Jermaine Beckford Vs Doc.

Recommended Posts

It''s nice to see a thread about the Doc. He barely gets a mention on this message board.

Nah that''s Becchio.Good to see the weekly "Insert random striker''s name" vs Doc thread is still alive and well. I seem to recall Bristol Rovers were going to slaughter us because he was playing.

Why single out the Doc?

I''m worried about Beckford being against any of our defenders, he is a very good striker.

Getting the blame in before the game has started is very very low.

And if we''re going down that road, why not Beckford vs Askou? I mean seeing as Askou is just an inferior version of Doc...Actually Beckford will certainly cause problems, he''s just a very good striker at this level and everybody will have to be on top of their game to deal with him.

I would dispute that Doc has even got a top of his game!

[quote user="Graham Humphrey"]Yes but you would wouldn''t you?[/quote]Whilst at the same time maintaining Jamie Lad is a top-quality striker, who is just going through a bit of a sparse patch. You couldn''t make it up could you...?

We all have our favourites, and he ain''t mine. I take comfort that tonight Lambert will again see what a weakness he is to the defence...........then its bye bye Doccy.

Hell, if others were fit, we wouldn''t even be discussing this!

[/quote]What, like Nelson you mean? Wiz, you''re a bit of a character, but if you think we have a squad full of injured CBs better than the Doc then I worry for you, I truly do.

As centre backs? WTF... Doc & Askou is our best option with Spillaine at Right back ahead of Semmy... Nelson is a poor mans Doc!!

So you question whether Doc has a top of his game then Wiz, funny that in much the same way i question whether you''ve got a top of your head because there seems very little evidence of a brain being contained in there.

Have all seen something in Doc to play him at a much higher standard than Beckford has ever played. .

Surely quotes like yours Larry only validates what 1st Wizard is trying to say! Hardly a dream team of managers there!

I was wondering when the wiz would continue his "wise before the event" nonsense.  It''s a win win for him really.  If we win and doc has a stormer, then this will get forgotten about.  If we lose due to a free kick or pen which sky will show for Doc holding (1 pen in 6 starts and 3 sub appearances so far this season) then wiz, sorry, Dave, can bang on forever about his third eye.  Or something.

Doherty will keep Beckford quiet all night. He (Beckford) doesn''t perform in ''big'' games half the time anyway, so I''d back Doherty to have him sorted.

Russel should be able to control Howson as well, and with no Snodgrass and Becchio, I actually think we can win tonight.

Snodgrass is a massive player for Leeds, as is Becchio, so if we keep Beckford and Howson out of the game (and if our key players - Holt, Russel, Hoolahan - are fit) we will get a result.

2-1 is my prediction. Hoolahan and Doherty, with Beckford scoring a late consolation.

[/quote]Really Wiz?Do you have any evidence that they are his current preferred pairing? Or are you, in fact, just passing your opinion off as fact? Perhaps they were his preferred choice at some point, but surely not after our recent defensive record.
