As I can see, you need to add energy into the aircraft... if in thr idle then adding 10kt doesn't achieve the aim, but if you are in speed mode it will give you a boot full of thrust which surly is what you want?
The SPEED SPEED SPEED warning activates just prior to alpha floor autothrust protection. If you don't increase thrust sharpish then the aircraft is going to do it for you! As a general rule when this warning activates it's time to hit TOGA and get out of there.
