Injected a bit of fight and belief into the squad. Long way to go but I am happy with what I have seen so far. Everything would be different if he started the season fresh with his squad. The tarriers are too far now I can't see them dropping much points, next season should be interesting. I'm waiting to see two windows and a full season to see how good Beale can be for our club, long term. NorthernLights 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger 8,837 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 We're not playing well under Beale, but the difference is we're taking home 3pts. If Gio was still at the helm I think we'd be 15pts behind by now., under Beale I think we're unlucky not to be just 6pts behind (albeit he takes some flak for that bad luck with his subs). At the moment its all a bit silk purse and sows ear. Team needs to improve, but we need both fresh blood and to get existing players operating back to where they were. Given the state we were in, you really need to give Beale 12mths to see if it's working or not. plymouthranger, Ayrshire Blue, Cadman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be hard to implement all his ideas into the team because we will be mostly playing twice a week until the end of the season. I've not given up the title yet, with the way the scum play, they could tire towards the end of the season. If we could close the gap and put some pressure on them and they tire, you never known. Slim, but there could be a chance. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Note FC 8,825 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I had hoped that, whilst the league was gone, Beale could have matched or beaten them over the course of his time in charge this season. SeparateEntityMyArse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaka 1,721 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 With the league gone he really needed to show some forward planning and dropped the guys who won't be here next season. Unless he thinks they can still contribute next season in which case it's gone be another season of failure coming up. Leighton loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 18,770 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 He needs a pre season with his squad. However if he approaches next season with this style of all possession with no creativeness then we're fucked. I'm hanging onto the hope that we he's a good coach he sees that. We need an identity. We need to stop playing two midfielders sitting in the middle of the park doing fuck all. He should be using the remaining games to try something new otherwise the gig is up.

Bakbear 3,586 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Need to get this out and here is as good as anywhere. The state of the squad is fucking embarrassing. Players that don’t want to be here like Morelos, Kamara, Kent Players that can’t get or stay fit, the likes of Jack, Helander and Souttar Guys with a loser mentality like Lundstram, Goldson and Tav. Guys who have spine and ability but they are just finished like Arfield Davis and McGregor then just non-footballers like Sakala, Matondo, Davies and Wright. We have Raskin and Cantwell who I would keep going forward. And they only just got here. Beale would need to be the worlds greatest magician to sort that mess out not just the worlds greatest manager. falkirkNS and graeme_4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 54,296 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 He struggles to sense damger and react positively. They score a fluke, they were energised, that was the time to change (arguably could have done so at half time). But no change until they get the 2nd. Then he leaves Lundstram on who only ever slows our play down. Arfield ready for 20 mins to get on but deemed not necessary. Beale picked the right team imo but that's all he got right today.

SPWF 8,427 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Deserves a pre season with hopefully nearly a full new team, but his failure to win big games and poor in game management is a real worry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,972 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Players need to stand up and take the blame for that today. Our starting 11 was about as good as you could hope for given the players unavailable. First half we should be in front. But we don't take our chances. Second half they up the pressing game and pressed high, once again in this scenario we failed to handle the pressure of a team being in our faces.

Why would a player who is not going to be here next season exert any effort when there is a risk of injury and not getting their next contract?!
