I was absolutely fuming when I saw Beale's selection for the Reading game at the weekend. So angry that he selected the same dross that Bruce selected for the Luton debacle that I didn't even watch.

I was gobsmacked when that side managed to win and "play well"...

Tonight with a renewed hope, I decided to watch again and all I'm going to say is Reading must be dreadful to let this XI beat them...

This performance is exactly what I expected at the weekend when I saw our side. 3 at the back so we never get any bodies forward. Square pegs in round holes everywhere. 2 left backs on the pitch together. Phillips at right back when he's been an attacker his whole career. Wallace who is an out and out winger playing inside again. Asante who is never a forward leading the line.

To be fair to Beale, it's not his fault with Asante because we haven't got a forward at the club, but he has no excuse for the others...

It boggles my mind when a nobody like Beale gets the chance to take control of a first team game, but rather than doing something new to make a name for himself, just selects the same garbage formation as the manager who got sacked. Does this numpty not realise that Bruce got sacked for a reason?

I just find it mind blowing that we are paying such high wages for Swift and Rogic and they're being kept out by Phillips...

Just get back to basics ASAP. 4 at the back. 2 sitters. 2 wingers. 1 in the hole so we can play through the centre. Either Townsend of Pieters, not both. Either Rogic or Swift in the hole. What is so difficult about it? As for the forward situation, I'd honestly play Bartley there. What's the point in Wallace keep crossing when we don't have a player in the opposition half who can head the ball.

There are so many pretenders on the footballing gravy train, and unfortunately our club is full of them.
