    Too slow and too ponderous today. For the first time in a while it was poor to watch. Some players need a rocket up their arse.

    He’s literally changed **** all, the only reason ba or adil have played is because Robert’s is out. He doesn’t make subs until it’s far to late and he’s playing jobe as a striker and he was in the cdm role more often then not leaving a ****ing gigantic hole in the pitch where one of our strikers should have been.

    I was fuming before the game seeing the team and it didn’t get much better during it. Really expected to see some changes by now but nothing at all it’s poor.

    Jobe, needs a month off, blowing out his arse after 60 mins every game.
    He is only 18.
    Needs more stamina and muscle build up.
    BUT, he is not his brother, so keep that in your mind.
    We also need to look at where we and why we give the ball away so much, especially when we try to play out from the back we just ain't good enough to do it.
    I HATE THIS SO CALLED MODEL.

    Not the case but he certainly needs a rest. Being on the bench is fine. Ridiculous how much he’s featured so far.

    I agree, too slow, too many misplaced passes.
    What is the point of making subs so late when you can see it isnt working?
    What is the point of bringing forwards on if you dont change your playing style to accommodate them ?
    What is the point of us even bothering defending dead balls?
    What is the point of Burstow?

    thing that pissed me off with the rusyn sub other then it being far to ****ing late is he took pitch off who is the best passer of the ball in the team. He changed nothing! And it’s very worrying that whenever we play a team that’s up the top half we do it without a striker wtf is that all about? It’s like saying we know yous are a good team so we won’t try and hurt you we will just pass it around a lot.

    This transfer period is critical to Beales survival.

    if we don’t get some key 1st team starters I’m not sure he will be able to be productive with this team.

    I can’t feasible write him on this early but warning signs are there.

    The morning after the night before and I'm struggling to find positives.

    Ba had a great game is one.

    We look slow, ponderous, have no out ball and the players don't look happy.

    The rest of the January window is huge for us now

    that’s not my job pal, but I’d have a striker playing and I’d give jobe a rest.

    we’ve changed head coach and he’s doing exactly the same **** the last one got sacked for.

    Yeah. That's the worst of the season that one. We have been poor under Beale. Hull was ok, patto made some incredible saves to get us the win mind

    Any of the 4 strikers brought in should have had a proper run out. Not a fatigued 18 year old CM.

    well I’ll go with the obvious one “rusyn”


    I take it you would do exactly the same then aye? Not bother with that part of the pitch at all?

    I agree but I think we’d still be moaning neither are good enough. Which is your preferred option?
