    How Jobe gets ahead of Rigg in the starting 11 is criminal. He's offered more in that 30 minute spell than Jobe has in the past 4 games

    This.

    What we are trying to do is right. The ambition is right. The execution is awful.

    Boy would I love a 10 minute chat with Speakman to find out what’s going on in that head.

    I meant overplaying him at a young age. It's not doing Jobe any good and it won't do him any good.

    Obviously but weve spent feck all to show ambition to get out this league. Look at our squad ffs, none of us had even heard of our new signings a year ago and this is a team that was close to promotion last year. Weve gone backwards from penny pinching and lack of ambition

    this is the frustration like. Both of them had the perfect opportunity to play 50% of games each. Both would have progressed nicely with great exposure. Instead we’ve gone 100% to the one our coaches and Speakman are mates with and ignored our own homegrown talent

    It'd help if we picked our best players with an attacking setup and didn't do weird **** like playing Styles on the right wing. Dodds has some odd ideas.

    He does. The balance is wrong. Jobe needs to start less and he needs to start more.

    I said we would finish 14th after the window we had and the appointment of Beale. I reckon I'll be canny bang on.

    We can not keep trying to sign wonder kids and progress. Just utopia that man.

    Agree. Because someone thinks he is better than he is.

    That's fine, as long as you realise you're not a spokesman for the entire support.

    Of course not. But it's clear now that some who laughed at the concerns previously are now of the same opinion.
