The ironic thing is that (and yes I was there), I thought that Becchio and
Michalik were our best two players on Wednesday. Perhaps it's just me.

My Dad, came to Saturday's game - he doesn't get to many these days and so
doesn't know many of the players - and asked me after 70 minutes or >>so,
"why are they always singing Becchio's name. I've only seen him do one of
three things; lose the ball; fall over; or complain to the referee."
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.
