Unless Sadler turns his nasty side, if he’s got one, on Critchley. The coaching and tactics will be the same next season, I don’t think he will change, unless someone writes a new coaching manual for him to follow. Those three haven’t got a single idea of their own.Capable with attacking mindset coaching and tactics.
No chance under the current approach
good post for me this. one thing yesterday that didn’t sit right for me i noticed him tearing a strip off casey yesterday (second half), i know our captain is a “moaner” (most teams have one tbf) but surely it’s counter productive especially as casey is a young lad learning his trade and doing very well at it.We can blame Critchley for lots of things but it's every bit as much on the players as it is the manager. Joseph is up there with the worst number 9s I've seen in a Blackpool shirt. Yes he runs around but he'll never be a 20 goal striker, he'll struggle to get 20 efforts on target. Norburn is an absolute plodder. After Portsmouth and having a great game, he's quickly reverted to type and shown what a completely uninspiring player and captain he is. If that's the sum of our ambition in the transfer market, we can expect a lengthy spell in the lower divisions. When Dembele, Byers, Ekpiteta, Lavery, etc leave in the summer I'm not overly hopeful oir recruitment team and owner will replace them with better. The club needs a bit of a shake up, we need to take a look at what we actually want to achieve. Sadler talked about building an exciting Blackpool team that plays on the front foot and gives everything for the shirt, well he needs to think about how we go from yesterday's performance to a team that is capable of producing such football.
Look at Lincoln they got good players from somewhere for not a lot of moneyWe can blame Critchley for lots of things but it's every bit as much on the players as it is the manager.

I'm afraid Joseph is looking like an expensive flop. A forward with a career to date goals per appearance ratio of 1 in 6 isn't likely to suddenly set the world on fire.Look at Lincoln they got good players from somewhere for not a lot of money
Remember the stick Hardie got, now Joseph who can play killer passes as well as forward play, definitely think he will come good.
Not sure all those on your list of leavers will go.
Think a lot of our players have a good attitude, but things need to change.
It’s not good to be so predictable.Just watching EFL highlights. How teams score goals is often thro speed and running off the ball. We are so slow and deliberate and other teams know exactly how we play - as we fans do
And we certainly haven’t got an exceptional coach despite what you said about him in the recent past..he’s out of excuses and out of hiding places. If he is staying then we have to invest in the squad and hope he can turn it around..assuming he is here next season then surely a play off position is the minimum requirement after 10 games…anything less is simply not good enough.if we miss out on a play off place then this season has been a missed opportunity and a massive disappointment..I would rate the manager’s performance as a solid 3/10 thus farI don’t think so… certainly not without an exceptional coach.
When you say "take Critch out of the equation" you're not a hit man by any chanceSo let’s take Critch out of the equation is this team/squad good enough to win promotion?
You’re right about Norburn etc. Who signed them ? Oh yes Critchley, who was chasing Norburn for a couple of years? Oh yes Critchley, who keeps saying as yesterday we were competitive, we deserved something? Oh yes Critchley. Dress it up however you like, why do we sign players with a reasonable reputation and they end up plodders. Critchley trying to make them play in positions and a system they’re not comfortable with and he hasn’t got the nous to change the system to suit the players. He would rather try and make the players fit his system.We can blame Critchley for lots of things but it's every bit as much on the players as it is the manager.

Finally. We normally wander around like of a bunch of mutes, and criticise them for there not being a leader.good post for me this. one thing yesterday that didn’t sit right for me i noticed him tearing a strip off casey yesterday (second half), i know our captain is a “moaner” (most teams have one tbf) but surely it’s counter productive especially as casey is a young lad learning his trade and doing very well at it.
Did Wigan deserve to win? He's right, we did deserve something from it.You’re right about Norburn etc. Who signed them ? Oh yes Critchley, who was chasing Norburn for a couple of years?

After that first half? We deserved what we got. Any decent team would have destroyed us in that first half. Alright we were a little better in the second half, by then it could have been too late.Did Wigan deserve to win? He's right, we did deserve something from it.
But it wasn't. Wigan had one shot on target in 100 minutes and only 4 off target. How is that a well deserved win? How is that 'destroying' us?After that first half? We deserved what we got.

Read my post properly, I said any decent team. I didn’t mention Wigan, they were as bad as us, but took their chance.But it wasn't. Wigan had one shot on target in 100 minutes and only 4 off target. How is that a well deserved win? How is that 'destroying' us?
I genuinely don't recall any of this supposed Wigan superiority in the first half. One chance. That's it.
We weren't playing any other team. We were playing Wigan. Other teams are irrelevant to the conversation.Read my post properly, I said any decent team. I didn’t mention Wigan, they were as bad as us, but took their chance.
Ok , we have the best manager ever. We have the worst players in league one and it’s all their fault. Critchley is battling on manfully against the odds and we’re damn lucky to have him. Happy?We weren't playing any other team. We were playing Wigan. Other teams are irrelevant to the conversation.
I'm not saying that at all.Ok , we have the best manager ever. We have the worst players in league one and it’s all their fault. Critchley is battling on manfully against the odds and we’re damn lucky to have him. Happy?

We need more of it, not less.
only when it’s constructive Wiz. The particular instance i’m referring to was when Norbs was covering his own error, that isn’t needed especially directed to an up and coming youngster.Finally. We normally wander around like of a bunch of mutes, and criticise them for there not being a leader.

That I do not understand. To get something out of the game we needed to score at least one goal, but we did not possess that ability, so yes we deserved to lose. Not forgetting that not for the first time in an away game we were slow to react and allowed a cross to come into our box and once it had entered our box we did not deal with it. These repeated errors should have been ironed out on the training field, but they keep recurring!Did Wigan deserve to win? He's right, we did deserve something from it.
