		<description>It could be said that the fact he is tightly marked is a kind of contribution in itself - holes are left for others to exploit.</description>

		<description>the real issue here is our fixture being delayed until Monday. If it hadnt we wouldnt start these sorts of debates off.Lets be honest there are positives and negtives to these debates. It gives us an opportunity to discuss players who arent getting a chance, and yes some players who perhaps need a break.

For my part I voted yes, because I think Becchio is an excellent player who has just come back from injury, and seems to have dropped away in the last couple of games. I think we have other options to use, but need to see how he works as an impact substitute, either this or drop him a little deeper than recently so we have someone to aim the ball at whilst beckford picks up the ball from midifled a little better.

I would like to see players like Mcsheffrey, Grella and kandol used more in the striking roles, i think we are too predicatble in attack. Cut off Snodgrass and there is no link to midfield, thats how I would play it as a manager. Beckford doesnt fight for the ball, becchio is left alone too often. I believe either my suiggestion about changing it round a little or better still introducing a third striker is the way.</description>

		<description>Ralph

no player should be immune from being dropped

we all know beckford is the best striker we also know he has some pretty bad habits

the question re beckford relates to what he brings if he doesnt score and if you are honest you will say not very much in most games, although he is heavily marked, we also need to consider that he is likely to be leaving next summer and we need to size up possible replacements such as grella to see if they are going to be good enough</description>

		<description>Not really sure where the call to drop becchio has come from

last season he earned rave reviews scoring 19 goals in 56 apps
this season he has 12 from 37

hes averaging 1 in 3 in his time here

tresor kandol averages 1 in 4, dickov about one in ten since he rejoined man city, even in his pomp at city he was a 1 in 5 man

i think grella should have been given more of a look in but it should have been for beckford when he was drawing a blank just recently, the brentford game would have been an ideal time, giving beckford a rest and grella chance

so if becchio had been playing badly i could understand your view but hes getting back to fitness, his goal average is pretty much the same and his work rate and strength would be sorely missed in my opinion, plus without his goals recently we would probably be in the play offs

not the right time to make a change in my opionion</description>

		<description>I&#039;d have to disagree on Definitely Maybe being one of the best albums ever, although will admit it was good. For all it&#039;s merit though, it was hardly ground-breaking or lyrically superior to anyone else. The music wasn&#039;t anything special either.

Before I get into an argument I&#039;ve had a million times about how over-rated Oasis are/were, I&#039;ll move back to LUFC.

I agree Dickov could theoretically bring something to the team, I just don&#039;t believe he will at his age. My problems with him being at Leeds don&#039;t stem from the contempt I hold for the man, but for the lack of forward thinking the move represented. Bringing in 38-year-old journeymen strikers because he&#039;s a mate is not the kind of signing I&#039;ll ever support.</description>

		<description>I base my Dickov opinion on passionately hating the bloke as I said before. I&#039;m willing to support him in a Leeds shirt mind, but that&#039;ll never change my belief he&#039;s past it and Simon signed him because he&#039;s.a mate</description>

		<description>Without Becchio, Beckford cant score. He is lazy and needs someone to do the work for him, so dropping Becchio would effectively stop most of our goals. Becchio isn&#039;t a goal scorer but we need him just as much as we need beckford. They are both equal in there use for the team.
I think leave Becchio in the team, drop Beckford, start Grella then maybe someone else doing abit of work on behalf of Becchio he would start to score more goals ;)
either way, tonight is a massive match and we need 3points, if we loose Millwall would only be 3points behind us and there next game is Stockport, when ours is Norwich :/
COME ON LEEDS!!</description>

		<description>It has been picked up on frequently that the rest of the squad consider Grella to be the most skilful player in the squad and I want to muse on what that really means in the context of a football match in division 3.

I used to play 5-a-side football once a week with friends. We decided to pack up organising the match once a group of far more &#039;skilful&#039; lads turned up and pretty much took over. Essentially they were show-offs, always trying the spectacular when the intelligent ball would have been much more effective and blasting trick shots over the fence when a tap-in would have scored. I&#039;m not suggesting that this experience necessarily reflects on Grella at all but I am wondering whether Grayson sees him as a player to use (when fit) when the opposition is tiring until he develops a more rounded game - which he may well be working on in training.

I also think he may well be a player who suits a higher division far better once he has matured.</description>
