A Real Complete Performance Today Said Beadle



After today's 2-0 win at Redditch, Pete Beadle said that his side still need to be a bit more ruthless, especially after having the majority of possession.

Beadle told BBC H&W's reporter Keith Hall: "We asked questions at half time about being a bit more ruthless. Again we've had lots of good possession in the final third and not quite made the most of it. 

"It was a good, solid performance, we kept the ball really well and limited them to very few chances. Nice to keep a clean sheet.

"We started really well and pushed them back. Sometimes when you give teams that little bit of incentive they make the most of it, but we didn't give them that today. We'd have like to have been another one or two up at half time, but it wasn't at one-nil. 

"It only takes one mistake, one refereeing decision or one set piece and they're back in the game, so we need to make sure we're focussed. We looked solid again from set pieces defensively, and looked like we might score from set pieces at the other end. So a real complete performance today."

Ryan Green was sent off late in the game, but prior to kick off Keith Hall asked Beadle if he was taking an individual fitness test.

"The body takes a little bit longer to recover as you get older and Ryan's no spring chicken. He made a decision that he was okay to play, I'm just really disappointed with his decision right at the end in the last minute of the game.

"I think there's lots of things you can point your finger at [with the sending off]. With Ryan's experience, the game in the last minute, two-nil and 50 yards from his goal, does he need to make the challenge? We don't want to take that edge away from him, but does he need to make that challenge there? Probably not.

"It might be four games, but whatever the case, we're going to miss him. He's been our most consistent defender again this season and it's probably a tackle he didn't need to make."
