Beckfords last game?

[paddy Agyemang]

Be stupid to get rid of beckford and everyone will regret saying bad things about him because he will go somewhere and bag for the fun of it

Beckford = GOALSCORER, not the best work rate and not the best touch but is definatley a goalscorer

[seenitall]

NP rates him, he was useful during his first spell with us, okay evidently he has been shit in the Sousa and Sven reign, but on the bench he is a far better sight than Howard, unless we buy a quality replacement on the bench we are stuck with the likes of Howard.

Slightly useful in League 1,no use anywhere else, Nige rating him does mot inspire me

I am talking about Waghorn not Howard. Waghorn scored 12 goals in his debut season in the championship admitingaly he didn't fulfill his potential under Sven or Sousa but he is a better player than Howard.

[Raw Dykes]

Yeah I guess I was wrong to make that statement, but IMO I think Beckford should stay NP needs to work him and his 'issues' for next season, he has got the ability to become top goal scorer next season and be our most valuable player. So hopefully NP gives him a nudge and just say your the best striker in this league, which he's not far off if his work rate increases IMO. Although yes it's not as easy as that, but it can be...

I think Beckford could yet prove to be a good striker for us, but he will have to improve his work rate and consistency. He'll have to get stuck in more, be prepared to fight and take a knock every now and then. As I said before, he has improved since NP returned, and if he can step it up a bit more, then I agree, he could potentially be a goal machine at this level for us.

His league goal tally is poor this season, and his wages must be among the highest in the division, let alone the squad. If we can get a decent fee, I think it would be wise to take it - it would bring in a lot of cash, and with the wage bill slashed, we'd be able to seriously reinvest in the squad. If he stays, I really hope he can play well more often, and cut out the slack performances he puts in sometimes.

[ScouseFox]

Anyone saying that Beckford was trying to do right by the team by not getting in the box needs to get real.

Forget the rights and wrongs of it; he threw a wobbly - that much was plain to see for anyone at the game.

Agree with this, really. It's not hard or complicated, he was pissed off and tried to make a point. There's not really much else to it, it seems.

Although I would throw it out there that if Howard had done something similar with Sven in charge, publicly going against him and making a stand, it would be deemed as passionate and only trying to do what he thinks best etc. by those who are having a go at Beckford.

That said, he's not really helping himself or endearing himself to those who don't currently support him. I think maybe he's a little bit thick. But I don't know him personally so can't possibly say.

[absolutelegend]

Anybody that thinks Beckford would still be at the club if it wasn't for the fact he is on an obsene contract is on another planet.

When all is said and done about his ability and attitude, he has been woeful since he joined us (with the exception of a couple of games).

[HoustonFox]

According to the Guardian article on Steve Kean the other day, he actually wanted Beckford but ended up with Yakubu. Would I swap them? Yup. Feed the Yak and he will eat and get fat score

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

[lcfc matt]

Wtf does a striker have to do to fit it at this club.look at yakubu last year he got slated left right and centre look at him now he's on fire.so all you lot calling for beckfords head let him leave let him fire some other team into the prem it would serve us right.at this minute in time I think our club is a joke an the fans are notice better either can't even say I'm looking forward to next Season,because I'm sure it will be more of the same hate to say it but Leicester will never be the club it used to be

Yeah I agree with all of that, although however I would keep on to him I know his wage bill is over the top but we know he has the ability to be a massive asset to this team and to our promotion push next year. So £35,000 will seem a lot (which it is ) but it'll be okay WHEN we get promoted next season

[Out Foxed]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

dunno what hindsight has got to do with it. we knew yakubu could score at this level.

[fleckneymike]

Martyn (81 games 16 goals) Waghorn is not the answer. Cost more than Beckford (3m v 2.5m)

[buzzy]

pearson's man management know must come into question. 3 players he has fallen out with since he as arrived who's saying it's the players and not him. pearson out before he ruins this club **** off pearson

I was there for what it was worth i was sat in the pboro main stand we lost the ball on the edge of their area we had about six players up they broke very quickly beckford was the only player who bust his gut to try and get back five other players didnt bother including morgan who pearson had decided to play up front? Beckford for his efforts ended up quite rightly being knackered in his exertions of trying to get back and defend. We then broke back and got a feekick on the edge of their box beckford was still recovering in our half pearson throws a wobbly as he wants players forward motions to beckford to get forward he tells him he is knackered drinkwater kicks the resulting freekick into row z! I wasnt annoyed with beckford he was the only one who tried to defend earlier. its a shame pearson cant see that instead of publicly slating one player he should look at the bigger picture as to why we lost on saturday and as to why he put morgan up in a centre forward position after taking nugent off and playing beckford wide?

But he did not publicly slate one player?

A good heads up from the game and not stringer / young .... Doesn't look good for NP's man management or media management as per usual.

I didn't see the Beckford incident and was surprised to read about it when I got home as I hadn't a clue it had happened. It's immaterial whether Beckford would have got on the end of something as the free kick was truly woeful. I was behind the ball so all I saw was a ball balloon upwards nowhere near the goal, probably why I didnt see what Beckford was doing.

That's also irrelevant. Beckford can't see the future as far as I'm aware. For all he knew at the time, the free kick might have come off the post and landed at his feet right in front of goal.

The geezer could not understand man management if his life depended upon it.

[The People's Hero]

Pearson's ego is his biggest problem. He has to be big dog. Any player who doesn't want to be his bitch is not wanted.

[5waller5]

Pearson's ego is his biggest problem. He has to be big dog. Any player who doesn't want to be his bitch is not wanted.

... that's actually a very eloquent way of making that point. I agree.

[LcFc_Smiv]

Pearson's ego is his biggest problem. He has to be big dog. Any player who doesn't want to be his bitch is not wanted.

He's the manager, he's the boss, he's stopped players like Mills and Beckford from walking over him, dirsrupting his changing room! Their Pearson's players, and as manager of the club they do what he says, the way you put it, seems as if you suggest that they should have some control over him, which is what most people seem to think is the problem with Wellens and Gallagher. I'd be more worried about this team if Pearson wasn't falling out with players who were act like the players in question have. As a coach I'd expect my athletes to have full respect for me, they'd listen to me and if they have any problems come to me and talk about it, not throw a strop and throw their weight around, anyone who failed to do so would find themselves dealt with appropriately, which it seems is Pearson is doing so.

[Kitchandro]

Pearson's ego is his biggest problem. He has to be big dog. Any player who doesn't want to be his bitch is not wanted.

And that's the way it should be.

It's worked for Brian Clough and Martin O'Neill.

Or should we just be letting arrogant, selfish, dumbass players rule the roost?

[Leicester_Loyal]

Well he is the manager, so he's spot on in my opinion.

[Guest Basildon Fox]

Clough was a different age. O'Neill has the charisma to carry it offf and even he was derided by certain players at Villa. When he left there were players apparently celebrating. Says it all about modern footballers and a distinct lack of reality and respect.
