cheesynsicksheep Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Not discussing the game tonight specifically here,but whilst I can see WGS plan in using Fletcher to hold up & link play, he's not started this season well and he's not protecting the ball very well. I appreciate that Naismith isn't everyone's brand of vodka but he would have been perfect in that role tonight and I think that if he found himself clean through and onside he'd have realised it !!

Bino's Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 He's the striker that's petrified of the goal but he's decent at lay offs doesny really matter now anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLT NY Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Apart from not being able to use his right foot my biggest problem with Fletcher is he's lazy. Not ideal when you're struggling away from home. Agreed. Commentators were talking about him being the first line of defence, but he doesn't do any of that. We need to give Jordan Rhodes a chance, and change the formation around that if needs be, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macy37 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Did you see his swipe fresh air when he was offside? He is not a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'm struggling to think of any decent contribution he's made to the team in 180 minutes of football. Fletcher's not to blame for not being an international footballer, but Strachan is for continuing to pick him. Strachan has one game to get it right, against Poland. He either drops Fletcher completely, or he brings in a goalscorer to play beside him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiler82 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Surely now that's it for Fletcher in this campaign... He played well in Warsaw but totally ineffective in the last three games. His confidence is too low at the moment - he looks like he doesn't believe he can score. Russell, Naismith, Griffith and even Armstrong need to be ahead of him for Poland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Said it before and I'll say it again he would do well as a second forward/ high up attacking midfield. He will never be a goal scorer and yet all we ever see is him being asked to holup play, link with the midfield and score goals. OK he usually can do 2 of those but he just can't score( unless it's against a diddy team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I doubt if Fletcher has scored more than 30 goals total in the last 5 or 6 years. About the same as Andy Considine (who can kick the ball with both feet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munro7 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Not defending him but he wasn't helped by the complete inactivity around him. He won several flick ons and we didn't pick up a single second ball as no one was running beyond him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won several flick ons and we didn't pick up a single second ball as no one was running beyond him. He once and only once held up the ball effectively in the game and that was for Hutton. That apart he twice tried a very basic pass when holding up the ball and made a of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh1877 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 One footed, slow, lazy, strolled about like he's a player. I'd need to see it again but did he not pass the ball back the way it came to him instead of turning and running into the 10 yards of space between him in the goals after abt 70-80 minutes. Worse than a man down tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 he was let off the hook big time by the offside decision in the second half, he had totally miskicked the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewBlue Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Better off playing Naismith up front. Scores more (slightly) and a better all round footballer plus much harder working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I changed my mind about Fletcher. He is even more pish than I thought he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 <p>I thought Fletcher was alright last night. He had a very difficult job, up against 2 classy centre halves, with no runners going beyond him and the only service to him being long balls shelled up the pitch. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 How many goals has Fletcher scored this season? How many goals has Naismith scored this season? How many goals has Griffiths scored this season? So who to pick... hmm. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
