Although I don't believe now is the time to make changes, I think the OP has made some very valid points. For those defending Keates so vehemently, answer these:

Within our style of attacking play, what has given you hope that things will get better?

How can yesterday's team selection be explained? Two defensive midfielders (one of those a better full-back) at home against the side bottom of the league? And then those substitutions?

We've seen turgid attacking football all season, so why hasn't it been identified and rectified sooner? The signing of Reid might have helped, but our tactics certainly haven't.

Why are our tactics like they are currently? Surely there should be a balance between being defensively solid and being able to at least attack and create some decent chances?

Why do we struggle to string 5 passes together? Why is it so difficult for us to keep possession, show good first touch, pass with some tempo and stretch teams' defence? This isn't asking much because other teams in this league manage it, so why not us?

Why does every attacking set-piece predictably end up being so non-threatning?

How long do we go with the line "We're gelling & haven't clicked yet"?

If people are convinced we'll start playing excellent attacking play, create chances and give teams a beating what evidence thus far has even remotely suggested this?

Plenty of questions, and seemingly a hell of a lot of work to do. Is our current management team capable?
