Move Klose 303 Posted January 23, 2010 I don''t know if i''m biased, but when i look at Leeds'' squad and line up i always think its a very average team full of league 1 & 2 players, apart from Beckford, Snodgrass & possibly Howson. I mean Forster is better than their keeper, Martins a better rb than Crowe, Drurys certainly better than Hughes. Any of our 4 centre halfs are better than Bromby and Kisnorbo. And in the middle i think Russell, Smith, Lappin, Hughes are better than the likes of Doyle & Kilkenny ! And there 2nd striker Becchio, give me Martin any day ! I don''t think they squad good enough to have the likes of Hughes & McNamee on the bench ! Its a squad game and are strength in depth is gonna see us win this league !

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 23, 2010 I personally think Beckford is Sh*te......His goals today...first one on BBC all it said, was he was in the right place, Even Cureton could do that...and the second was a penalty...he can''t create chances like our front 3......I think Kisnorbo, Snodgrass and their keeper is good, they also have the best player (second best anyway) ANDY HUGHES :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Leeds arn''t average IMO, they''ve got some very very good players and a system that works, they''re system makes up for Beckfords flaws as ours does Hoolahan''s/Let''s not get too above our station, I think we''ll win the league but to call Leeds average is a bit daft.

Brendo 0 Posted January 23, 2010 On a serious note, I think its incredibly close between the two. They both have quality players, who both would love to have playing for them. I would happily take about 4 of their starting line up, and shove them in ours. Sadly I cant do that. But in a neutrals point of view, Its gonna be one hell of a run in to the end of the season.

birchfest 397 Posted January 23, 2010 Beckford just rides the media hype, best finisher or not he is only third in the table behind Holt and Lambert.... actual goals over reputation any day of the weeks! Personally I think we have a better team, and if we had started the season with Lambert and the current starting 11 we would be top and clear by some distance, to think were were 11 points behind and we have caught them up... we could be 11 points clear right now!

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 23, 2010 I would agree with the original poster, on paper if you take out snodgrass and Beckford it seems average but they do have a good team spirit and confidence.....I hope they go as far as possible in the cups and knacker themselves out, replays in the cup, extra time the works.I also think Beckford has found his level and despite scoring in the FA cup against premiership teams and us, i really dont rate him as highly as others, he seems lazy, and as one Lees fan admited, he doesnt really perform away...obviously he did against Man U and Spurs but in the league? Be intrested to see how many he has scored at home and how many away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OTBC[/quote]Ive never heard so much bull in my life. Kisnorbo is solid for this league. Rarely gets less than 8 out of 10 on post match reviews. You really havent seen Kilkenny play very much have you either. Hughes is probably quite average but he can play in 4 different positions but I wouldnt swap Snodgrass,Beckford,Kilkenny,Kisnorbo,Howson,and Johnson.The only player I rate of yours is Hoolahan. Ok Holt may have scored a couple of goals more(i think) but he is not a patch on Beckford.(hence why Beckford is getting all the headlines and is probably known to every fan in the country right now ) and Grant Holt is only really known by fans from league one and two!!!

Salford 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Holt is better than Beckford and the stats prove it. Not only does Holt score goals but he creates them AND he doesn''t take the penalties. If he did he would have hit nearly 30 this season already! Don''t get me wrong I don''t think Holt would be able to cope in the Prem but neither would Beckford. He is a billy big time that is STILL plying his trade in league 1 despite being 26. Ask yourself this question, if Leeds were in the Prem, would Beckfords name be on the team sheet? I think not.
