XG is flawed as you could miss a pen and keeper saves rebound and would rocket your XG.

its a bit of a guide of course but its not a tell all.

Agree but more attacks, dangerous attacks, shots on target, shots off target, more concerns.

I mean, that's pretty much unequivocal.

Here's some straight talking then. **** off with your negativity.

He’s just proven a point using facts though mate you can’t just argue that you’re right because you said so. Far too many times this season people look to avoid saying we could improve. It’s a deflection there’s nothing we could do, it’s a set piece it could happen to anyone, we were robbed because we had more possession and shots.

IMO I think we have a good squad but it’s clear we lack experience and we’re still using square pegs in round holes. Why is a midfielder playing CB when we’ve spent money on numerous? Why do we have so many central midfielders yet none who can play as a DM? Why are we playing a 6’3 CM as a 9?

Surely first and foremost you get the basics right and we don’t do that a lot of the time.

Correct mate. It’s the same with Ba though. I know I’m banging a drum but what kind of confidence does a young lad take from being dropped when he plays well, vilified if he makes a mistake and the receiving little to no praise when he’s doing well and gets subbed first.

Rusyn looked good against Preston was a real handful done everything right and got his goal then gets dropped for someone who’s in no way shape or form a striker. It has to be demoralising.

I honestly dont know how so called professional coaches cant see this when we can on a forum.
As people have mentioned already Bellingham seems to have it in his contract he HAS to play which again is demoralising from our recruitment to be dictated from an 18 year old with a famous name, but a good sell on value so yeah lets seal the deal.

I really dont know the team i support anymore right now
 
I keep thinking to myself am I overrating this squad. Is this just our level. But I honestly believe from what I’ve seen in the last 18 months we are way better than what we’ve been showing. I think a high quality manager gets this team promoted. TM did a great job but wouldn’t say he has some fantastic CV yet he got us to 6th, unfortunately beales CV is significantly worse than mowbrays and has no evidence to suggest he can get us up. Bizzare risk from the club at a time I thought we’d be a huge pull for a lot of managers.

There is no way we get promoted without a scoring number 9, a CDM and a proper CB next to Ballard.

Spine of the team. Massive.

I am not their manager or facing sky cameras mate. He is the man. Their manager. He needs to do better. This is a forum , not for comparison.

So let’s just say he says ‘Adil did well’ or ‘it was a great goal from Ipswich’ or ‘I shouldn’t have brought Adil on’. You’d be saying he was full of ****e or out of order. I happen to agree that we were defensively poor and he made bad substitutions and that’s on him - we weren’t good enough tonight but you’re being eaten up by a hateful bias against someone who might well be a canny lad. I’m worried about our defending but it’s one game and it was fine margins. If we have Stewart or a Phillips we’d score 3 tonight. It’s not all on him.

I think it's mostly on him.

He has been here 5 games.
We have 4 of the seasons worst attacking xG whilst he has been here.
On the eyes, we are slow, and prone to conceding goals.

It can do but when you add everything else in my post it doesn't. One team was far far more dangerous.

wouldn't disagree with that. We weren't that far off though, better defending and we win that tonight

We've been prone to conceding goals all season. That's nothing new
 
I thought we played pretty well today and could easily have got a result away against a very good side, especially in attack. On that basis I'm not getting carried away with thinking Beale clearly isn't up to it.

Subs were **** and the insistence on keeping Jobe on the pitch regardless of circumstance is pretty odd. Hardly the first manager we've had who I disagree with the subs they make though, it's very rare to have someone I regularly agree with on that score.

Rusyn should be starting every game, not saying he's Shevchenko but he works hard and looks a threat, stick with him.

Most of that is what I'd consider minor complaints.

Mate your last post was we don’t have the right spine of players. I mostly agree. This post says it’s mostly on him. It can’t be both, Which is it?
