I think Beckford needs to develop his game if he's gonner go much further.

He's a player who at the moment thrives on mistakes and punishes teams with his pace and finishing.

The higher up the ladder the less mistakes defenders make so he gets less action. He tends to wait for the ball when it is played up to him and good defenders nip and don't let him settle.

I think he either needs to go down the more physical route (which i don't think he will cos he's a bit of a fairy) or he needs to make smarter runs and drag players about (not always easy when you're also supposed to be on the shoulder of the last man)

At League One though he is immense.

Why can't he take Beckford off?

I suspect that Beckford is a bit pissed off today, he had a golden opportunity to show the world that he can run with the big dogs and yet didn't make the most of it, a shot that doesn't hit the onion bag is of no concern to the scouts, they expect a striker to score (or at the very least be on target) from every half chance, for a striker of his age time is running out for him to really make it in the big leagues (outside of promotion with Leeds).

I expect (and hope) that he will still be banging goals in for us next year in the Championship.

For whom? I thought Becchio was fantastic last night, and he can never really take Beckford off.

One thing which warmed my little heart - Becchio after being subbed was understandably peeved, kicked a water bottle, face like thunder etc, but the other subs on the bench were all giving him a slap on the back and letting him know he had a great game.

He was my motm as it happens.

Grella should have been given at least 20 minutes if not more.
