Has great potential to be a match winner but does rather blow hot and cold, let's hope he gets hotter as Spring approaches

Ian Royal Typical winger.
Soft in defence, goes missing, but has the beatung of a full back, can whip in a good cross and scores a few important goals.

Don't think he hugely fits our shape... better in a traditional 4-4-2 with two strikers to aim at when he hits the byline.

Decent impact sub though. I like him.


I actually think it's him being on the pitch that makes our shape much more effective. When he's not been around we've often struggled because it tends to end up with McCleary going up top and us playing a more legitimate 5-3-2, but when Beerens is on we play 4-3-3 which gives us legitimate width. Plus Obita/Gunter both rely on having wingers in front of them so it really does help.

3points Does he have a song yet?


The foolish old football philistine behind me has one that he keeps going throughout games - something along the lines of:

'Get stuck in Beerens...
Beerens you bottled it again...
Beerens put some effort in...
Beerens you're useless!"

:roll: :twisted:
catchy. Just trying to figure out the tune though



que sera sera

Jack Celliers He's good - scores useful goals and puts in the odd tackle. When we get these players from middling European clubs, I always fear the worst due to memories of Marek and Drenthe, but Beerens has been a pleasant surprise and coped well with the demands of the Championship.
If he was perfect, I guess he would have still been in Hertha's first team, or way beyond our price range, but I am happy that he seems to be a good player who is playing well.


I quite like him going forward but if he's made a tackle I must have missed it
The guy simply doesn't know how or doesn't want to tackle.
More likely (as they say) he just doesn't fancy it
His shirt is a clean at the end of the game as it is at the kick off

I disagree. I think his lack of pace precludes him from being the typical winger and he'd struggle in a 4-4-2. He's very technical and uses that to get past full backs, I don't really ever recall him beating anyone for pace.

I like him in a crowd, he finds a way out and gets a pass in.

Doesn't matter how you beat the full back, see Glen Little for lack of pace. Actually, you don't even need to beat them, see Beckham.

Thats not to say you're wrong about Beerens, just that your reasons don't automatically rule him out.

LWJ I think the thing with Beerens is he bottles a lot of challenges/headers and goes missing for large periods of the game.


Are we still talking about Roy Beerens or are you now talking about Jimmy Kebe?

but in that context he has been a more than acceptable acquisition
