The atmosphere changes and you can feel the tension when the ball goes to Beadles feet.I think it’s quite established amongst most in the ground he’s not happy playing out on the ground.

There was a fair bit of tension on that second half when we did the same, when Leeds started pressing us. They were obligingly passive first half.

He isn’t good at passing I agree I think it was unnerving having him in goal and he did look a bit lost, but I think the main criticisms (other than distribution) though were getting down to low shots/parrying the ball into danger, and commanding the box more (something Allsop
is very poor at). He’s certainly improved in the latter and recently hasn’t made the former errors.
Not to say they won’t come. All goalies and defenders make errors/mistakers, it’s just where you make them and how often.
