Beadle: Lacked Character and Desire


Some more comments from Pete Beadle:

"Everyone, even now, are still playing for places in this team and places to be at this football club, now and next season.

"I need to see more than that tonight and there was one or two that came in that had an opportunity to play, not because I was resting people, but because I thought they were the players that would get us a result.

"We got the result, but very fortuitously in the end."

The penalty?

"It's a long way away from here, but there was obviously contact and it was right in front of the referee."

"There was contact, how much there was I don't know. It was right under the referee's nose and I didn't see many of them arguing with it.

"It was nice to see Mus (Bundu) brave enough to step up and put it in the other way after Saturday's miss.

"But the scoreline and result was probably the only positive out of tonight.

"We've got to put it out of our way now and move on, but it won't be forgotten until before Thursday when we train and have a meeting then, we'll talk about tonight.

"The players need to remember that I never set the standards here, they did.

"They're the ones that turn up every week, they're the ones that play every week, they play from the shape and organisation that we give them and everything else that we install into them, but they play every week.

"And when they drop below their standards, they've got to be expected to be told. Saturday second half they were excellent, and I told them 
how proud I was of them.

"Tonight, really disappointed with the whole group.

"I thought it was lacklustre and poor and lacked character and desire."
