Dear Mr Appleton,

Please take note that Jerry Yates is a striker.

Jerry Yates is by far and away the best striker at the club. He is not a wing back or wide man, he is a striker.

If you were to play him as a striker you may have won a few of the previous 9 league games.

Jerry should be the first name on the team sheet every game as the main striker.

Beesley is not a Championship player. He is league 2 at best.

Kind regards

Ted
 
Suspect with someone in Poveda who can feed him, and us having actual wingers to pick from now, we'll see him more central.

He can't play with his back to goal though so we need movement around him.

Sorry Ted I can't support you here. If you're making a point about Jerry's value then it's a like from me. But, there's no need to add the rider about Beesley. Let's all accentuate the positive without having these sideways digs.

Merely stating a fact so that our esteemed manager will know where he stands
 
Jerry‘s finish was superb today, his confidence should be sky high after that goal, earlier this season he got his goals in a small cluster of games hopefully he can do this again starting at Watford next Saturday,

Changed the game when he came on we were getting battered at that time fortunately they failed to score.

I agree. I thought Beesley had a good game, hard working and some nice touches. Remember also, that he's just come back from injury and still put an excellent shift in. Jerry is just class.

I can see Jake going out on loan to a L1/L2 club for the rest of the season to free up space in the squad.
 
Jerry Yates is the best striker we have a the club, it's as simple as that. He is not a winger, midfielder or anything else. He. Is. A. Centre. Forward. Play him there and he will score goals, with the right players to assist chances we have a 20 goal a season striker right there.
He can be a winger, he can be a midfielder, he can be a defender, he's probably good in goal too but if we want to get the best out of him, we need to play him where he most hurts the opposition... Up top!

P.S. It's not rocket science Applehead........

You're always gonna get that with Ted. Has to be some hate in every post. This is a Blackpool fan who used to slag off Keith Southern.
 
Beesley worked hard. Along with Lavery their high pressing and closing down forced some errors today.

I agree in that Jerry changed the game when he came on.

Absolutely no need to slag off beesley who is coming back off an injury and ran his heart out.

I would expect all players to work hard but you also need that bit of quality and for me that's what Jerry brings. Its the first game in a long time that Beesley has played in his natural position down the middle but based on today he looks a long way short of being Championship quality. He's not physically strong enough and will get beaten in the air pretty much all the time and technically he seems to be lacking too.

OK, your reasoning 20s but, you know, time and a place.
 
Agree about Jerry, however Madine is still an asset at times.

As for Beesley we haven't seen enough of him, he's come off a long lay off, been out on the wing.

Got his chance tonight and it wasn't particularly memorable, but I'm not going to judge him just off that.

Compare to Yates who's been with us for years and he can still have bad spells and barron patches.

So it's unfair to be calling Beesley league 2 at best, ridiculous infact. Similar to those who constantly slate CJ and he keeps proving people wrong.
 
Love the Jerry chop in the box. Defenders cant defend it and he was unlucky not to already be on the scoresheet before his goal after it just curled wide. So exciting in the box that lad.
 
Yates, Poveda, CJ, Morgan Rogers and the return of the Messiah. While I appreciate what Madine can offer as a target man the mobility and trickery of that group of forwards is mind boggling. We do need some balance in midfield though and would like to see Dougall in tandem with Connolly to give some protection for our defence especially away from home.

Beesley not up to speed for the championship
but dont write him off yet
 
Beesley had a good game today. Jerry can be good on his day but let’s be honest. He is not a target man and when played down the middle in. 4-3-3 he has failed to get the goals or hold up play well enough. He also disappears in games.

I know he is good but he does not have the right formation to get the best out of him.

Two issues there:

Beesley had a good game?

Why the need for a target man? It’s sad that we think a target man is needed. We don’t. He scored three today - that tells me he would be just fine.
 
I said at the start of our season all our strikers work better in a two but MA has stuck with his 4-3-3 so Yates has had to play out wide as Madine is the only one who it works out up top on his own.
When Jerry has played in the middle alone he ain't the same get someone close to him like Poveda is now doing is his new role and it's different gravy.

Sorry but don't agree on Beesley. He looked out of his depth totally I'm afraid. Breath of fresh air when Yates came on as a result of which we could have scored more. With any combination of Bowler, Poveda, Hamilton and Rogers supplying him with service he could score a lot of goals this year.
 
80% of us continually insist he should be in a front two - and always a starter.
Just hope sides looking for new strikers disregard guys from struggling clubs.
Both Beesley and Madine can be Jezza's foil when the other tires.

I stand by my view Beesley had a good game. He chased back and harassed all game and let’s not forget it was the first game he has played in his proper position since his injury.

Why do we need a target man? Simply because teams who don’t do so in this division only get away with it because they dominate the midfield so that they can supply strikers with through passes. Something which we simply don’t do.

I don’t dislike Jerry but he has been ineffective in this team when played down the middle and does disappear in games. I would love him to prove me wrong but I’m afraid that is how things have been so far.

Took his goal well but Forest were a beaten team by that stage. There was a lot of grinding down being done in the first half to get to that point. Let’s see how things go from here.

Fair response. I just think we look a shadow of the team with Madine as a lone striker. It limits our attacking threat and it must be so easy to defend against. If we want to be a long ball/direct team, then Madine is perfect. With the likes of Bowler and Poveda, my thinking is that we want to play football.
 
Yates is streets ahead of Beesley, Lavery, CJ and Madine for technical ability. He has composure on the ball, it's not a hot potato for him like it is for the others. The way he was calm when on the ball to lay off the perfectly paced pass for Poveda to score is why he's much better than the others in and around the area.
