Ted E Bayer 541 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Can we absolutely rule out Wright and Matondo coming good under Beale. Probably being quite naïve here but.... are they both really just that poor that Beale cannot get a tune out of them at all. Surely working with them daily on decision making, close control, passing and footballing awareness such a positioning could mean one, if not both could possibly turn good for us? Or is it really a case that you cannot polish a turd or in this case a couple of turds and they will forever just not be good enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 75,773 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 You cant turn utter shite into footballers. The only reason they have been used is because guys like Hagi and Lawrence are crocked. Matondo is probably been forced upon him to try and get a tune out of given we spent a fortune on him on wages and the fee but that's never working out. He needs his own players brought in because the ones we have are not winning anything. falkirkNS, bornabear, Bluekev and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 45,320 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I think theres only 3 or 4 players in the current squad this management team can make better. The rest are either decent enough at their peak to be part of the squad or completely shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gut is quite noticable. I know he is of a particular shape as Beale pointed out a few days ago but he shouldn't be carrying that Dad bod at his age when getting paid thousands as a professional athlete imo. ianferguson and theblueoysterbar 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Maestro 13,977 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I think it’s more we don’t have enough really good players. We get 3 first team players in the door and guys like Wright look better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted E Bayer 541 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 I think both Wright and Matondo have footballing ability, but the main thing for me is decision-making. Keep the ball, make the easy pass in Wrights case, and choose the right moment to hit the by-line. Matondo likewise. There are moments you try to take on the shot and there are moments to feed in a teammate. He's taken the wrong option twice recently and cost us a certain goal. If both worked on their decision-making they and we'd be in a better place. Bit you could argue, even Kent at times dribbles too much and at the wrong moments which leads to oppositions countering when the simply pass was on. Or if Tillman fakes a shot when Carter Vicors slides in to block, he could have knocked it in nae bother with the other foot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,526 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Wright has proved time and time again how average he is, his time is up. Unfortunately we’re stuck with Matondo for a while yet. Let’s hope MB can do something with him. real boydie9 and Bad Robot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,894 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 He can't work magic with some of the players he's got. Wright isn't good enough. Matondo alone should be enough to sack Ross Wilson. The transfers that guy has overseen is criminal. Beale might be told to try with him but it won't work. falkirkNS, covbear and graeme_4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted away the thing to do was work hard, get his form back and attract attention.

geronimoo 1,570 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I always cut Wright some slack as he came cheap from Aberdeen and in all honesty nobody ever believed he was going to be some player, he is a squad player who will spend his time on the bench or get a game if someone is injured and he will merely be filling in for a little. scottyscott1963 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theclothmonster 1,893 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The problem with Wright is his attitude, can count on one hand the amount of times he's had an impact on games, cup final comes to mind but hard pressed to name others off the top my head. It doesn't matter if he starts or comes on as a sub against tired legs, he just disappears, you don't notice he's even playing. theredhandofNewcastle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
