    Only positive I could find as well. Made me wonder how him and Rusyn would do together. If not then he looked like he might be more effective as a lone striker.

    That was horrible to watch.
    If we seemed to have a plan but were just not executing it then fine lets get behind it
    But I seriously have no idea what Beale was trying to do tonight. Team set up, tactics, all just wrong
    We have gone in a couple of months from being one of the most entertaining sides in the league to just Slow deliberate and dull.
    Very raw at the minute but feeling very low. No idea where we go from here

    Beale has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he’s gonna be a good gaffer for us, but to suggest we fire him this soon is just ridiculous.

    The imbalance in the squad is so painfully obvious that any eyes need to go directly to the head of recruitment or whatever the **** he calls himself.

    I’ve backed him from the start but if we don’t do something this window it’s 100% on one man, Senor Speakman.

    It’s as clear as a horse **** in the snow that we are missin enough parts to stop a dinghy floating.

    I just don't like seeing people given **** to be honest. I doubt he wants us to be crap, he's supposed to be on our side.

    I don't agree with everything, or even a lot of his decisions. Just don't like the negativity.

    Yes, yes. But just because someone has a different accent doesn't mean that they don't feel a connection to those things too.

    He’s not wrong sadly though they were also ****e. But that clinical strike would have knocked a fan out if it hadn’t jammed it’s way in.

    Mate, that's absolutely ludicrous. You're welcome to think that, and if it gives you some comfort and identity, keep thinking it...but the idea that being working class and involved in industry is the exclusive property of those with northern accents is absurd.

    I work in child protection and I can assure you there is plenty of deprivation in southern england and also a load of salt of the earth working class types too.

    It's still different. There are working class factory workers in Moscow, it's not just being working class that's simply an element. It's the North, being from here, the places the people the history, being raised drenched in it, breathing it in daily.

    Decent hit granted but without the massive deflection I don't think it goes in

    So you're making generalisations.

    Yes. You're using exceptions.

    Clear as day it’s not gonna work. Will the club admit they made a mistake?

    I agree with you and I'm usually one of the bunch who can be relied on to be positive no matter what but watching that tonight was grim.

    and that was after the manager said he’s not fit enough and will probably go out on loan! Then he sticks him on too late and swaps him for the striker we had on like for like.

    Still doesn't mean that there aren't people who don't have NE accents who feel a strong connection to the NE. There are also plenty of people born and raised in the NE who don't have local accents. To suggest that people need to have a shared accent in order to feel a connection to one another suggests a lack of real world experience.
