Very selective of you Rich, Becchio scored 19 by the end of January THIS season in the championship. Ricky Lambert is in the premiership, I think, and Jordan Rhodes was until relegated and has never scored 20 goals in the championship. McCormack scored 18 last season not 20 and is nowhere near achieving that this season (3), had that been Becchio you would have called last season a flash in the pan. Morison scored 20 goals in League One and 15 in the Championship for Millwall. Lambert played 90 minutes yesterday, didnt score and couldnt avoid getting beat by QPR. Rhodes played 90 minutes, did score but couldnt avoid defeat by Peterborough.
So by your own admission we really have one example of a footballing goalscorer and neither of us can remember his name old farts that we are Glenn Murray I never thought Becchio was premiership standard either but that he was a decent second division goalscorer. Our current goal drought against poor form teams leads me to believe that we should be careful what we wish for. As for Maccas pen being on target, thats all it was otherwise it was one of the weakest attempts Ive ever seen and if it had been Becchio you would have been calling for his hanging.

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 that's 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. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
