WYCOMBE REACTION | NEIL CRITCHLEY.

That's all well and good Critchley, blaming the players, you are right, they were shit and not good enough but you are ignoring the elephant in the room.... Your formation and tactics, not one mention about that, just the players not doing what they are supposed to and no personality.... No personality?? Ha, how ironic is that. So, it was the players not doing what they were training for so they will just continue playing the same formation and ** it up because it doesn't work. The sooner he's gone, for good hopefully this time, the better.
 
So, he knew how they were going to play, he knew what they were capable of, talks about them being strong and physical and then sets up the way he did, and expected a different outcome. Also what in the name of thermal vests is playing with personality?

but you're a defender of Hamilton..
 
look, it's not about defending or attacking the manager or any individual player. If we are shit then say so, if an individual player has a bad game then say so, stop trying to defend the indefensible. And the opposite applies too, the manager gets it right then say so, a player has a great game then say so.

Wigan was great as much as Wycombe was bad. And so far this season there's been far more bad than good. Just be honest. No excuses.
 
I’m fed up with Critchley’s chat after games “the players need to play with more personality, more aggression and intensity” Yes and it’s your job to get them to do that, you said you were very happy with this grooop, so do your job. And you are not going to get an aggressive and intense performances when your playing style is safety first keep ball .

It's all the players fault, not his in anyway, that sounds like a manager who is floundering and knows his days are numbered.

Yep, he looks more concerned than usual and I’m not convinced it’s all about the performance.

I do believe he needs more time though, as others have said, we can’t change our manager every time we lose.

Must say I always admired in his first time in charge the fact he didn't do that - I do wonder about his current thinking and whether the players are on board with it.

Yeah, it's the one thing he didn't do last time and it's a worry already for me.
 
When he's had 15 minutes to address the problems of the first half, and motivate the players for the second, and they do that 3 minutes later you have to wonder if they're listening to him.
 
One of the most frustrating things for me at the moment is there isn’t anybody to ask the questions that we all want answers to. We get these sound bites from the club and then they’re rehashed and published by the gazette. But there’s nobody actually asking the questions like why we’re playing Connolly and CJ out of position, why the midfielders are playing so wide and never getting anywhere near the forwards, how far injured players are away from returning etc.. It meant he isn’t accountable at all for any of the decisions he’s making

The irony is that Oyston would probably have gone for Dobbie, if only to save some money.

This is true. Often fell lucky by going with the cheaper option, eg Right-time Ollie and Larry Mk1, mojo at 100%

OO was also a far better judge of character and manager, with the odd couple of exceptions.
Takes a blagger to spot one.

Sadler couldn’t pick a winner in a 2 horse race and he needs someone alongside him to advise him better, because at the moment he’s just chucking good money after bad and that’s on him.

Appleton and McCarthy were absolute piśś takes by SS. Very difficult to get behind their appointments and subsequent approach.

I suspect Mansford had a big say in those two appointments.

I’m not so sure. BM rightly got blamed for many things. He talked a good talk but delivered very little.

Sadler must be picking these dreadful managers’ and he’s the common denominator. It’s crazy really. Talks about playing “the Blackpool way” and wants us to be entertaining and then appoints the complete opposite in a manager. It’s hard to fathom and frankly, I’m trying not to let it bother me.

Back-to-back relegations are a real possibility if things are left to continue like this, plus another dire transfer window in January.

We need action and not another ‘letter’

We could have had Evo, Edwards, Rosenior and Dobbie but all overlooked.
 
SS could appoint Dobbie and Bowyer right now, but has a habit of arranging deckchairs on the Titanic. We’re all shouting “iceberg!” and he’s plowing full steam ahead into disaster.

Anyway, let him crack on. The water is only up to the 1st deck. Don’t want another letter from the headmaster.

It's true I have no evidence to support my conjecture but it would make sense that BM was front and centre of these decisions. He was Sadler's football man running the show. I agree that he delivered little whilst talking the talk and maybe the McCarthy fiasco was the final straw for Sadler. But no, evidence I have none.
 
The managers were available at the time when we had vacancies, we even approached and nearly got Rosenior but for some reason he went for Appleton.

I didn't say Mansford didn't want Critchley first time I was told that he wouldn't have wanted him back had he still been employed the second time and Appleton was ultimately Sadler's choice, not Mansfords.
