    He hasn’t failed yet, I just expected to see something different. As fans we are allowed to question tactics and substitutions.

    I’ll always get behind the team no matter what as most of us will.

    Which was a shame as I think he would flourish here in a 3

    You made a comment that he was sacked because he had an opinion that was the same as the fans, nothing I've heard him say as to why he left were anything I really agreed with, which was why I was asking.
    They way I saw it was when things were going right the recruitment and club set up were great, when he'd ran out of ideas it wasn't his fault it was the recruitment's fault

    I don't see him banging them in for fun but I think when he gets a chance he'll at least put a shot in and work the keeper. I think he's got the brain to instinctively know what to do and good technique to go with it.

    Ideally he'd play alongside or close to someone who can play him in, he'd thrive off it. Stick him up on his own and he'll still be useful imo. I feel like he's shown that already in the few chances he's been given.

    It was a shame for both parties as I don't think he's done much since he left

    He currently playing for a team in the top 5 of the Turkish league. Criminal waste of a talent

    TM was consistent in saying we needed an experienced cf and dm.

    We havent got them

    TM was criticised for not having a plan b

    We haven't got one

    No doubt Dack will get thrown around defending why we shouldn't listen to TM, but he wasn't far wrong was he?

    I'd love him to prove me wrong.

    Experience suggests that it's really unlikely though. We've been here umpteen times. Let's grit our teeth and call it while there's still a chance to rescue the season.

    Recovering from a poor decision is all about recognising it's a poor decision as early as possible and rectifying it.

    Ive had a few drinks mate and really cant be arsed showing evidence look yourself.

    He commented about not having a say in recruitment for us. He spoke out about having no experience and was sacked. Gams over

    Aye premature to say he's failed already because he's barely got started but criticisms are to be expected. I don't want to go on about it but you can win or lose a game on substitutions, we did nothing with ours and they made good ones at the right time which put us under the cosh.

    The bloke needs time though. We haven't been bad at all under him. Hopefully we sign some quality in this window to push us on.

    Let's face it, I get we want to be positive and ignore the voices from QPR/Rangers...same as we wanted to believe the piss take party was truly over when SD/SM came in.
    We've got a disaster appointment here and I hope KLD wises up by summer. Totally believe in the approach/model but also believe there are other alternatives to implement it. Speakman is very replaceable and Beale is not up to leading this club, regardless of his coaching ability.
    Hope the change is sooner before it drives too many away and kills all optimism.

    It's just an opinion, based on information I have available. Don't get too upset by it

    I still find it embarrassing and also a reality check that a team from league 1 less than a year ago have now got the double over us with players that are better than ours obviously but probably get 25k fans a game on a good day??

    So can anybody tell me now why our club is so badly run, issues with tickets etc, Black cats bar last week etc, no recognised striker starting a game and still convince me im wrong to have an opinion

    I just asked you a straightforward question fella, I'm not upset. Why not share the information you have available, don't be selfish.
