Defended well against two good strikers for this level and better performance. However, still not good enough. We don't look like we carry any real goal threat and haven't had any periods of sustained pressure on the oppositions' goal in any of the games I've seen this season.

There are green shoots, but these need to be turned into wins very quickly if we are to get out this mess. We're a quarter of the way through the season already and it needs a significant turn around. In any other club, Beattie would be on borrowed time, however I think we simply won't be able to afford to sack him if the board ever get to that decision. He's not shown enough for me to date. Im not sure what his footballing philosophy is and we don't seem to have a consistent way of playing. We have some decent players who I don't think have a pattern of play.

In our current predicament I don't want our manager coming out after games and talking to the media the way he's currently doing. He's calm and measured and there is a place for that in the game, however, not here not now. I want to see someone who is bursting with passion, someone who is busting a gut, someone who you just know is going to get the players fired up, motivated and running through brick walls for him. He doesn't project being able to do that for me.

The tactics needs reviewing for me - we don't have enough efforts on goal and the coaching staff need to quickly work out how this is corrected.

We need to develop a nasty streak and all 11 on the pitch need to outwardly show a desire and will to win. We need to change things very quickly.
