    It’s been 3 days and I want to stick pins in my eyes again.

    Mowbray loses to Huddersfield, Millwall, Plymouth and Stoke with the same Xl pretty much every game and its fine.

    Beale draws with a Rotherham team that have taken points off Leeds, Boro and Ipswich in their last 5 home games and it’s the end of the world.

    We’re away, it’s windy as f*ck, pissing down with rain, playing against a team who are happy to sit back all game.

    Roberts takes minutes from others but he’s not French so he escapes the dressing down

    This is always a weird time for results tbh.

    Preston lost at home to Sheff Wed who had ten men at the end.

    Ipswich drew at home to a QPR side who've had more shots.

    The bottom three all did well tonight.

    Piss off. He's had 3 games and less than 2 weeks give it a rest with your constant bullshit and negativity

    Mate. We have been very poor in 2 of them.

    Don't let reality hit you on the pillow.

    That was so disappointing. We look slow with no creativity. Also no impact from Beale what so ever so far. Same players, same tactics and same ****e results. I've been fully behind the owners so far, but they need to question why our season is stuttering with only half of it gone.

    Thought 09 and ballard had good games.against hard working forwards. Hume was a bit quiet

    We have, but it's way too early to judge. How many days on the training pitch has he had?

    3 underwhelming performances like but people need to be patient

    Why. It's the same as what we have. If a head coach isn't impactful then there is no point.

    Should have kept Dodds if this is what we are offering. My opinion and I'll say it. Think it's a poor appointment and a regressing situation.

    You'd hope that he'd at least have gotten something across though. One or two basic changes we could see on the pitch.

    To be fair there’s not been much positivity in the 3 games he has been in charge. I’ve certainly not seen any improvements on the pitch so far and no fresh ideas.

    I don’t think Beale has given up but I’m very unimpressed so far.

    What were Neil and Mowbray's comments about not being allowed to start Pritchard ahead of young players?

    I thought he did alright.

    I would prefer him to be wearing the captain's armband over O9. I think it might bring more out of him and the team.
