    I’ve gave myself time to contemplate, I think I’m normally pretty level headed but I’m deflated tonight. I won’t give up on the play offs just yet but it’s looking like a long shot, will a manger change make much difference for a playoff push or are the players just not good enough?
    We lost a lot of quality and replaced it with youth & promise, that is something for the powers that be to contemplate when they debrief at the season end. At the end of last season I thought we were 3 or 4 quality players away from automatic promotion and I firmly believe we would have done it if we invested in experience. It’s not going to happen though until we probably sell a few players to bring that kind of money in. The last few months have unfolded our season, it’s pretty sad that we won’t see this squads promise fulfilled because it’s inevitable that we will lose a few this summer. I do think some of the promising players just aren’t good enough and need moving on this summer. Anyway try and enjoy your Saturday night lads

    For those that are still defending this, have a look otr. Posters that have long sat on the fence are up in arms

    I'm clutching straws here, but could Beale have interpreted Hume with his arm out like that several steps before he was near him as some kind of sarcastic gesture from a player not happy with what's happening?
    I'm clutching as I say :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    Either way not good

    Of course he would be bothered if he thought the manager was deliberately snubbing him !! I bet hes not bothered now, what ever happened will of been sorted in the dressing room

    No need for OTR. Just actual balanced and logical view points man. It's not nice to be negative but those who refuse to accept the absolute cold hard facts, are more dangerous. It's all there too see, full videos and screen shots.

    The player is clearly furious. Even if folk said it was an accident then it's poor management. It's not , it's intentional and it's predictable.

    He definitely blanked him.

    Shambolic that. Trai does well to not react fully.

    Public snubbing, sorted in private. Maybe but it's wrong and not a good look

    What's private about a public cold shoulder. It's all over the internet. I guaranteed that it will be the talk of the players when they meet away from the club

    If he's taken him off because he's not happy with him, why would he acknowledge him? Next people will be saying the manager/head coach shouldn't shout at the players.

    It's only a public snubbing if he has deliberately done it, there are many things to be upset about with Beale, this isn't really 1 of them.

    Lord !! Fan getting outraged even though the manager has said he didn't see him. I'm more worried about our last 2 performances than did he see him or didn't he see him.

    But he hasn't done that and said so in post match conferences. Quite the opposite.

    You see, liars get mixed up. I'll leave you to go and listen to it. It's there.

    If Mowbray had done it, people would have just laughed and gone "he can't be happy with him" and forgotten about it.

    The big brush is out.

    Not like we have won 1 in 12 away. Falling down the table, fans furious, not players getting subbed looking furious.

    Doing a great job Beale.
