Can see them winning now - we definitely fooked upFirst thought I had when I looked at the table this morning .. Barnsley fans must be pissing themselves!
100%The league isn’t defined by one game. Yesterday was just another away game where they don’t turn up. All them shite away performances have cost us a place in the play offs.
Did Critch get a standing ovation at the final whistle..The league isn’t defined by one game. Yesterday was just another away game where they don’t turn up. All them shite away performances have cost us a place in the play offs.
There is such a soft underbelly to this squad. I watched Barrow v Mansfield on the firestick yesterday and Barrow just missed out because they drew but christ they didn’t half have a go, they busted an absolute bollock to score and every player collapsed to the ground at the final whistle. The manager went round the ground to a standing ovation from their fans because they knew what it meant to the players and coaches.
Apparently he went fist pumping to the Reading fansDid Critch get a standing ovation at the final whistle..
I wouldn't know because I left just before the end
Yes the players need to take some of the blameWe are dull to watch but Critchley can’t legislate for 2 defenders watching the ball and leaving a centre forward in 6 feet of space. That is criminal and a sign players were not up to it. 1 0 up defend as if your life depends on it and you win.
We never did, West Ham and Torquay.Let's be honest, we had no chance of winning the play offs. This would have been the worst ever Blackpool side to make them. Iam not buying that we always win the play offs. This bunch didn't have the heart to do it.
He said it wouldn't have been fair to bring on Emmerson on and Virtue is capable of scoring. What possible damage would it have caused Emmerson to get 10 mins ? Could have boosted his confidence.For me it's the reluctance to be expressive, to try something different.
At 3-1 down. We had all 11 players back at a corner.
At 3-1 down we made subs in the 75th minute.
At 3-1 down we left a young lad who would have been BEYOND hungry to get a goal which could have re-ignited us.
At 3-1 down we took a striker off and brought a midfielder on.
exactly, it's utter bullshitHe said it wouldn't have been fair to bring on Emmerson on and Virtue is capable of scoring. What possible damage would it have caused Emmerson to get 10 mins ? Could have boosted his confidence.

Yep. The old adage of leaving it all out on the pitch, nowt left in the tank etc.The league isn’t defined by one game. Yesterday was just another away game where they don’t turn up. All them shite away performances have cost us a place in the play offs.

And the same Matty Virtue who has scored once in 3 years…exactly, it's utter bullshit
I thought exactly the same after the first game of the season at home to Burton. 2-0 up and there for a record home win for the first game of the season and we sat back. Fcuking Barnsley put 7 past Port Vale on the same dayHe’s right!
He lost it for us over the course of a full season with crap tactics and little motivation!
I went to Exeter away at the start of the season, the writing was on the wall then, a game for the taking but Critch happy with a nil nil.
All season he never changed, so therefore this is the first time I’ve stuck up for him but he is 100% correct, we lost over the course of the season, a miserable, negative and tactically inept season!
Why put him on the bench then??!! He's 19 now, it would have done him good.He said it wouldn't have been fair to bring on Emmerson on and Virtue is capable of scoring. What possible damage would it have caused Emmerson to get 10 mins ? Could have boosted his confidence.
Exactly that. Is it not a bit unfair to put someone on the bench you you have no intention of playingWhy put him on the bench then??!! He's 19 now, it would have done him good.
They can have himApparently he went fist pumping to the Reading fans
