    If TM was being made to pick certain players he would have left in the summer

    Pritch is quality when hes on it but last season he was poor - went missing far too often and thats why he doesnt start week in week out

    He can still impact games from the start, but he does it less than he does off the bench. Still a quality squad player for us and i would be starting him against Preston

    FT 1-1 Too little, too late, and two huge points lost.

    Horrendous performance, poor result.

    If Beale just packed it in tonight, this team would be no worse off.

    Completely agree.

    I rate Pritch, he has that bit of magic but he’s had a heap of chances to claim that shirt.

    To suggest otherwise is absolute nonsense.

    Pritchard has started more games this season than Adil. Ba has mostly been used as a right winger.

    I thought we played well for the last 20 minutes or so. Pembele made a big difference, looks a player. OAU.

    Yes I know, I was watching the same game as you and everyone else.

    We looked tired and didn't play well.

    Called it before the match that it would be a much tougher game than on paper. A Rotherham team that has just dug deep against Boro that’ll do exactly the same against us, and they did.

    only wish from us that we’d looked to have moved the ball quicker earlier, and play a striker as even with burstow, we seemed more direct in the second half as the 1st we had no ****er there

    They all take his minutes. Simply as that.

    Prichard is better than them both. He is aging and not french therefore , managers are getting told not to play him. If Mowbray last stand didn't tell you that, nowt will.

    Three games in and no sign of any significant change.

    I'll take the point that we didn't deserve.

    This team is so slow and ponderous compared to last season. Beale has a lot of work to do to improve us.
