Beattie's Influence On Strikers


Recommended Posts

Right, looking forward to Beattie working his magic next season. Iorfa 24 goals in 44 games as our bustling, non-nonsense centre forward, and Van Aken behind him in the number 10 role scoring 14 in 36 with that sweet left foot. Jordan Rhodes as trusty back-up on the bench keeping his thumbs warm.

Should have had Hirsty showing them how, now he was a top top striker


He is and will probably always will be my favourite player. However, good players do not automatically make good coaches, in most cases, the opposite. Because they ‘had it’ and lesser players don’t, they often struggle to communicate and very quickly get frustrated and impatient.

Given the OP, I would like to think this would be a huge positive now in attracting young striking talent to the club. UTO.

It's a good point, certainly a consideration for players and clubs for that matter loaning out players. The work he did with Wood and Adams won't go unnoticed, plus a good player in his day.

 

Its astonishing really, that we've not had a specialist coach (like we do for GK) for such a crucial area of the team.

He might help, he might not - I'm sure there are dozens of strikers who have worked with him, who haven't ended up wit the Golden Boot as well.

Aplication, work ethic and a hunger to learn and improve. If a player isn't interested or bothered you can have the greatest coach in the world, but they won't learn. 

Hopefully signing Beattie means we're looking at signing a couple of young /raw strikers we can improve. 

Failing that premier league clubs will be hopefully more likely to loan us a starlet if they know they're joining a team with a good coaching set up.

I think the last time was when we were broke and didn't hirsty help out as a part time strikers coach.

I remember him offering, can't recall if the club took him up on his offer. 

 

I've lost count of the number of games where we've not looked like scoring, or after conceding first know there is no chance of us scoring more than one, so some coaching up front long overdue.

No one is more qualified to make that point than you 😀
