One of the worst sides in the football league and they come away from home on a Tuesday night and tear us apart in the second half. I've lost it with James Beattie for a few that can be bothered turning up for away games his bad tactics also spread to away games too! Home against Luton brings off a striker to bring on a midfielder in the 80th minute to settle for a draw at home. Bury also springs to mind regarding them having a man sent off in the 70th minute and we are loosing so what does he do, yes he brings an inexperienced midfielder on and we have no effect in the last 20 and end up loosing the game. Against Carlisle its the same old story , for a change he starts with carver who's full of enthusiasm and running unlike the others and then we're chasing the game once again and he brings on a midfielder.....

The problem with beattie is , yes were going to loose a lot of our away games but the home games is were going down is settled! The fans are not with him , most of the players look like their not and the football he has them playing is predictable and just isn't obviously working. How many more games does it take for fans and directors to see this. Bad last season and started this season even worse than the last. No other club would let this happen and that's the difference between our tinpotness and it will end up kicking us in the teeth if the club and fans would like to stay in the football league. I've lost patience with the man , with watching Coleman , Cook and even Richardson we at least saw the lads put the effort in for the badge they were on their shirts and at least grinded out results, with this team their is no flare , no grinding of results and no passion. I also dont like his arrogance , he seems to love himself and is deluded to the results his team is producing. He seems to be a man that knows the financial levels of the club which is obvious for anyone but he shouldn't be taking about it , that's for the directors not him.

At the end of the day , Dav might get slagged off for his adoring love of John Coleman but Beattie has now more resources Coley ever had, a better pitch by far, better budget and also better facilities I.E changing rooms etc. YET coley got his team competing with other teams , other teams feared us , referees and linesmans hated us and we all knew we'd get a full blooded performance from the reds and some pride shown but now teams turn up at the crown knowing they'll get an easy game and a great chance to grab some points and with James Beattie struggling to make it even to the touchline the refs and linos sent exactly worried about giving decisions.

He isn't right for the club , not experienced managerial enough and it really does show. Ambassador Yes, Manager NO.
