Your Dad is spot on. I actually think some Leeds fans actually believe the hype
surrounding Becchio. Some people think he is good on the air, some people think
he holds up the ball well, some people think he is a goal scorer and some
people think he works harder than the rest .... and some people think none of
these. He is not good in the air, he is not a goalscorer (1 in 4 at 3rd
division level is shite), he only looks like he's working harder because he
can't do even the simplest things without making a big f;cking meal of things.
Beckford covers more ground, is fitter and puts in more hard work than Becchio.
That's not to say Becchio doesn't put a good shift in (as SG would say) but
it's just not good enough for me. Last season he was running on adrenaline and
benefiting from Beckford at the start of the season. He then went on
a spectacular run of very few goals. This season he's never looked like scoring
regularly and has missed some horrendous
sitters. I can't bear to watch players who fall over and lack basic
footballing ability - it's criminal.
Johnson - he can't do it at left back. I think he's done really well this
season and has proved me wrong but the jury is still out. I'f prefer to see
Aidy White given a chance. He's got too much ability.
