I don't blame Becchio entirely for our poor record when he played. Not entirely.
BUT, as Sir Richard Walker has so frequently pointed out , indeed to the point of tedium, we will never play the freeflowing, passing game which we all crave (or do we?) with Becchio in the team. (Getting nervous now because I am daring to contradict some one...............I hope I am doing it in an adult way so Boocock isn't going to ban me.)
