JRodgA2k8 542 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 He's not fit it's that simple, I feel sorry for him as unfortunately this is the first impression he's giving, talented player when fit. What I will say about Beattie is in terms of winning headers and knockdowns, he's damn good at that and we have seen signs of this.On the ball and when hassled by opponents he can hold them off and keep his compusure which he done a few times even yesterday. Defensively he will also be great for us as well as attack.Willing to give him time but now he has some competition :jelavic: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWhiteBlue1872 407 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Given game time and a wee goal he will come good and be an important player for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderbear 150 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Still to early to judge. He looks about a stone overweight, he needs running into the ground at training. I'll be reserving judgement for afew games until he is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 He'll be back up to Miller/Jela anyways.Velicka will be punted surely and Lafferty will have to fight it out for winger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,730 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Fuck sakes.The guy is five or six games behind the rest of the team in terms of fitness and match practice and people are already on his back.Unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper1989 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Will give the lad time. But he and Niko will be fighting it out to start. (Which is a good thing).Miller -- at the moment -- cannot be dropped.I feel that if Niko's transfer had gone thru when it should have, James would not be here. Glad he is though... a few months from now, I suspect James B. will be a firm favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SandyIniesta-Nordahl Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 He also looks as if he's carrying a bit of weight, which is shocking for a professional footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark. 69 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I like him, big and strong, good link up play, amazing in the air. Sure, he's not the quickest, but he's a hell of a lot faster than Boyd was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper1989 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Who the fuck is Boyd? Oh.. wait a second.. that fucking self-serving bastard that lied to us? That Boyd?lol James Beattie is 100 times the player that Boyd will ever be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laldo 4 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 i think he will need a couple more games to get into the swing of things..to be fair he hasnt really had the service in my opinionhopefully get the best out of him in a few more weeks but i think jelavic will start from now on with kenny.

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,676 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Never been as bad as hes being made out. Had a cracking game against Hibs and wasn't the greatest yesterday out of a team that wasn't too great.A suppose am just burying ma head in the sand though . Maybe someone will start a thread saying hes actualy a Centre half and no a centre forward and old Walter is playing him out of position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_no1fan 13 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 He looked fitter, but he still has a long way to go.We should maybe look at arranging a friendly match during the international break and giving him a full 90 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW-WATP 112 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Doesn't deserve the stick already,when hes 15 games in,0 goals and still breathing out his arse after 15 minutes then maybe he should get pelters.Untill then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleteduser1 169 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Early days and the player isn't fully match fit yet. Give him a chance to settle in and adjust to our style of play and get used to his new team mates and surroundings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DivDee 49 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 He's doing everything bar score, i'm happy with that aslong as Kenny of Jela stick them in. I think as soon as he scores his first he'll be banging them in regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
