He has never done it outside League one. When he arrived at leeds he looked rubbish and was shipped out to Scunthorpe and did the business there as they went up and we went down. He has never cut it in the championship so its going to take him time to adapt to the premier league.
Moyes has played him too much too early and risks destroying his confidence. In fairness everton have had a series of sh1t strikers over the years so its not as if Beckford is an unusual sight for them. He scored a decent goal a couple of weeks ago and if he had managed to build on that with another quickly I have no doubt he would have been up and away as a limited lower half of the premier league striker. I can't see the point in the glee in his failure, he did a good job for us, he was misguided at times with his transfer requests but it's worth noting post old Trafford he was fairly sh1t for us so this run isn't too surprising.

Which is obviously harsh. He'd just come back from the 1-4, so was obviously annoyed - He did concede he's just not good enough for that level. > He scored 31 goals for Leeds last season but the huge leap from League One to the top flight has proved a daunting one so far for Beckford, who has just one League goal to his name. Sent on early in the second half with Everton trailing West Bromwich Albion 2-1, Beckford scorned a string of opportunities and by the end his confidence looked shot. "Let's be fair to him, we weren't getting any chances before he came on, and after he did, we had lots," said the Everton manager, _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _____ No virus found in this message.
