Bit unfair to criticise Holloway for being gung ho, that's what Blackpool fans have enjoyed about him as manager
Why is it unfair?
He did remarkably well getting Blackpool into the Prem and credit to him and the players for their start to the season.But,he's been a manager for a long time and surely watched previous Prem seasons as every year the teams relegated have been slagged off for their defensive frailties throughout the season.
Maybe Holloway and his chairman expected to go staight back down and decided not to spend any money(to take the £40 million tv money and the £48 million parachute payments) and to have a cameo season entertaining the neutrals.If not,and he thought he could stay in the prem playing his gung ho style,then he is a naive manager who should be rightly critisized.
The Blackpool fans i talked to this season were desperate for Holloway to change his tactics.They should have won both games aginst us but instead of shutting up shop with 10 mins to go,he brought on two more strikers.If he'd have done what any normal manager would have done,they would still be in the prem and we would be down.....................hmmmmm,i've changed my mind,i love him now.
