2025/26 Beto

[Efcjake]

Doesn't matter how close to him they were - he still lost all 8? The duel means it was contested and he lost them all given he was woeful all night. He's 6'4" and was bullied

Does it say he lost every one?

He won 6 and lost 8. Which is actually decent for a forward.

Why are we hoofing it long to him when we know that isn't his game?

Rest up sweet prince.

After they give Barry the same treatment they'll be asking for you to start again.

Moyes should have sold him weeks ago and signed a CF rather than have balls smashed up to him which isnt his game.

Its like if we had Jeffers up front vs 6'5 grocks we wouldnt be smashing it high in the air.

Utter madness

Sell him, if we can get a better replacement in this window

Bit harsh not to start today. He pulled our bacon out of the fire for a stretch last season. Could have started in the BMD opener.

I kind of understood him being dropped. Light a fire under his arse. The main thing for me right now is Barry played, was involved with the goal and we are in the lead. It didn't play out in tragedy. See if Beto can provide a bit more in the second. Brighton might be vulnerable having conceded.

You play badly, you should be dropped. I'm shocked Moyes did it, but if you have the players you should. He's looked much better since coming off the bench today so hopefully it's the kick up the arse he needed.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Great defending to block McNeil’s shot and then put his own effort into the Mersey.

 

[rpm164]

Beto the super sub running at tired defenses is the way forward

 

[Osamabindiesel]

After that game it is Barry's spot to lose. I think he won himself another look. Beto should have been fed by KDH on that run but what can you do.

 

[NortheastBlue68]

Beto was fine when he came on. Wouldn't be too upset if we rotate him and Barry, who's technically the better player but who kicks Beto’s physicality.

 

[girders]

Always seems about to fall over to me...clumsy

Looked far more direct when he came on than Barry.

We need a forward to go alongside either of them though.

….we know he’s a threat running at goal, good options regardless of who starts. Barry looks a little more rounded, did really well with his back to goal in the lead up to the first goal (and maybe the 2nd).

Barry also looks like he has freakish jumping power from a standing start, not convinced he’s a good header of a football at this stage but it could be a very useful weapon if he’s able to exploit it.
