I was at the game today. Regarding the Beckford incident at the end, all I saw was Beckford back on the half way line when we were getting ready to take the free kick. First impression was that he may have been been carrying an injury. To be honest, he put in a reasonable shift today (certainly better than Nugent, Wellens, Dyer, Marshall, Peltier, Konchesky, St Ledger, Morgan, Drinkwater, Schlupp) and even if he had a bit of a strop did it really matter? We weren't going to score/win the game.
NP seems to have had quite a few bust ups with players in his time - DJ, Mills, St Ledger and now Beckford - to the detriment of the team. I can't recall any Leicester Manager that seems to have had this problem as much as NP. Perhaps, this is a flaw in his management skills?
Why didn't NP bring Andy King on for the last 15-20 minutes when we needed goals?
Remember that Posh were without their best defender (Zakuani) and lost their best striker (Barnett) before half-time. They had a full back playing at centre half, and the other centre back came from Macclesfield. They looked rock solid against our meagre forward line!
A massive clearout will be required in the summer. We need horses for courses, that is players who will help us to get out of the Championship and not those who think they are Premier League stars. Peltier can't defend and Konchesky is past his best. Bamba flatters to deceive. Mills clearly won't be back. Wellens is a has been. Drinkwater and Marshall have potential, so keep them. Credit to Dyer for his effort but he's a player for a mid table Championship side. Nugent and Beckford, with the right service, will score goals at this level. Waggy and Vassell need to be shown the door.
