Omar Beckles

Post by Long slender neck »

"Not a league one player" people said, but he has played in all our games where we've kept a clean sheet.

Personally dont think he's perfect but brings that experience and physicality.

He has certainly improved since some of his earlier performances this season, some of which were awful.

Oh that’s good. Makes up for all the times he was turned inside out and f*cked up.

He won header after header against a physical opponent……….look at others here with the same opinion
Our defence pretty much won us three points today
Beckles and Cooper were excellent

Beckles has had some bad games this season, but if you think he was "awful" today, you really must dislike the guy.

Very good today, but IMO Cooper edged him out, he was very very good. A useful signing for this season.

Can’t imagine why some Orient fans seem determined to bring an outspoken, Black senior player down.

This thread further adds to the proof that Orient fans don’t understand football and will settle for any old sh*t.

Not that you’re prone to over-exaggerating or anything.

If he has a good game, I will say so. If you’re going by the rest of his performances this season, he had a good game. Switching off, letting players run off him, putting team mates in trouble with poor passing does not mean a good game. But great, he won headers against a bloke shorter than him

Unlikely one of your two C Bs has an awful game in a tight physical match that you still win. Perhaps he didn't play quite as well as you would like to see.

I think people are missing not just Beckles has come back in but so has Pratley, both seem to have given the team the spine again
