Because, surely, if he deselects Jimmy for such flagrant disobedience, how does he justify failing to mete out the same punishment to his (Jimmy's) 10 remaining team-mates for the same transgression - i.e. disobeying the fluid tiki-taka Critchall game plan drills? Go on - answer me that!
Well if everyone’s at it, he should resign. Charlie Caroli in change of the circus 😂
 
Richie Wellens said his team didn't need to play to beat us the other night and approached it differently to their win at Oxford a few days before. Tries to adapt his plan to the opposition. So I think he knew in this one that our lot would get themselves in a mess and if they were there to take advantage just once and then make life difficult then it would be enough as there wouldn't be a response to it. But if they needed to they had another gear to move up into.

It sounds like one of his main metrics is common sense and being clear with his players what is expected of them.

How much more purposeful and positive does that sound compared to what we get to hear week in, week out? Chalk and cheese.
 
When you go into a game with your pre match motivational comments against a poor Shrewsbury team of "any game in this league away from home is difficult", you know the writing is on the wall. We should be hammering sides like this. Instead we will probably have one shot on target. Unless something changes the next season is going to be more of the same.
 
From what Sadler has said it would seem that Critchley will get next season to get it right.
If at the halfway point of next season it isn't going as Sadler expects then Critchley's position could and should come under serious threat.
Maybe that could be viewed as the dreaded "vote of confidence", after which many managers have found themselves potted. Fkin hope so anyway.
 
I'm not sure that you can draw that conclusion about confidence really... It would be perfectly plausible to suffer confidence issues away from home, whilst being unaffected at home and of course, the longer the away form continues, the more it would reinforce the problem.

That's not to say that it isn't ultimately an issue that the Manager himself would need to take responsibility for in any case. He's had long enough now to get his house in order and to start producing... OK, it's possible that we may need to offload a few players who maybe have wanted out since our relegation (that can cause a bit of a potential hangover) and perhaps we need a few more in, but even so... The results away from home should have been addressed by now.
staggering stuff there, mary. You've gone full circle in your earlier views of stoically defending Critchley against his critics to now saying he needs to take responsibility for results and that he's had long enough to start producing.
 
Yeah and to be honest and its not aimed at you personally but i don't give a monkeys i cant be arsed what people think. My view is and it has never changed is that he is the best man for the job and always has been and is going to get things right, it is as i have said many times on here a project and not an overnight fix.
I am not a Critchley out man, i don't lose sleep over results, i'm happy with tactics and the formations, and i'm not a sulker if we lose, i am not in the Dobbie party, and finally i think SS is doing really well.
Its called there is more to life than letting what is happening at BFC get to you.
Your views and writing style seem very similar to the Bifster of old who went to extraordinary lengths to support NC on here but who has recently conceded that NC may not be the Messiah. Are you his twin/alter-ego?

Coincidentally, BFCfan33 seems to have picked up that baton.
 
Who is Bifster?, don't have to give it large been there done it unlike you who can only dream about it with sock in hand, just do a little research thicko and you will find you are wrong and as i said my time is nearly done on here and then you won't have to respond to me again.
why leave so soon 33, this is some great bants

In complete agreement. I can see it now, for the 2024/5 campaign, as CJ comes trotting out, yet again, as a 1st team starter for the latest fixture against whoever, all followers of BFC are inevitably going to be experiencing strong feelings of deja-vu as they look on incredulously at what is unfolding before them.

Can't wait!
 
Go at the end of the season!
People are losing interest. It’s repetitive with no plan B apart from changing personnel.
