Why have you moved my post?

Why have you moved my post?

I always put mine on the coffee table for when I get home.

Surely if you can put it on the coffee table you're already at home.

Yes, but when the post arrives I'm usually on my way out. I never have time to deal with it (ie, open it and throw it in the bin) when it comes.

I didn't?

I did.

It makes sense to have a thread for loan players instead of posting about them in the ex players thread.

Tom Hopper hasn't scored in his last 10 games for Bury. I expect he'll do well against Carlisle's slow and old central defenders today though.

He's looked dangerous in spells. Had a header well saved then miskicked when it looked easier to score.

Scoop.

If only we could call him back for the Cup Final! Pearson out!

Some comments about Beckford, from Huddersfield fans...


The biggest villain is Beckford, he has been lazy and uncommitted now for weeks … people argue he’s not in there to work, he just needs chances – well he had two headers yesterday, both decent one he tamely headed at the keeper from four yards, the other he headed wide
His commitment is a joke, summed up for me yesterday when the ball cannoned high in the air in the Brum box and Beckford looked at it without even making a challenge with defender – be prepared to take a knock FFS, you’re a striker look to win the ball in a dangerous position!


Beckford's possessional play and touch were woeful yesterday. 9/10 he lost the ball or his pass didn't find a man


Beckford has never in his life committed to anything, over paid and lazy, unless he gets a crap defender to slip a ball into his patch he will do nothing. Were down to ten with him on.


JB is a poacher and comes alive around the box. Whilst play is building he's pretty much non-existent (although when he was yesterday he was woeful) and doesn't really add anything.


I don't think Beckford was lazy, infact I think he worked quite hard. What annoyed me with him was that was just simply no intelligence in his play, which for a lad of his experience and ability is simply inexcusable. The amount of times he gave the ball away as soon as he received it, or just ran directly into a CB was criminal.

But he's the second best striker in the league.

It was obvious when we thumped them, they really are very lax at marking.

 

[Volpone]

Makes you wonder whether we'll ever be rid of Beckford before his contract runs out. Who would want to buy him?

Nobody after the way we have marketed him.
