From what I could see on the telly, he looked fit, eager, hungry and put himself about quite a bit. He hassled players into making mistakes, did not give them time, worked hard and created opportunities for others. His crossing looked dangerous. No doubt on Saturday he will be pish......

Dairbee Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Johnny Russell scored a belter into the bottom corner yesterday, shame it was into his own goal...... First time id seen John Fleck. Always looked to make himself available for the ball, played the simple passes well. Tidy enough player and didn't look out of his depth. Martin came on with about 20 mins to go and didn't get any real service. You can tell he is getting frustrated sitting on the bench each week.

JECK Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 The Sheffield Utd fans rave about John fleck every time I read about him. If they're challenging at the top and he continues the form I hope he's considered soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rude Gullit Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 3 hours ago, Paulo2576 said: He's looked quality this season what I've seen. He's gonna struggle to get past other guys looking for that position I think though. Realistically he's only been doing this for a dozen games or so. Tom cairney has earned a shot at it for sure. Likelihood of strachan giving him a shout are slim. Best he can do is help keep Aberdeen pinned to the top of the table and continue to deliver matchwinning performances. It'll either earn him a call up or a recall to Celtic where - if he's playing - he'd surely have a great chance of breaking into the national squad.

No doubt will see on highlights tonight, but would be good to hear from somebody that has seen the whole match. I am in the camp that he is finished, but have an open mind to compelling evidence to the contrary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By every objective criteria, he obviously has something to give. It's not like his continued inclusion is keeping some wonder-kids out the team.

Finished starting for Scotland, I think folk are talking about. Playing in the English Premier League doesn't give you an automatic pass into the Scotland starting 11. Every objective measure? I'm not sure about that one. Going forwards - I can't remember the last time he contributed a goal or an assist for Scotland. Defensively - an increasing number of short comings are creeping into his game (weak tackles, slack passes and poor tracking) for example he was culpable for England's third at Wembley. His recent objective performance for Scotland has been the very opposite of where I would rate him 10-15 years ago. It has been poor-average I'm afraid. If there are reasons to maintain his inclusion in the Scotland squad they are subjective eg his professionalism and positive influence on younger players. Like I said I have an open mind. But you need to back up you claim of having every objective measure in Fletcher's favour. Because I think that is an exaggeration and untrue.

Barrie McKay had another good game for Forest tonight. Am I the only one on here bemused he didn't get a call up, he is the definition of an in form player. Yeah i thought McKay may have got a call. great start to the season, shows the difference playing in an organised team with a bit of confidence, there is defos a very good player there. Hopefully he keeps it up and gets recalled soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
