I don't know if he'll get better but if "looking lost most of the season" equated to 8 goals and he started figuring it out toward the end then he might come into next year as a solid 12 goal man. Not a star by any means but certainly not bad as only 14 players scored 12 or more this past season. 8 of those 14 were on teams that finished above EVE and two of them (Adam and DJ Campbell) have been relegated. Again, not saying that Beckford WILL do those things but certainly not an unreasonable progression and it would put him among the better forwards outside the Top 6.Neal Thurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585543708520268866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984669.post-56584953301609006322011-06-07T13:26:57.496-04:002011-06-07T13:26:57.496-04:00But no one's calling Defoe's season as suc...But no one's calling Defoe's season as successful one.Jeremy Spitzberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306174630343638372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984669.post-33703045521421267502011-06-07T06:50:14.402-04:002011-06-07T06:50:14.402-04:00That is twice as many Premier League goals as Jerm...That is twice as many Premier League goals as Jermain Defoe scored.<br /><br /><br />Check out my blog @ www.inforthehattrick.blogspot.comChairmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246062063113669845noreply@blogger.com
