John Fleck

Simple and to the point. Well said.

He will have games where has less of an impact, dare I say it perhaps when opposition sides actively look to stifle him and Coutts....but he has enough class to deliver that one bit of quality to set him out from the others.

In fact, we have a few players able to do that, and not said that about my team for a long time.
 
Fleck ran the show and is our best and most important player, one of many important players I may add but he's at the top of the list for me.

Over time I think Carruthers will challenge him for the title I've given him and that's playing with Fleck and not instead of.

Carruthers is a really good footballer and one I have high hopes for too.

Great to hear he's back on form but Sharp, Coutts and Duffy all have a claim to the same title.
 
I get other players have also been class, but next time at a game, spend 5 mins watching Fleck. If the centre half wants an outlet, Fleck is there. If the ball lands with one of the forwards, Fleck is available. Just a superb footballer, and it allows the likes of Coutts and Duffy to do what they are doing so well.

I heard he's injury prone?

That makes him the anti Brian Howard. Every time one of our players got the ball he'd vanish into thin air.
 
He's got a proper footballing brain. Always knows just what to do to get round a player or two and find himself a pocket of space to work from
 

I prefer Duffy (more creative and attack minded) over Fleck (a great all rounder)
Duffy is our most talented player regards dribbling with the ball and opening up tight defences.
It's ironic that he had an off day today and we still won comfortably.

Do the same with Coutts. both are terrific, isn't it great ?
 
If a game came along where everyone played at their best Fleck would be MOTM.

Duffy is also a key player but Fleck in his role at his best is Premier League Class.
 
Let's celebrate them all, boys and girls. I'm a huge fan of all three of our footballing midfielders (being able to write that is a huge pleasure in itself). JOC, EEL and LAV are great too. So are all the other players with 3 letter names! Simon Moore is excellent.

I have a personal favourite - Paul Coutts. Elegant, intelligent, passes accurately over a wide range. Always has the ball under control and it seems to belong at his feet. Appears to stroll because he has the quickness of thought and feet to find time and space where lesser mortals can't. Witness the winners against Bury and Cobblers. If people want to prefer Fleck or Duffy I'm content. I think they are fantastic too. The important thing is the three combine in a way that puts them heads and shoulders above any midfield in this league and, no doubt, many in the league above. Samir seems a quality lad too. Hope he's back soon.

All that said, If I had to nominate a player of the year right now? Step forward the "back from the wilderness", lion-hearted, indefatigable, defending, attacking, goal-poacher, bearded wonder. Kieron you're a star. You are The Beard, no-one else. What a lad!

As I said one of many including Moore, JOC, Freeman and EEL but it's only my opinion he's the best, no one has to go along with it, I was just putting it out there. Fleck is different gravy and I knew Coutts would get mentioned in the thread so I'm going to keep saying Fleck is different gravy until some of our fans realise. He does the dirty work aswell as the creative work all game, class in this league.

The bias Coutts gets is ridiculous compared to Fleck, Fleck needs appreciating more because he has given his all from the very start of his career with us. And after all, it is a thread on Fleck not Coutts.

Exactly.

There's more than enough adulation for Golden Boy already.

It's high time John Fleck had the appreciation he most certainly deserves.

Wiz, why play one off against the other, mate? We have the great pleasure of watching both of them! They are both Scots and there's no doubt they are a joy to watch together (and Duffy). I've no doubt at all that Couttsy (as I call him) and Flecky (as I don't) would praise each other to the rafters in equal measure. I bet they don't give a thought or a fuck as to which of them is better than the other. Neither do I really. I feel blessed to have them both in my team.

Thank Pele we can actually realistically discuss who is the best midfielder. A contrast to days not long ago when such a discussion would be risible and embarrassing. I'm a bit concerned about the antagonistic tone from some though. Just ❤ 'em all. They're all excellent. They all play for us!
