No goals yet but THINGS ARE HAPPENING. Take note Critch. Attacking play is what the fans want

Ok, the post mortem can begin. Why play three at the back and possession based football when our best defender Marv looked horribly uncomfortable with it? He is not Beckenbauer. Why play CJ as RWB when he is a left footed winger? Why not play Lyons there when he was one of our best players...

Thought I would get some training gear to go to the gym in but very disappointed with what is on offer. In previous seasons there have been some nice polo shirts etc but the stuff this season is hideous. There is a black top with tangerine arms that looks like a hangover and then lots of grey...

Four great loans this season, who should have helped us towards a promotion push. We’ve got no chance with Dembele but if we played decent football I think the other three were all potential permanent signings. No chance they will sign with Critchley in charge. Who would want to play that crap...

Pick a suitable formation that will outmanoeuvre a 3-5-2/3-4-3. Play with attacking intent and score a goal. Sit back and hold your shape and let Blackpool pass it around slowly in their own half. If the little fella has the ball foul him before he can do any damage. Occasionally hit on the...

Should you ever need to check your watch is correct watch a Blackpool game. If you know the game kicks off at 3pm simply wait for the subs to come on. These will be on exactly 70mins every single time. So 45mins, plus 15mins for half time plus 25mins tells you it is exactly 4.25pm. More reliable...

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2024/03/19/sources-ex-celtic-starlet-may-get-big-move-as-west-ham-watch-brilliant-ace/ No way we are in the running to sign him now. I knew Championship sides would want him but the Prem is a big step up.

That suggests to me that this squad of players are plenty good enough to get promotion from, let’s face it, a poor League One. The dismal away form suggests Critchley is not getting the best out of the players, whether that is the wrong formation/tactics or he just can’t inspire them away from...

Poor lad has had a rough season. Looked like a serious injury. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Front foot football and what’s this? Half time substitutes! (I wonder if he reads this board?)Much, much better. Ironically I thought Coulson was having his best game before being taken off. Shout out to Beesley. Noticed he got a lot of stick on here this week but proved he is a useful striker...

We are so predictable in our play that the player on the ball generally has very little time on the ball to pick a pass. We always play an obvious ball, from Husband to Marv, back to Husband, it’s clear to the opposition and they just press us and then Husband is under pressure and just hoofs...

Odds with Sky Bet. Seem pretty generous with our home form and they’ve now lost their last four.

Season is over, said that after Stevenage. We aren’t going up or down so give Dobbie until the end of the season to see what he can do with this team. (Ideally with Bowyer by his side) Didn’t let us down last time. It is literally a zero risk appointment and has to be better than the current shite.

He’s a businessman and his football business is underperforming. He’s sacked Grayson and Appleton and McCarthy left my mutual consent, so he’s not afraid to make a change. Is Critchley in the firing line?

Just one of Critchley’s terrible decisions this season was to loan him back to Tranmere. Could have done with him tonight, even if it was just off the bench.

I think they are all good enough apart from Coulson Lavery Norburn Carey Connelly Overall I think we have the players, just need the manager to step up.

So far we have shipped 35 goals this season and still have 16 games to go. In 20/21 we conceded 37 all season. What’s going wrong? Are the defenders not as good or is it the three at the back that’s costing us? Is it a bit of both?

Easily the best player on the pitch tonight, a class act. How he isn’t starting league games is beyond me. If we don’t start playing him he will be off in the summer and who could blame him? Also noticed that Critchley congratulated all the players apart from Gabriel when he walked over to the...

Watched the Pep Guardiola doc on the iplayer and it is definitely worth a look. Explores how he has changed football with his possession based approach, which nearly all coaches seem to follow these days, including Critch. Also looks at how Pep was inspired to pass the ball from side to side...

I can’t think of one really. You could argue Bowler I suppose but he had already shown promise and been bought for a big fee before he came to us. Casey had to go on loan to develop, has done well (and been dropped for his troubles) ditto Apter, Tharme and Dale. Dembele is doing well but was...
