Neil Critchley - Former Assistant Head Coach

[Duncan Shaw]

Just read that out of all the Managers that have taken charge of 10 games or more for QPR, he has the worst win percentage in their history. Currently at 10%. 1-5-4.

He’s making Beale look a very good coach.  The wheels have fallen off at QPR since his arrival, and it wasn’t much better at Villa.

Certainly is - I don't think there is much doubt that Beale is a very good coach indeed!

What happened at Villa?

His boss.

And we were. Better side when Beale was at the club. Despite Gerrard & his stupid little turnip shaped forehead. As for Critchley, we were always onto a loser when he joined. People stated that it was great we had such an experienced assistant, but Critchley has never been anything other than an average low league quality manager. I shuddered when I though he was basically going to be in charge of coaching while Gerrard cheerled the Dipper loving media. While Beale was at the club, we had a little going for us. With Gerrard & Critchley, well, we all witnessed that debacle... So it is no surprise he is destroying the good work Beale did at QPR. Just a shame Iroegbunam has to be involved in it all...

[Drummond]

Critchkey was doing a great job at Blackpool really well qualified too. His time at our club was completely tainted by the charlatan of a head coach.

Interesting that it's gone wrong at QPR though Beale fucking them over has derailed them somewhat.

We might have been better off moving Iroegbunam in January.

Let him go through the struggle, it’s character building

Agreed, he'll learn more from playing through it than perhaps not playing at a side better placed. Him continuing to apply himself to his best is all that matters.

We started well under Gerrard but teams worked out how to expose us by going in behind the fullbacks. I fully believe that Beale came up with the idea of the midfield helping to plug those gaps as a temporary solution to get us to the end of the season. What should've then happened is that we came up with a long-term solution in pre-season but he left and no-one bothered to find that fix so we carried on playing with the short-term tactics but they made us boring and predictable.

I blame Critchley nearly as much as Gerrard for that because the assistant manager was, according to Gerrard, clearly supposed to be the guy who did most of the work.

3 clowns. QPR must hate us.
Beale looks OK back in Scotland. It’s his level

There are worrying signs that we've been sussed again though. It's still too easy to get beyond our full backs, because Young has no pace, and Cash is often too advanced. Neither Digne or Moreno are especially strong defensively. We try to play better football than under Gerrard, but put pressure on Luiz and Kamara, and also on the crap short goal kick routine and it all starts to fall apart. The 4-4-2 isn't very effective when you have two players like Ramsey and Bailey who aren't contributing anything useful of note.

Any team with 2 or 3 playing like drains will usually find their tactics failing. Fuck Bailey off for a bit and give young Jhon his shirt, get McGinn in for Ramsey and Moreno for Digne and let's see how we look.

I see he’s gone back to Blackpool following their relegation.  Surprised they were happy for him to come back!

[Dogtanian]

There was a lot of hatred and venom when he dumped them to become a number two. Now he’s been sacked twice and crawled back… it’s gonna take some doing to win a lot of them back over I think.
