Not at all, he's just one of the team, why pick on him when he's the best goalscorer. > or the "boo hiss" brigade.

Not at all, but to single out one player is grossly unfair almost spiteful and wrong. > But just look at the hard facts then: since the manu game, Beckford has > scored 3 goals in open play in 14 league matches.

Are you saying he should have turned into a on-man team when all around are off form?

Back to the point there should be more than Beckford to be sharing the burden and scoring goals. Has the service to him been adequate, I don't think so young man. Also the defence have been letting in goals you know. > Just as the first half of the season, you couldn't find fault with Beckford > because of his strike rate, now you have to look at his strike rate and admit > its not been good enough. And the other 15 players have all been carrying their weight, Yes? No? Don't know? All except Beckford. > > We kept him at the club for one reason: to score more goals and get us > promoted. If he doesn't do that, it was a mistake to keep him, Maybe Simon Grayson's crystall ball got steamed up, FFS a decision had to be made, everyone was pleased at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, always has been. > and I do believe his presence in the dressing room is probably disruptive. > Not bothered if people agree with me or not. Maybe people are rubbishing you because it sounds like utter rubbish that if "PROBABLY" he is disruptive, as you say, it sounds like common sense to me that he wouldn't be in the dressing room for 14 games causing disruption, surely to fuck, come on, you can't be serious.............................. can you? > Would be a lot more interesting if people could respond with more qualified > statements than just rubbish, what to me, is a valid point.

I am just saying this is one reason for it, and a big one at that. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but when a post gets no positive response doesn't it tell you you something young man. I hope my response to your post contains qualified statements you require rather than merely rubbishing your post. My honest opinion of your post is that it is absolutely ridiculous. There you are young man complete honesty and as I said earlier, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Have a nice day, it's pissing down and foggy here in Ravenscar.
