Maybe have a look at your own fans? After winning away at then top side Bournemouth it was back to boos and heckling players live on the pitch next game at Forest. The abuse thrown at them at Bloomfield Road was appalling. You've actually have some results here and there yet midtable was not good enough despite having no right to be any higher.

The only reason you lot were moaning so much is because we beat you.

No one is calling for heads and if we finished the season 17th in the championship then I would be fine with that but we still need to strive to be better, otherwise what’s the point.
 
Critch may be the boss and have all the paper work to prove it, but fans are allowed an opinion and I believe this is a country of free speech. I just wonder if he comes on this website to get opinions or ideas ,because nobody is perfect and sometimes things are highlighted that is not that obvious. I would imagine not ,but people with certificates don't know everything.

We haven't got a consistent opinion between us🤣

Which one of the 1001 different opinions based on hindsight do you think he should go with?

After what we've witnessed, PNE fans calling Blackpool fans negative is a step too far.

We still clap players off and not hurl crazy insults at them.
 
There’s a world of difference between a few disgruntled fans moaning about things on a MB, to giving players & staff verbal abuse on the pitch. Really is no comparison.

Disagree, I think there is universal support for not chopping & changing, starting with our best 11 and playing 2 up front.

You mean that's what you think🤣

Firstly, without chopping and changing, we'll never ever be able to find out what our so called 'best 11' is.... So the fact is that the idea of 'playing your best starting 11' whoever that is, is a completely backward policy, that literally never allows your team the option to progress beyond, the same starting 11.

As for two up front... Fine in principle, but which two, how does that impact on this so called 'best 11' etc..?

It's all very easy, until you have to get a result....

Why chop and change players that have performed well . Gabriel and Grimshaw did nothing wrong IN MY OPINION . Yet they both get dropped and we lose 3-0 . If he does not know his better players especially when he has access to all training sessions ,then there is something wrong.

You mentioned you’d had a few on Saturday, so maybe you missed the huge number of posts about the chopping & changing, leaving better players out and not playing 2 up top.

The point I was making is that by now, Critch should now what his best 11 is, subject to everyone being fit. Further, we beat Fulham, Blackburn and Preston with 2 up top. We have shown little threat with 1 up.

The picking of Connolly away at Swansea, Birmingham and Derby is misguided. He is not a midfielder and Kenny is different class, even on a bad day.

Gabriel was in great form, outstanding really, full of positivity in his play and adding value to the wingers, but he’s been benched.

We’ve not scored in an age, yet we persist with 1 up. He drops Jerry, a class striker, because Jerry can’t do his job with 1 up and without service. It is the same playing Madine or Lavery alone and isolated.

I’m not saying that any of us knows better than Critch, but I adopt the above approach in my coaching. I know the players I have and what works best, and that consistency helps breed development.

To answer your final point, it’s his job to get results and we as fans will have opinions on how that’s going.

I think Critch is trying to keep everyone happy, and Connolly is a great example of that - 3rd choice RB so slotted in midfield. Bring him on if needed, but don’t start him. I also think Critch got to 27 points much earlier than he (or us) thought possible. Since then his approach has been erratic, and perhaps he thought he could afford to chop & change. Personally I think he decided to consolidate, happy to pick up draws to nudge us forward, which has translated into a generally negative approach. QPR was a great example, well on top in the last 20 and he left Jerry on the bench at 1-1 in a home game.

He has my full support, he’s still learning and he’ll turn things around.

Players play better if they play together regularly. A settled side allows for understanding of each others' movement etc. It's like a bunch of strangers at the moment.
