I feel sorry for Neil Critchley. He's walked into a fucking mess of a club. Just imagine Birmingham away we were singing 'we're Queens Park Rangers we're top of the league' What an embarrassing capitulation you say its a mess but its easily fixable what MW created was easy fixed unfortunatley for us Beale made some strange signings all this squad is missing is 2 strikers that know where the back of the net is think a mess of a club is slightly exaggerating Na it's a mess mate. The board don't know their arse from their elbow, our squad is poor bar 4 players, we don't have a striker and we're skint. Sounds well promising doesn't it |

Just imagine Birmingham away we were singing 'we're Queens Park Rangers we're top of the league' What an embarrassing capitulation The recruitment team including Ferdinand and Ramsey need moving on as no matter who the manager is we end up with this same inquest and shit playing squad. How on earth can you have as many centre halves as we do and that useless cunt Dykes as our only centre forward. Amit and Fernandes and his cronies can be slung in to this category as well as they allow this to carry on. |

Apart from anything else we were tactically inept yesterday.
I saw a lot of things reminiscent of our worst days under previous managers: wasted set pieces, slow slow ball, lack of movement, mf with front line in a different county, disjointed half arsed press, lack of motivation, questionable selection, questionable subs timing, .
None of these things were put to Critchley in that fucking useless interview.

None of these things were put to Critchley in that fucking useless interview. All very fair points but he had over a 40% win rate at Blackpool. You don’t get that unless you know how to set up a team. Need to give him time. I was also furious yesterday but more at some of his comments and general demeanour. |

We need to also remember Critchley unlike Fatboy and Warburton is much more reserved as those two loved to talk. Hopefully he has given the board of the names of who he was describing and have them moved on if at all possible.

Critchley will come good once he gets players who will turn up every week to want to play.
Too many looking for a move and too many simply not giving a monkeys at the moment.

Yeah, but it needs the club to get the players in. Maybe Eel wanted some too?

Reading between the lines, after Sheffield Utd this was a match were he most likely wanted to test character, grit, ability and tactical nouse within the squad. But most of them failed and failed miserably with a capital F.. |

Why does the intrepid reporter always seem to be awkward and embarrassed to ask a question? I think he’s hopeless.

To his credit he is slowly turning the ship round: 5 pts in 4 games vs 0 pts in the Eel/Hall's 4 previous games. 6 in 5 now (with just one league loss) as he continues to turn things round. It was always going to take time but we're at least moving in the right direction again. Fans need to show a bit of patience imo. |

Copping some unnecessary flack in my opinion. He's actually got more points from his first 5 games than Beale.

It’s his team selection that bugs me, those selections are producing a poor style of play that’s not sustainable against better opponents than todays. I didn’t think we played as well as some thought against Sheff Utd either. |

What do you suggest we do Sparks? He's inherited a squad that aside from central defence, basically doesn't have sufficient options to rotate.
People crying out for Armstrong sums it up for me. Our lack of attacking options is leading us to call for a kid who has never scored a goal for the club.

Are you saying it’s ok for him to select Field as our main creative MF player, thats never going to work as todays passing showed, why can’t one of the B team players step up.Both Aoraha and Bonner were both selected prior to yesterdays B match being called off. Iroegbunam looks a shadow of the player he’s been for majority of the season in his deeper role. If Critchley can’t get a tune out of our 2 best players in Chair and Willock then something is seriously wrong. |

He's not been the same since the injury and that is a real worry. The big hoof up the field from Dunne or Dieng to Donkey certainly don’t help either Willock or Chairs poor form. |

Not Critchley's fault that the previous regime went into the season without another creative central midfielder who's up to the job. It would be nice if we can give the bloke a chance to bring in a few of his own players before we start getting on his back. We all whinge about the lack of options every time we change managers. Any perspective manager looking at some of the posts on here would run a country mile if we came knocking. |

The man doesn’t deserve an ounce of flak… yet.
He’s walked into a fucking mess of a club and a squad of players on their arses after being abandoned by the fat moley cunt.
I get his substitutions and decisions will be questioned but he needs to try anything and everything right now to try and find a formula that works.
What I will say is although it took us 60 mins to actually start playing today, I think that puts to bed any talk of the players are not playing for him.
Another 7-8 mins and we’d have won that today.

The place is a mess mate. Sheffield Utd we looked unreal then you have Fleetwoood. It’s gonna take time and different things to get his message firmly embedded into the players. |

Sparks after last week why can you not give the guy a bit of credit for today? I get you clearly do not like him but lets be real he has inherited a shit pile left by fatboy and doing his very best to get us on track. What chance has he got when he is being written off after 5 or 6 games |

I'll repeat a stat I mentioned earlier today. Critchley has more points from his first 5 games than Beale. And that's with a squad he inherited, not one he's hand picked. Yet 2 months back Beale was the fucking messiah.
Some fans need to get a grip.

Guy deserves fair opportunity, not to be run out of town because some people don’t like his voice. |
