Beesley confirmed

Asked a work colleague who has a ST at Rochdale about him. This is his review, and bear in mind that nothing impresses this bloke, the biggest curmudgeon you will ever meet 😂

‘Come on leaps and bounds in the last 18 months. Great team player, brilliant work rate and started to add goals now. If you are patient with him and don’t expect too much too soon, he will only get better’.
 
Dale supporting mate says, 'Grafter links up play well should score more good in the air. Better with someone up top with him'

Looks a decent player

However he's a player who's good in the air and thrives on crosses

We don't get balls into the box so we either play wingers on their correct foot or or or .................

Don't forget the full backs quite often cross the ball and they do play on their natural side.
The wingers can still cut inside and cross with their natural foot as well.
Are you against lefties taking corners on the right and vica versa or do you favour out-swinging corners? (Not having a dig at you with that question btw).
What does of course need to improve is the quality of the delivery in all situations.
 
I know nothing at all about Jake, so welcome and good luck.

Some good headers and goal poaching which, when you think of the amount of scrambles we've failed to capitalise on recently can only be a good thing. Liked the way he made the space in one of the early ones, was it Scunthorpe?

Our set piece delivery has generally been dog shit since Kaikai left

For what it's worth i believe an inswinging corner is far better than an out swinger as its simply closer to the goal thus easier to score from ...

I think you mean the Burnley goal? At Turf Moor.
 
Welcome Jake now we will have someone to work with Jake /Shane and Gazza /Jezza or perm any two brilliant ,now we just need Brannigan and get rid of some dead wood.
 
Well.... There's Danny Drinwater and then there's Jake Drinkofwater!! 11stone! Shhesh! It's windy in Blackpool, he'll be seen disappearing off over the stands if there's a gust!! 🌬️
 
Maybe we should get our low goal scoring wingers to play on their strongest sides when it comes to crossing as he looks like he can score off a half decent cross.
Bowler on the left and in the absence of Anderson, Dale on the right, Yates and Beesley in the middle. Bypass midfield as we only have Kenny Dougall.
Hit the corners of the pitch and play an old school 4 2 4. Not very progressive but look at the state of our squad right now!

Gary Madine is under 12 stone so I don’t really understand this argument.

It was aimed at another old time poster Leeds, following some posts yesterday, plus the original post of this thread was the someone off here would make a negative comment by 5pm (check the time of my post). So all tongue in cheek.

In reality, I welcome him and hope he becomes a fans favourite and grasped this opportunity and repay the faith Critch has in hm. Lets hope he sticks plenty into the back of the onion net too.

Now lets get a couple of central midfielders!
 
Having seen the interview and video of his goals I have to say he looks a real asset for us and he's a different type of
player. The powers that be will be feeling confident he can produce. Watch some of his goals they are quality finishes.
All the best Jake.

Still find that hard to believe for a 6 foot 3 strong lad.

Not sure the internet is always accurate for weight for less well known players compared to prem ones.

Look at Kane for eg. He's 6 foot 2 and...


"The FA confirmed to the Daily Mail that there was no way that Kane could have tipped the scales at 98 kgs because when he was last weighed at St George's Park, he came in at a trim 89kg (14 stone), which would suggest that whoever was entering the data had made a simple typing error by hitting the 9 key before the 8, rather than after."


A trim 14 stone for a 6 foot 2 guy.

Madine would have to be really skinny to be under 12 with his frame.

I presume @hertfordseasider would find this interesting.... would probably suggest the weights aren't accurate for our lot.

I do, I think the players like to think they're lighter than they are, same as actors always take yeas off their age, I mean if I had a Wiki page I'd be 55 and weigh 13 stone!!
