Bad Robot 21,148 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Beerman I thought was superb again and wish he'd just taken the strike when he ran across most of the park. Bates unfortunately I don't think has it as he ponders too long on the ball and gives possession away especially when he's under no pressure. Yes two clean sheets and both contributed to this so thank you lads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4XGERSBF3 240 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Beerman looks a really good prospect. Bates lets the occasion get to him too much. impressed with both though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
West_Side 1,571 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I agree that Bates does seem to give possession away a lot and often dwells on the ball for too long, but I thought his defending was overall quite good today. Beerman looks like a quality prospect as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWTC 2,247 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Beerman showed his inexperience a couple of times getting caught out with long switched plays, other than that hes very good on the ball and competes well. Bates looks cumbersome, and id prone to an error, but he actually reads the game quite well and put in a few timely interceptions and tackles.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Also, just young guys too. I thought Bates looks cagey and hopefully with a few more games he can grow into it. Beerman looks a real prospect apart from getting caught out with a couple long balls in the second half. Id have them over Kiernan and Wallace btw but not if Wallace can discover his form.

Dado'sMulls 2,617 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Bates just needs to be a wee bit quicker on the ball, puts himself under pressure at times but I think he defends well. Pass marks. Beerman looks a real prospect. Would love to see him really push Wallace for a place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates has to work on his distribution,will be interesting to see how he gets on if he plays on a better surface at Ibrox as the pitches at Rugby park and Pittodrie were abysmal. Beerman has done well in his two games and can only get better with more games but no doubt Wallace will just walk back into the team when fit.

philiprfc 1,799 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Bates is a good defender, he's got the instincts for positioning and he's good in the air. He's really not great with the ball at his feet which is the big issue we're seeing with him. He's a rough talent, young and still learning. We need to give him the time to develop before we start saying he's not Rangers class. Beerman has looked impressive of the two probably because he's seen more of the ball and is more comfortable on it. Defended well against Killie and then today apart from a few wee incidents like getting caught under the ball when they switched it and having a shite touch at times, looked the part. What's really important for both of them is that they've contributed to a generally solid defensive effort the last two games. Hopefully see much more of them in the run in.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Beerman with hard work will be a top player. Bates when he only has time to react and with the ball played in high is a good defender, just please god don't give him a ball to his feet.

jbm26896 995 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 It's a big step up from U20's to first team level Bates looks decent defensively and just needs to move the ball quicker Beerman seems comfortable on the ball and really does not look out of place in our first team. Overall, good to see the manager showing faith in them today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutchy WATP 462 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 When wee Beerman strolled forward I thought he was in for a repeat of the goal he scored for the U20s. I was shouting for him to have a dig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Been impressed with Beerman these last couple of games,deserves to start on Saturday against Maryhill Thistle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewhitevanman 1,619 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I think that bates will be an exceptional player for us as he will grow into his role, he will have seen,heard how negative ppl have been about him and will be desperate to prove everyone wrong. Him and Wilson should be the centre pairing for the rest of the season. Beerman looks a good prospect already and I hope we can keep him in the team and watch him continue to develop for us.

graeme_4 34,461 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 If Beerman was in green and white hoops he'd be the next '£10m' man. He's a cracking wee player. Losing Wallace to injury for a period of time is a blessing, as I've felt he's struggled for a while but can't easily be dropped. i actually think Bates is a good 'defender'. Reads the game well, and covers good areas. He's also quite a big boy and does well in the air. Will need to learn that there's not the same time on the ball as he gets at U20, but though he was defensively very competent. Well done to Wilson today too - who had a big role in organising from the back. Hopefully he continues to step up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Beerman looks to be a Decent player Bates scares me I must Admit but two clean sheets say they have performed well enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if Wallace doesn't start another game this season and considering both of their respective current forms I'd say that would be fair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I can see Beerman going from strength to strength. If he could add some muscle to his game then we've got a great prospect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottyarf37 963 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Boys have stepped up well... In tough away games, where we have struggled all season. Beerman is a little lightweight and gets caught under the ball a fair bit, mostly due to his height. Bates has good positioning and is decent in the air. Slow on the ball at his feet and passing isn't his strong point. Good CDM will help, come take the ball off him and pass. 2 cleans sheets in their first two games at difficult away venues. Defence has only conceded 2 goals in 6 games...much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
