    My take on that.
    Pritch has to be in the middle. Jobe isn’t terrible but we simply have to play Pritch in his best position. That said his dead balls were ****e. If I’m honest I think we need a 10 with a bigger goal threat.
    Jobe should have been pulled to get Ba on sooner and move Pritch BUT I can see why they kept him on instead of Ekwah who was slow and ****e
    One dimensional - everything goes left and that is why they can load up- they know where it’s going every time and pile up the numbers - and that’s because have no depth on the wings
    Pace - the speed we distribute the ball has no pace and urgency - at times all we did was run with the ball. It’s ponderous.
    Defensively I thought we were better than last week until the at dire goal
    Our goal threat. Despite everybody bleating on about it - I’ll say it again. Rusyn at this point is NOT the answer at 9. If our leadership don’t sort this problem they deserve all they get. Hemir’s physicality maybe brought something better but the options are shocking for an aspiring premier league side.
    Did we play well? No. Did Hull deserve to win? Did they ****. They won with two huge slices of luck when we were on top.
    Beale? I think we’re getting worse. Yes he needs players - left back , winger, striker all highlighted tonight - we had three central midfielders and all 3 were ****e tonight. So change it. We had nothing threatening the right, so ****ing change it. At this point he looks uninspiring. I’d ditch him for Rosenior in a nano second whose sharpness highlights the opposite.

    Look beyond it. We are a supposedly data driven club and our data is shocking.

    Hemir and Rusyn together is looking like a decent idea to me. Wouldn't disrupt the team much it'd just mean dropping Pritchard and who knows they might click together. They've got the right balance for a front two.

    The coach is paid to get results. I am looking beyond it, but I just can't understand why you think a good coach at another club would consider joining us if we've sacked a coach after 6 games.

    People on the outside are not fans, it would look completely knee jerk and ridiculous.

    DeBoer was out after about 5 games at Palace. I'm not one for sacking managers, but this bloke just doesn't seem like it's going to work

    Folk have lost their minds and we are living in the social media age and negativity spreads like wildfire. There is now a narrative about Beale and is getting a lot of traction. I don't particularly like the guy, but he's not solely to blame for some.poor results and performances. People want him out now and I find it.embarassing and a sad reflection on our fanbase tbh

    But where would Jobe play? There’s not a chance in hell he will be dropped which is a massive part of the issue.

    Think I might avoid the old inevitable Beale out, coaches are useless nonsense for a while. Anyone whined about subs yet?

    One idea would be to sack Beale and downgrade again. At some point ask yourselves a question - why would top end coaches come here. They wont, it is really simple. We have no appeal to coaches on the up due to our constant turnover.

    Over to the owners to provide better players. If tonight proved one thing is we need better players in tight games. Decision making was naieve and execution in tight spaces was poor.

    Good night folks, just think carefully about whether this squad is good enough, versus whether the coach is a duffer.

    Unfortunately we’re stuck with him, sack him this early and no decent manager would want to come in unfortunately

    Beale says we dominated the game but need to be better at taking our chances.

    Beale doesn’t think anyone will come in, that’s a pretty clear admission. Not where other clubs are also trying to strengthen at least.

    Beale also says we need the fans to get behind the team and not boo / chant against him
