    Makes you wonder if someone else chose the team, etc.

    No striker didn’t help but we were far too casual all over the pitch.

    Disappointing of course. Seemed laboured. We have to now assume the strikers are not fancied by most who work with them on the grass all week. Seems sad.

    Im not normally one to demand an explaination from the club, but we need to know why all 4 strikers are not getting game time? If all 4 arent good enough yet then thats a major recruitment failure.

    If you listed all the players brought in, you'd be surprised at how many of these foreign wondekids have done the business.

    I'm not a Michael Beale appt. but Dodds has done no favours today. Clarke in the centre, really. Ba should be no where near first team. Then bring on Jobe instead of a recognised striker, ffs. I'm pleased he's not our new head couch. Yes he did well against decent opposition, but against poor opposition we struggle. I was against MB but after this I think maybe he'll be better. Why do we play slow across the back line? We've been crying out for pace but not just today we've passed across the back line constantly, which cost us today. If we have pace, which we do the use it and scare the opposition, like we did last year. Don't wait for them to get 11 players behind the ball. Atrocious coaching.

    That today is exactly why we needed a head coach with a quicker, slightly more direct style of play. Beale is not that. Slow, pedestrian football does not work in the championship and judging by all the available data and the opinions of fans of his previous clubs Beale plays slow, pedestrian football.

    **** today. No striker being on the field until 87th minute is an utter shambles. We paid good money for Rusyn to sign him from a team competing in Europe this season and he doesn't get a sniff over Bradley ****ing Dack. What was the point?

    It’s a piss poor excuse because it’s easier than blaming the midfield for not being able to play around a striker. Too many favourites that are trying to being squeezed into the Xl week in week out. Guarantee new manager comes in and plays a striker who starts scoring.
