of course you can have a goalscorer who can trap a ball , play a pass and score goals at Championshiop level. Ricky Lambert is one and Morrison has proved for Millwall that he can do it too (45 goals in 2 seasons). Also our own McCormack has proved it can be done scoring 19 the previous season. If you look around there are others - the bloke from Palace who has nearly 30 goals already, Jordon Rhodes and many others. Yes some of these cost a bit of brass but thats the sort of player we need to take us up. and it's funny you talk about Becchio as if he's a proven 20 goal a season scorer - he never managed 20 in one season in League One and got 11 season before last so don't make out he's something he's not. the Becchio watch thing is to demonstrate that this guy is just not up to the premier league, in fact he's not even close. I never said he single handedly could avoided getting beat against scum but he would have managed the team or maybe the first striker sub if he was showing some promise. and of course Becchio would have scored both pens yesterday - not if he took it like the one he missed v Yeovil. At least Macca got it on target.

Fair comment, just as it isn't a given that we'd have got a second penalty if we'd scored the first either. Point is, are we really any better with Morison than we were without him? Were we better off with a clumsy scorer of penalties and tap-ins than refined ball players who can't hit a barn door? Rich would say he wants a goalscorer who can trap and control a ball with his first touch but what if at this level you can't have both? If it's goal scoring or control, which do you choose? _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
