Did we just play a formation today without a striker ?

    Essentially we have an outfield team of 3 defenders and 2 wingers and 5 midfielders.

    With all 7 attacking players making a huge contribution when going forward.

    I've not seen anything like it !

    Yes we did. Aluko is not a striker actually. But who cares when you are blessed with his talent.


    Laugh of the day has to be OLM doing his gay mauled by the tigers routine and shouting at Colin. Plus the rumours of Becchio signing for Hull City next week, fuelled by the fact he was only a sub. Not sure why Diouff was not involved but maybe the sewer rat was taken ill or injured.

    SB squashed the Becchio rumours saying there is nothing in it and the reason why he was on the bench was because of a knock. Diouf was left out so he could rest

    Diouf bottled it.
    I looked at the teams and said to my mate Becchio must have an injury, some old bloke said he is signing for us and walked off.
    Strange that it was an old bloke, and not a young twiitter addict.

    Yes. Thank goodness SB quashed that silly rumour. Still think if Becchio leaves it will be for Wigan.

    Becchio is a "Fryatt" style striker and would be a top signing, I bet he wants to play PL too & he won't in the current Leeds team.

    Some bloke behind me was berating Becchio for ten minutes after the start of the second half, I didn't want to break his heart and tell him it was Varney. He also got very confused when Austin came on and was convinced it was Diouf.

    He's a big ugly target man. Fryatt, love him or hate him, is anything but a target man.

    Becchio can do much more than that. I saw him a few times when he was playing alongside Beckford and said at the time I couldn't see why Beckford was getting all the hype, because Becchio always looked much more threatening.

    He won't be joining us, but the two rumours I heard today were that we've got 1 from 3 of Fraizer and DJ Campbell, or Diouf, and that Becchio and AMac were involved in a swap deal.

    I'd love to get DJ Campbell. He'd fit the bill! He also scored goals for B'Pool in the Premier League so he's shown he's capable.

    That one was on twitter I think with the addition of cash tossed in.

    We had a bid accepted for him in the summer. Suspect that we decided against it because of the way Simpson played himself into the team in August.

    Laughable really and SB has rubbished that one. He told Burnsy he will do what he can for FC. Sadly imo. But hey ho.

    Becchio is a diving cheat. But all the media talk is of him leaving for Wigan in January. It appears that Becchio was not involved as he is on 4 bookings and Colin did not want to take the risk of a 5th in this game. Interesting if true like......

    Becchio is a good player and thats why his diving and cheating annoys me so much. He is better than that.
