Lollards were not only the followers of John Wyclif - they were called the Wycliffites. The term "Lollard" loosely refers to heretics in general (the name possibly derives from the dutch term meaning "babbler"). While some Lollards were sympathetic to the views of Wyclif, they also disagreed and differed on some points.
The point is, a Lollard was not only a Wycliffite.

Why did the lollards criticise the Catholic church?
The Lollards were a "heretical" body of followers in England during the latter part of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century, led by John Wyclif. The name "Lollard" has been used in Flanders early in the fourteenth century to mean "Hypocrite," but I find that a very harsh view of the group. The Lollards were upset with the Catholic Church's ideas of excommunication, believing that no human could or SHOULD have the power to break another human's ties to God, not even as a punishment. Many other religions that have spun off from the Catholic Church believe this as well--that's one of the main criticisms for the old-fashioned catholic religion.
