Beech revealed to the News and Star that he tried unsuccessfully to sign Diamond earlier in the summer and was full of praise for how the winger has developed over the last 12 months, thanks to a loan spell with Harrogate Town.
The Carlisle boss also had praise for his side’s 18-year-old winger Bell but used Diamond’s work-rate as something the player can take inspiration from:
Diamond an inspiration
Jack Diamond scored his first senior goal for Sunderland in the 5-3 EFL Trophy win over Carlisle in midweek and the Cumbrians manager Chris Beech believes the youngster can be an inspiration to Lewis Bell.Beech revealed to the News and Star that he tried unsuccessfully to sign Diamond earlier in the summer and was full of praise for how the winger has developed over the last 12 months, thanks to a loan spell with Harrogate Town.
The Carlisle boss also had praise for his side’s 18-year-old winger Bell but used Diamond’s work-rate as something the player can take inspiration from:
When Brennan Dickenson pulled his hamstring at Sunderland in pre-season, I rang their manager Phil Parkinson to thank him for the pre-season game, and enquired about Diamond, who’d been at Harrogate.
You could see the other day the difference in that he’s had that extra 12 months. I know he’s older, but he’s been out, on loan, done really well for Harrogate to help them get promoted, then he scores that last goal against Lewi Bell trying to track him.
It’s that bit you need to get into those technical players – to stop the goal and then do your thing.
Lewi was definitely doing his thing the other day – he was confident, taking players on, coming inside, he’s got a beautiful, lovely touch and great football intelligence.
But you have to have a process and make sure your opposition don’t score. It was just that last goal where Diamond came on the inside and smashed it into the goal.
It’s not just him at 17-18 having to learn that. I’ll still talk to 32-year-olds about that.
You could see in Diamond, his resolute, consistent way he plays. Jack Armer did brilliant against him, he didn’t have it his own way at all, then when we took risk to try and get the equaliser [at 4-3] there was a gap on the far side which Lewi had to cover, and Diamond took advantage.

Would give him a run in the side. Looks like he knows where the net is and might surprise us all.

Totally agree with you Barrow however PP will stick with his existing experienced guys unless there are injuries.
