    It's called evolution. Why would beale come in and make major changes for the hell of it. He's looking at things objectively and being considered. That's the whole point of the dof model. The club isn't susceptible to massive swings. We are ticking along, four points in his three games. Could have been better, could have been worse. I'm genuinely not sure what you expected him to do.

    Now now. It's not that. It's that good quality players are getting less minutes because they are older. Thats it. If you're bought with big upside in market value, youll get more minutes. For me, I prefer the actual talent.

    I doubt it's the same person on Prehabs post compared to the pic I posted <laugh>. The top left on mine is Dida the Brazilian keeper.

    I know. I said well before on here. Nice lad but wouldn't do well with the pressure.

    Nah I’m away for the night mate.. as discussed before player ratings can be hitty miss but both FotMob and whoscored have 8 of our players rated higher than him though meaning he was one of our worst performers in their eyes so curious to know how much he done to warrant MOTM?

    Said it before but virtually the same Xl who lost games against bottom teams what do we expect? Change things up and see what happens. Too many comfortable players in that Xl imo.

    I think there’s truth in this but they have a longer term plan and frustrating as it can be on nights like tonight we fans may all win from it. No point in overreacting to an away point in a week when there is no coaching and heavy legs.

    Hard to make decisions without time or knowledge of squad. We are.doing okay under dodds so why not stick with it. We might see gradual changes in coming games.

    Nah it's gooch. Another experienced player booted out who is now captain of another championship team and doing well. But an honest lad who still says it as it is. No axe to grind nowt.

    The bottom three have all pulled off great results tonight, it happens at this time of year ...

    ... Beale is trying out different players exactly as Neil and Mowbray did when they came in.

    I'm getting sick of this continual search for the smoking gun with Speakman's fingerprints.

    Perhaps he is running the entire club ...

    ... so what, if the club want it that way, that's the way it is.

    All the campaigning on here is just pissing in the wind.

    Look im not a massive fan of Beale, which being based in Scotland is hard to be a fan of his after seeing how his rangers team played n how he struggled to change a game with his subs or tactics.

    However, he needs time to show whether he is the right man or not. This is the worst time to come in as a manager as you pretty muvh have zero time on the training pitch. What i hope beale does is learn from each game and tweak things as he goes along. I hated the starting line up today, needed to freshen things up, but i can kinda get it. We won the last match n he probably wanted to reward them with another start. I dont think burstow was a great sub but at least he brought a forward on at HT, at least tried to change it

    Im trying to stay positive and hope that he is the right coach that can kick us on, time will tell i suppose

    He still has my support as he hasnt even had a chance to show us what he is about

    Sunderland lost 5 home games, Rotherham lost 4 home games. a draw isnt a disaster.

    Beale has also been under huge pressure because of the anti club online revolutionary force which helps no ****er.

    That’s the wisest thing you’ve said tonight mate. Have a bag of crisps and a deep breath.

    How soon should a Head coach make an impact?

    Mowbray got 9 points from his first 7 games.
