I think most of the anti-Becchio brigade were rooting for him, and I think all the fans have Paynter more than a fair chance to prove himself.
For some reason he just isn't doing it, preseason is the perfect chance to wipe the slate clean and get some confidence back by scoring shitloads in training/friendlies. You would have thought with 2 proper wingers we'd be perfect for him too. But what it does do is again highlight the merits of Becchio - oh what we'd give for a few Paynter mis-hits/tap-ins or whatever right now, but I'd even settle for harassing the defence which he doesn't do as effectively as Becchio either. -----Original Message----- From: leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of Ian Murray Sent: 15 August 2011 15:31 To: seanscr...@aol.com Cc: listleedslist Subject: Re: [LU] Andy Keogh Clearly won't happen if he doesn't play.

I'd say Grella has a better goalscoring record than Paynter in competitive games for us, but Grayson would apparently play a 20-year-old debutant defender as center-forward when we need a goal than he would give Grella a chance. That's not fair either, as far as I'm concerned. To me it's all about scoring goals in the league, and Paynter just hasn't done that. And he's gotten himself injured at the start of two seasons in a row. I'd have sold him (and Grella, since Grayson clearly doesn't rate him) this summer, to be honest with you. Maybe Paynter was good for Swindon, but he isn't good enough for us. > > (And of course, I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong by > Paynter coming back from injury, establishing himself as the first > choice center-forward and scoring 30 goals as he powers us to > automatic promotion.
