From what I've heard even Wednesday fans were surprised. Makes you wonder what has happened to Fletcher in the last 4 years or so - going from a solid, valued EPL striker good for 10-12 goals a season to a bit part player for a Championship club. He's only just 30. Perhaps the injuries he suffered at Sunderland did him in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is lazy and only cares about the wonga now, he could have joined an epl team but chose the money instead, says everything you need to know about him. He ain't no kenny miller type who just loves playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 And you'd imagine interested EPL sides would've paid more than Championship sides anyway. If not, it wouldn't be a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 On his day, Fletcher is absolutely excellent. In the game against Georgia at Ibrox, he was involved in every single attack, creating so many chances for those around him. His pass for Anya in Germany and Anya again in the lead up to Maloney's vs Poland were both great. Griffiths is better at creating space and drawing fouls, but I just think Fletcher's technical ability is head and shoulders above the other strikers. I'd be more confident with Griffiths with a chance (although he's missed a couple of sitters in our last two games at Hampden), but I think Fletcher allows those in behind - which is where we are strongest - to play their game.

dogmc Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 You're citing 3 games from two and a half years ago. And a cpl of passes in two of them out of 180 mins of football.....slim pickings as highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Whether he raised games from 2 years ago or 2 days ago, he's not wrong about him having the best technical ability out of all our forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best technical ability out of our strikers you having a laugh, he's all round bog standard with no technical ability wat so ever hence he's in the championship. He has no pace can't hold it up and can't finish his dinner what technical ability are you talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Griffiths arguably has better technique in his left foot than Fletch does in both his. There's a player in Fletcher but just doesn't seem the committed type to me.

No idea how you could reliably compare their commitment levels tho. I suppose Fletcher will always have the Levein fallout thing hanging over his reputation.

Good post. The Fletcher dropping deep and Anya running in behind worked a treat. Why Strachan changed this to shoehorn in paceless Ritchie is anyone's guess.
