'Patience is wearing thin and Neil Critchley is on borrowed time'

We asked for your views on Hearts' 2-2 draw against Ross County.

Here's what some of you said:

Dougie: We are now definitely in a relegation battle, poor defending and management decisions again. It's going to be a long season.

Lee: Patience is wearing thin and Neil Critchley is on borrowed time. If the transfer window fails to yield progress then not only does the manager need to be booted, but the entire board need to precede him. Thank you for your service, but we need better and it starts with you.

John: We're in a relegation battle half way through the season. No improvement since April/May. Drastic action required in the January window, difficult to do but there's no alternative. We need a squad to get us clear of relegation, then a total clear out come summer. To pick 42-year-old Craig Gordon over Zander Clark is madness. Critchley is trying too hard to be popular.

Jim: Scrap the obsession with the Pep Guardiola style of football and let players use the skills they are born with. There are players who are natural defenders, midfielders, strikers, but are held back by negative tactics like pointless passing across the back three/four, back to the keeper. Teams alter tactics, revert to more positive moves when losing!

Iain: Let's be clear that we should have had a penalty and then we win 3-0 and it's a great day for us. Leave that aside, the capitulation is horrific and the players should be ashamed. I said on here when Critchley was appointed that he was the wrong man and we'd be bottom at New Year.

Raymond: Total lack of composure and yet again another loss of valuable points in the fight against relegation. Critchley is simply devoid of tactics and is incapable of motivating this team. The board must face up to this current situation and replace him with a more experienced coach or manager before it is too late.
