Was Critchley applauding fans as they boo’ed?

That assistant manager, who ever he is was seen saying "why are they booing?"
Maybe if he watched our negative, slow, lazy, no movement off the ball, half hearted challenges, time wasting, keeper as playmaker, boring shite then he would know exactly why we are booing.

Maybe if the management all resign, we will cheer for you.

So boring and predictable watching that awful formation today.
 
Well it's certainly a case of back him pre season and bring in 4 or 5 players who have the quality and can play his system well and spend some money on them or sack him, bring someone else in and then fake it again for another season and let a new manager hold the can for the recruitment if the players yet again fcuk it up

Sadler has already backed Critchley. These players are HIS players. If they aren’t good enough it’s on him. Why do we need to bring players in to fit his system? Surely he could have looked at the squad at the start of the season and picked a formation to suit? Ie A back four for starters.

Do you really think he needs backing again?

Has he? A couple of freebies and a couple of loans after us losing every single good player from our relegated team. This squad is bang average.
Agree about the system, I don't like it either and Critchley has made plenty of mistakes too but a new manager doesn't get this squad promoted in my opinion without 4 or 5 new players

MrsBillyRonsonno4 called him a cun. at full-time. I've never heard her use that word in 30 years

What about the much heralded signing of Norburn? He was supposed to be our midfield maestro. Started off ok but has gone (literally) backwards under Critchley. Rhodes, Dembele, Coulson and Byres have all been quality (and no doubt expensive) loan signings.
But we persisted with a shit negative system all season which never put us in the mix. A huge missed opportunity this season and that is 100% on Critchley.

And then there was CJ's contract of doom
 
Players I’d release in the summer:

Connolly, Husband, Norburn, Virtue, Carey, Hamilton, Lavery, Beesley, Kouassi, Joseph

All of them not good enough for a top 6 league one team. New manager like Michael Duff or Peter Wild wouldn’t go amiss either
I'd keep Joseph under a new manager and Lavery as a 4/5th choice sub but the rest especially Norburn can go.

I think that’s why Sadler gave him the job.
4 year deal in return for knowing he’s not getting backed with real quality players.
Remit just keep us in league 1.
 
For a good minute, staring hard at them. Bit of a stand off to me. He has lost the supporters now, that's it for any manager.
He lost me a little while ago but today was very special simply because we needed to win and there is no coming back for him today with me.
In the real world come substitution time and a roll of the dice you would sacrifice a defender or an MF and get a striker on.
Yes go for it with 3 upfront so now either he has been instructed to keep us in this division at all costs or he truly is the biggest cnut ever.

Why take two strikers off and replace them with one?

You know what, I kind of agree but I think SS thought he could rebuild the team and get us up without a big outlay and I think his remit is to do it within 2 or 3 years trying to use his knowledge of younger players.

Cos he’s a coward. A wet wipe. A man with zero risk in his body. Safety first, boring football
 
I’m really disappointed this season & with the remnants of a championship squad & a manager returning that knew a lot of the players I expected much better & perhaps an automatic promotion. What we’ve had is yet another painfully slow start & some weird team selection’s. Coupled with the insistence in playing the same system. I actually felt sorry today for our forwards for they got virtually no service at all. We looked like a team of strangers & players we know are better looked crap, you could sympathise with anyone saying get rid of the lot of them. Although too late now I believe Critchley needs to go. Should have given Dobbie the opportunity rather than bring back Critchley. I rushed back from a weekend away to watch that rubbish (silly me)

You could be right but he needs plenty of backing in the summer, I thought when Sadler brought him back he was really going to go for it.

Your opinion ,not everyone else's ,but we do need to get rid of some players and bring in better ones.

We're not going to release Joseph. He will come good just needs some confidence and the right people around him. Kouassi has shown some potential in the EFL cup games and makes sense to give him more time.

Better without him on the pitch
