So so poor the need for a striker never been as glaring as tonight. Adil has touched the ball around 6-7 times all half.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Same as the majority of the season. No focal point, sloppy with our passing and just happy to play backwards to often.

Can see these getting one off a set play and then us not being able to break them down.

You can see it a mile off

 

[David Brent]

Reports are that Burstow coming on.

 

[SafcForever1879]

Lets go schoolboy tactics

Just give the ball to jack clarke

Been doing that all season

 

[thedistingusished]

Conceded the most goals in the championship these and we don't look like we're gonna score like

 

[Rocky77]

That was prior to his appointment. We were wrong. By quite a distance.

This style of play is Beale. This is what you get.

Side to side, slow everything down. He hasn't changed.

You were wrong. It was fkn great seeing the penny dropping.

 

[Morse]

Here man, will he put a striker on. We were crying out for it against Hull and only got the result through Clarke yet again.

We’re attempting passes through the middle but playing without the position whose job it is to run onto said passes? Zero sense man

I've said this before - if Beale put two strikers on and we lost, I think a lot of us would be philosophical about it. It's not his fault if they're not up to it.
I just don't get how none of our strikers can be up to playing a - let's face it - league 1 team.

It's shambolic, and if Speakman doesn't fix this in January, he'll go down as one of the most inept people we've ever had in a senior position at SAFC.

 

[Shandy drinker]

Has Beale printed his style on the team yet??

 

[Veteran2]

Well, that was a very poor showing chaps.

 

[PS]

Right, Beale. This is utter chod. Can you make smart changes?

 

[Boo]

I would like to see Pritch come on, so we can gain some control. Maybe Rusyn too? But that would have to be for Aouchiche.

 

[wrighty]

Firstly - we didn’t.

Secondly - who gives a fuck about what we played like under Dodds.

I’m worried about how we are going to play and approach games for the rest of a long season, and this style of football is turgid and won’t see us into the playoffs.

Looks like we are trying to play people in but final ball been awful and as usual movement up front severely lacking. Lots of poor touches- seelt and Adil and Jobe: surprising.

 

[Doberman]

Has any manager in the history of football ever implemented their style of play onto a football team in the space of three games?

Seems like there's so many desperate to write Beale off on here man, give it a rest.

I've watched this shite all season mate.

This is Beale.

 

[G Force]

I loved watching us last year, win or lose we played nice football.

We're dour as feck this season. Slow, ponderous, little movement or creative forward passes.

Just have to hope Beale will throw the shackles off at some point

 

[Frasmotic]

If the half time music doesn't motivate us nothing will

 

[McGregor]

Fuck me man any striker that isn't Burstow

 

[Durham lad]

Jobe off and Pritchard on !

From what I’ve read.. seems he’s already doing it lol

 

[McMackem]

I was last at Rotherham 30 years ago - Millmoor, must be so many clubs now that I've 'never' been to.

 

[Morse]

OMG, a striker????
