But I really can’t understand leam’s persistence on playing Beattie, in my opinion the team never perform when he is in the line up.

But you should have seen their Dick on Black Bess ! ( That doesn't sound quite right!)...now he could do the business !...but was no good at football !..
( He was well hung on the 7th of April 1739 for chicken-baiting in the Ewood area of Blackburn !)
So Abeme it seems that things never change...
As for James Beattie, I thought yesterday's efforts deserved some praise..although lacking pace he worked hard and made some telling interceptions if not goals !...also his was the voice that kept the Defence on their toes when under severe pressure in he first half !...once again proving that his experience, in spite of his waning powers, is of value to the team at this critical time !.
( ps..Still can't weigh up just who is for 'the DROP'..any more opinions ?).
