Ian Snodin: Jermaine Beckford must show he’s more than a supersub
THE more I see of Jermaine Beckford the more he reminds me of my old Everton team-mate Stuart Barlow.[LNB]Both are quick, both get into plenty of scoring positions - and both received flak for failing to convert a high enough percentage of them.[LNB]Stuey never managed to hold down a first-team place permanently, but he was still a very effective impact substitute and many of his 90 Everton appearances came stepping off the bench.[LNB]The challenge for Jermaine, like Stuey, is to prove he can be more than just a supersub.[LNB] He has a lot to learn still about life in the Premier League, which is why David Moyes is right to use him sparingly at present.[LNB]Games do get stretched in the final 15 or 20 minutes as players tire, and that's when Beckford can use his pace, strength and eye for an opening to their fullest.[LNB]What has been remarkable about his appearances in the last few games is that even though he has only been on the pitch for little more than 20 minutes each time, he has still got himself into scoring positions every single game.
