Bellingham


I know I'm going to set fire to the board with this, but genuinely no idea what he's good at. He's scored a few goals granted, but he jogs seemingly half arsed when we're trying to regain possession, frequently when he gets the ball, stops, turns back and pass it sideways. Doesn't seem to drive forward, doesn't seem able to pick a defence splitting pass, doesn't seem to take anyone on. I've no idea what he's supposed to be. I do wonder if his brother wasn't who he is, would he be starting.

I'd rather give Adil or Rigg a run of games.
Wow
 
4 games in 10 days Is a lot, at a high intensity level, despite the usual 'but they are professional footballers, that's what they get paid to do!' crowd. They are young lads, and hopefully a few days between the next game will do them all a world of good.

Beale will have some more time with them in the training pitch, and hopefully they go into the match with the mags fully prepared, and rested.

He does seem to lack pace but he has a lot of good attributes. Once he develops physically and settles into one position, we’ll see what he’s all about.

He’s also done more than Aouchiche, who has been pretty ineffective when he’s started, despite being obviously talented.

He hasn’t looked as good recently than he did at the start of the season, but he’ll get there.

Would you play Roberts ahead of him on Saturday?
 
Seems to fade every single game . Started extremely well today, pressing and forcing Preston into mistakes. Was very tidy on the ball too

Just seemed a bit lost in the second half

That’ll probably be due to the amount of minutes he’s played and the reason i wouldnt start him on Saturday

Out of interest did you rate Henderson when he played for us?

Until he began his impression of Dougal off the Magic Roundabout... Collects the ball then goes around in a circle slowing the play down.
 
Personally don't see him as hugely effective.
By contrast, every time Pritchard comes on you see him influence the game in a plethora of ways.
Dan Neil also has an incredible forward pass on occasion that changes games
Unless I'm blind Jobe seems pragmatically useful but I don't see where his flair is.
