How Critchley cannot see that Kakay is useless at RB is beyond me Laird injured. Who else he got to choose from in fairness? |

He is saying right things post match at least. Needs something drastic though.

Needs something drastic though. just watched his post match interview. yes, he says the right things but clearly, the players do not respect him. he comes across as having no authority at the club and just seems to be a yes man. nice chap but his days are extremely numbered. |

Dont agree with some of his comments about formations/tactics
I find it difficult to agree with his team selections, big worry for me is he’s not getting nowhere enough out our best players like Iroegbunam, Chair and most notably Willock.
When he spoke about being powder puff in putting in challenges what is he expecting when selecting players like Adomah and Roberts?
Seeing 2 of our own players challenge for the same aerial ball is becoming a common theme,.I’ve seen Field and Dunne doing it regular in games this season and today it was Dunne and Salter.
Him saying Armstrong had a positive impact today was possibly the only thing he got right.I thought Salter looked decent today.

If Critchley doesn’t “now” realise that playing Dunne and Dickie as a 2 is a disaster he should go back to coaching kids football. Well when I last checked JCS and Balogun as a combo weren't ready. And lets not forget people on here saying Masterson aint good enough...... So you tell me who he's supposed to play there? I'll say it again: the manager is irrelevant at LR. It's the regime. I'm really glad other people are getting that. |

I'm really glad other people are getting that. Balogun isn’t ready, the others one is in Salter as shown when he played the second half today? There is obviously the option of playing 3 CBs too. just because you keep repeating the structure of the club is rotten should not mean getting beat 3-0 can’t be improved upon with an alternative approach. |

Just to clarify your point about the regime being the biggest problem and it appears your insinuating that I don’t agree “I do,they are inept” but don’t feel the need the state the bloody obvious in every post I make. |

If wanted to have a pop at you mate I'd say so, no worries. I am genuinely glad that everyone is waking up to the reality. I may have gone on repeating it, but it needed repeating again and again as we went from one questionable appointment to another. The only way things will change is via direct action: ie non attendance, protest etc. As for Critchley, I completely agree that he's one of the least inspiring people I've ever seen in the management game, and I've see a few. Like his recent predecessors (except Beale) he would not have been my choice - I felt the short list was desperately uninspiring and said so on here. But anyone coming here as manager is going struggle until bigger things change. |

If critchley is the answer What is the question. lots of possibilities tbh. "name someone who needs his mum to make phone calls for him" "who walks at least 3 steps away from hedges just incase a cat is lurking under them?" "in a game of monopoly, who always chooses the thimble?" tonnes of questions could apply to him. |

Seems out of his depth but prob too expensive to sack and in any case probably won’t make much difference given the financial constraints

Club needs to bring in a strong, experienced manager to organise the playing side from top to bottom and it won’t happen. We need to stop kidding ourselves that we spot rough diamonds and develop players too. Can’t live off the success with Eze forever, too many other failures. |

So much competition for rough diamonds, and we not exactly attractive at mo so if u have choices we going to be 2nd choice.
Stop picking up every castoff from prem teams to see if they come good. The prem clubs are not stupid they in the prem, so if they think they not going to make it they probably right. Get a manager that wins dirty dull or anyway but knows how to win. Who is not a puppet and won’t take any shit dross thrown their way as a squad.
Lastly show some pride and interest in your fucking club. After all it’s cost and costing u enough for the pleasure. It’s not a kid whom can be fobbed off in corner with some sweets. It needs love attention commitment and your time, as well as money. Just like a child.

If Critchley doesn’t “now” realise that playing Dunne and Dickie as a 2 is a disaster he should go back to coaching kids football. I used be a big fan of dunne but he’s gone downhill. Think he like Dickie started believing the hype from fans around him. For me it’s Salter plus one other or three at the back. |

We have to stop conceding so many goals. Especially since we don’t score many either. Got to be hard to beat. This change worked for Warbs, when we were in a similar poor run. |

I think 3 at the back is a shout. How we line up in attack is a conundrum though. Too many players being shoehorned into attacking roles that don't really suit them.

Too many players being shoehorned into attacking roles that don't really suit them. have 2 sitters like field and stef and then 3 up top as usual. we have a lot of depth in the AM department so we should be switching players out fairly regularly so that we always have fresh legs on the pitch. in possession we go 343 and out of possession 541 with the striker being someone pacey to catch them on the counter whilst dykes drops into midfield to help with pressing and defending. |

Dunne suffering because of the team or team suffering partly down to Dunne’s drop in form (not alone) I’m not sure, but he will come again as we’ve seen it’s in there. Dickie won’t get any better because he lacks pace. 3 is a good call given the squad and our current full backs. Not much behind them though is there?

This isn’t a dig primarily at Hall or Critchley but why am I now seeing Hall sitting alongside the coaches at first team matches, I haven’t seen him so visible with previous managers?
Is he there because he’s a familiar face for the players to open up to because they are failing to bond with Critchley and his assistants.
Last season Warburton falling out with the DOF stunk the place out it appears that another situation is repeating itself, Willock contract situation looks a likely place to start looking for answers imo.

Yes, hall has become a permanent fixture on the first team bench since Paul Daniels took charge.
The question now is, was hall chosen by the manager or was he shoehorned into the dugout by someone else
