Ta. Swindon surely didn’t boost my argument on the face of it but MOT from the fans is the key if the lads are running scared of injury, success or hard work in D1. Four managers, three seasons and god knows how many players have appeared to bottle it under the weight of serious expectation, so what’s the common element? Might just be us . . . ?

Like playing billiards on a football pitch! You may have discovered a new tactic!

Sure, but signing a pre-contract indicates where Beckford’s heart is. Now that is clear I wonder if we’ll get the best out of him in games that aren’t televised.

Aside from blasting the ball off Enoch’s enormous frame and hoping it deflect into the net, there’s very little you could do to improve his striking stats.

Why can’t he figure against Spurs? has he already played in the cup for Leicester or did they refuse to allow him to become cuptied whilst he was on loan? If the latter, surely he can play for us now he is our player?

Of course, what we could really do with is a reincarnation of the great Tony Currie. The more inventive the midfield is the better – even lesser strikers like Enoch + Dicko would achieve decent striking stats!

Don’t forget Tresor. He can have a big impact when he returns to the end of the season. Barnard and Hooper are not for us in my opinion but I am glad about Gradel coming. Expect a surprise before the window ends! Pity Max can’t figure against Spurs, but I’m telling you all; if we get a result (win) tonight we can enjoy the two cup runs and promotion will be a done deal. However, I will take a draw if need be. COME ON LEEDS!

Couldn’t agree more with WSR (and Craig). Enoch was a trier, bless him, so was Dicko. And if I needed my cow’s arse struck squarely with a small stringed instrument, I’d want Becks to do it.

I have only been able to see Leeds 3 times this season and Beckford missed one game. Ive heard the same stuff from leeds fans ” Beckford has poor touch, hes not that good etc”. After the last two cup games id disagree, his touch maybe poor but he is pacey, his movement off the ball is supurb and position is good and his record proves he is a natural poacher. Grayson knows its better to keep a proven goal scorer that gives you promotion rather than take a gamble on another striker. Get off Beckfods case.
