I'm tiring of those who defend him

particularly on twitter.

We just know, every week without fail, that he will be a passenger and that, rather than 'looking for space', he is basically hiding.

He is cut an extraordinary amount of slack by supporters who wish him nothing but well. However her has delivered pretty much what I would expect from an average Championship striker.

And far less than I would expect from Becchio.

        If that was Howson, i'd put money on him playing it in front of him for Ricky to run onto (NCFC) - mrleelee, Mar 10, 12:05:49
        
        there is a defender right behind him who would have blocked anything on target. (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 10, 11:41:32
        
        who said it was glorious? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 10, 11:51:20
