That’s a very harsh assessment of Beale. Good result and performance at the weekend, entitled to pick the same team. Bringing TGH in and keeping three at the back (remember how bad we were with two centre backs and no Ajayi?) were good calls.

But tonight was bloody awful. We’ve coached all ability out of BTA, Livermore was on his “give me a red card” night. Both goals from Phillips’ side (not a right wing back, but do we want Furlong?).

Your last sentence is spot on though. The speed of decline in that team beggars belief. That’s why Palmer, TGH, Wallace, BTA look so good when they come in - what are they compared against?

Also, we need Pulis back in on a set piece only coaching duty. 13 tonight and not one header won
