Football Focus on BBC1 today did a short piece with MB, when asked about where does he hope to see himself in 10 years he said “I’m not too fussed about managing a Premiership team but would like to manage abroad “
He also said he thinks QPR can reach the Premiership soon but more important right now to set some solid foundations in the youth system.

Anyway back on topic, Beale certainly did a number on Pearson today - completely outwitted him tactically! And he's 20 years his senior.

He’s coming along nicely but the game management second half was non Existent. Appeared to do nothing to change pattern of play but we got result.

Appeared to do nothing to change pattern of play but we got result. i really like him (atm). feels like he gets better every game and is the kind of manager who learns quickly from his mistakes. warbs was our best manager since neil and i'll always hold him in high esteem but we all know how frustrating his lack of adaptability was. agree on beale not managing the game well today, i feel like his midfield subs should have come 10 minutes earlier and that we'd have kept a clean sheet if they were brought on earlier but they were the right people to bring on. overall though i'm very happy with him in charge, we look much more dangerous and defend better than before imo. i'm optimistic of finishing in the playoffs but anything in the top 10 for beale's first season will be a good start. i will say though that i do think beale will be a prem manager one day.

Are we saying that more with the advantage of hindsight? They pulled one back on 61. Subs came on at 70...

Think it was pretty clear long before then that the Tim bloke with the long name was being overrun. That said it was inevitable Bristol wd come out second half stronger and more purposeful. If by some miracle we could land a striker in Jan it’s the kind of game that we could put to bed before they had a chance to come back.

Ultimately we outscored the leading goalscorers in the league. We look very tasty going forward and quick.

We’re made to play on the break. If we could keep regular clean sheets could see us winning 1-0 or nicking points in most games

Beale is night and day compared to his recent predecessors at LR. And let's not forget, compared with pretty much all of them he started with a very threadbare squad. We move the ball so much faster than last year & we just look more organised. Top half of table with a rookie gaffer and youngsters coming through would be a massive result. Anything beyond that is a massive bonus.

I hope the board back him in the January window to the full extent possible if we are looking in with a sniff.

What if Villa owners deduce that Mick Beale was the reason for Gerrard's success at Rangers and early Villa career, sack Stevie G and come looking for Mick Beale...

It is looking a bit like that isn’t it?

I’m afraid I don’t subscribe to the view mid table is acceptable outcome for this season. If it was not good enough last season, then I’m unsure how it can be this season when we have kept every key player and replaced the players that have left with better replacements.
The squad is stronger than last year with the same deficiency ie Striker so on that basis if we expected top six last year is it unreasonable to expect it this?? Manager’s experience is an irrelevance imo the questions is do you have the tools and the answer is yes.

Manager’s experience is an irrelevance imo the questions is do you have the tools and the answer is yes. Agree the squad is much, much stronger in defence and midfield. Plus we would be bloody unlucky to have a repeat of the goalkeeping problems we had last season. But think we are massively weaker up top. Andre Gray and Austin have both departed without being replaced (personally I struggle to see Roberts as a striker). Gray and Austin in particular had their weaknesses but as Beale pointed out, we largely rotated the number 9 slot between three players with just one target man up front and between them they got 20 goals. Our Number 9s combined this season (even if you allow in Roberts and say it is him and Dykes) are looking a long way short of 20 goals as things stand. This is being masked by the fact that Illy and Willy are getting even better but they aren't strikers either in my book (even though I've noticed the club website trying to re-brand them as such).

Good shout Grey suppose he would still add something but not Austin he was well shot.
If the club could pull their finger out and find a decent striker I would fancy us against everyone

In pre-season and the start of the season when our form was mixed (due to injuries), many were bemoaning how much weaker we were having lost Barbet, Gray, Wallace, Odubajo, Ball, Marshall and Austin...and how they hadn't been adequately replaced...and that it had been a terrible mistake to release Warburton!

Whaat? I think you and me both agreed our squad is stronger this season.... My memory is that when we kicked off almost everyone on here deemed we were short compared to last year. Plus we had injuries from the off. I think the truth is that now that Mick is beginning to prove himself the Warbs fanboy club are demanding promotion. Nothing less will satisfy them. Me, I'd take top half with youth coming through and keep everything firmly crossed. Just in case.

Where has anyone demanded promotion?
Question for Hal if Warburton had this squad would you be happy in May if we finished 12th (mid table)??
For record I’m chuffed with beale think he has big potential he’s not perfect the way sone have been sucking him off but he has something about him.
