If you look at the number of goals Macca and Smith have scored this season. in a crap team with no pace and wingers and compare that to Becchio who was playing with Snodgrass, Gradel and Howson (in League one for a couple of seasons as well !!) I don't think Becchio's goal record is anything spectacular, in fact in spells it was poor e.g season before last he scored 12 in 30+ appearances. So let's not make out he was a goal machine because he most certainly wasn't.
