    Disagree - far less effort, cohesion and enthusiasm under Beale.
    This isn't going to work it's so clear it's incredible. Oh and I thought mowbrays time was up but this is a huge downgrade imo.

    It was exactly the same at start of the season and parts of last year.

    We bossed large parts of that game. We are also missing Roberts, Huggins and both LBs hence the lack of balance at present.

    His problem is shoehorning Pritchard into the team when he's neither a winger or a 10. Totally makes unbalanced but the fans want him in.

    I don't think he will last very long given the climate when he signed/people already booing after matches.

    He's never been given a fair crack from the off.

    Bosses large parts? Did you enjoy that game and think at any point we’d score? Because I didn’t. And Pritchard was the only player that loooked the part imo.

    Agreed. Hoping I'm wrong and the team can string together the performances he needs to actually be given a chance to succeed but I think it's a struggle.

    He never got that blank slate, it was doom and gloom from the start.

    Pritchard scored one of those great chances and it's likely to be a different game. His delivery into the box was awful. He totally overplayed that great chance for Neil at the back post. Playing him/Bellingham cost us a threat down the right.

    Can't blame the manager for us not scoring when the fans golden boy is missing those sorts of chances.

    Wow so Pritchard is the reason we play players out of position all the time? He’s only been getting a game the last few wks. Is he the reason jobe plays every minute of every game even tho he’s bang out of form? Is he the reason the maneger won’t change **** all? Is he the reason we can’t get strikers on the pitch? You sound a bit like Beale tbh digging players out for missing a chance that he created himself.

    You asked if I thought if we'd score at any point Pritchard had two great chances and fluffed them

    I mentioned him and Bellingham making the team unbalanced.

    I thought Hemir did alright, yet he's another player the fans have written off after a few appearances off the bench.

    I hope that’s not true because atm he’s the only shining light in the team. The lad looks as fit as he’s ever been while here too

    I think you’re mixing me with someone else mate I don’t think I asked you anything. I think pritch was the best player for us today and I think jobe shouldn’t have even started. Kid needs a break.

    Pritchard is not our only hope. Hes a good player when on it but thats it

    The 3 big players for us, who will all be away by start of nxt season imo are ballard , clarke n neil. Currently the 3 brightest players in our rank (Rigg has huge potential ao could surpass them,)

    Yeah doesnt make sense at all

    Its likely they dont want to give pritchard a contract due not seeing him part of the future. Not saying i agree with that before i get shot down, just thats what a few folk itk have said previously

    My error but the points still stand.

    Clarke and Neil were way more effective than Pritchard.

    Seelts was MOTM having to occupy the full right side on his own.
