    Worst ****ing game of football I've seen. He's taken us from a young, vibrant, attacking team to a bunch of sideways plodders who barely break out into a jog.

    7 games is enough.

    Beale Out and take your make Kristjen Brent with you

    OR when they play every minute despite it being blatantly obvious that they need a rest (Jobe)

    I'm all for giving managers time. If he had shown any sign of looking to improve us then I could accept a transitional season and some poor results, but this is horrific. We haven't played well in a single game . The team selection, the tactics and the substitutions are baffling at best and embarrassing at worst.

    Clearly his single plan is "get the ball to Clarke and hope for the best"

    Minging. KLD needs to step in here

    He won't. That's the end of it.

    Not sure it’s the worst I’ve seen, or even in the bottom 10! Parkinson was far worse.

    but I get your point. I disagree that 7 games is enough strictly speaking, but agree that, in those 7 games, there has been nothing endearing about the manager. As I said, 87 minutes of rubbish for 3 minutes of nice football (which there was last night) is ridiculous,.

    That said, I think this is exactly where we were going with Mowbray too.

    The Beale out brigade thing is pointless too I think. I just don’t see them sacking him so soon. It isn’t in the Birmingham Rooney debacle league, yet! It might get there, and sadly looks to be going that way (so all the ‘I told you so” will be all over it), but nit there yet.

    Hopefully he just clicks it in and we suddenly start playing football again.

    We will. I have zero confidence a win will be had unless Clarke turns in the burners. That's if he is still here.

    Last night might be my last game for a while. Driving home it felt like the Parkinson season
    Ultimately I'll let my lad choose - if he still wants to go, then we'll go. As soon as he gets fed up we'll give it a miss for a few

    I’m usually positive but that was dire in so many ways. I thought Beale should be given time but there’s not a glimpse that he can improve us. We’re going backwards. Still generally supportive of Speakman though. He just needs to hold his hands up, admit he screwed up with the appointment and rectify it. Who’s going to come in now though and if they weren’t willing to pay the Still Compo why would they pay Beale off and get someone better?

    He doesn't help himself by telling people we were "the dominant team" when we never looked like scoring at any point last night.
    I can take losing games if it's part of a bigger plan but he needs to shut the **** up immediately

    Reckon there’s any chance he gets binned this week? Looks to me like the players haven’t took to him

    I said it after Hull away ‘we won’t go up’, that was after a win.

    We were poor even when we won, only 45 v Preston I can think of when we have been half decent.

    45 out of 7 games is unquestionably a train wreck form wise.

    Will he be fit? Hasn’t featured in Stoke’s last couple of games. We know he’s got history for being injured quite a bit.

    Speakman and the owner signed off on him, like they both signed off on 4 strikers who couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.

    No. That would mean Speakman gets the P45 too. Won't happen.
