John Fleck...and we start the bidding at.....?

[Stretch]

.....Pick a figure, chuffing immense again.

We could seriously struggle to keep him beyond the summer, without a big uplift to the wage structure.

 

[metalblade]

Thought he was poor tonight

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Thought he was poor tonight

We were poor all over the park tonight, but I'll take the 3 points thank you

 

[blademark]

Yeah, I was cursing him up to the goal. Was better when Mousett and Besic came on.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Much better second half. When fleck isn't on it we're not on it.

 

[Cassius Kray]

Deserves a lot of credit for the goal, but his overall game was far from the best by his standards.

 

[highgreenintokyo]

Poor first half from Fleck. Was more involved and more proactive in the second.

 

[cc1]

Coventry have offered 250k

 

[Stretch]

To add to my opening post. I agree that it was a poor game overall, especially 1st half where the whole team looked flat.

But 2nd half he was like a man possessed. Still a bit scrappy at times, but he had them terrified.

200M.

[wavy-blade]

Should have scored get rid ! Despite his MOTM award ! Fleckieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[blade too long]

On reflection not one of our best
1st half was 2 sides closing down well
The goal really changed the game . We should have killed it off

Their manager saying they were worth a point; maybe more post match was laughable. 2 good free kicks from Snodgrass covers their second half efforts

 

[varkanoid]

Fleck was poor in the first half. Post match Sky commentary he even said it himself they were not good enough.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Shit tonight, not good enough for Scotland

 

[dc_blade]

Pretty poor first half but was excellent once the game opened up in the second.

 

[North somerset blade]

Better second half but like all of them he never hides

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Thought he was poor tonight

Agree first half - 2nd half he dominated the game, if you didn't notice that I have a Labrador for sale, comes with a white stick and dark glasses.

 

[Ricky]

He is just unbelievable.

He's pissing the Premier League. Surprise surprise! Rises to every challenge in front of him with no fuss. And that's 4 goals and 2 assists now.

Deserved MOTM.

There was never any doubt he'd pass for the goal. I wish he'd be more selfish sometimes, but his unwavering selflessness sums him up.

 

[The Hobott]

Best player on the pitch tonight, albeit with little competition

He passed because he still doubts his ability to score. He shouldn't because he can score from all ranges, this is the last piece of the jigsaw Fleck needs,

Passing was the right thing though. McBurnie could have made it look wrong because he fucked up that finish.

Above anything else Fleck is just an incredible team player. Absolutely top marks for teamwork, defensively and offensively.

When McGoldrick goes off Fleck pushes further up behind Moose and becomes much more effective.

the love in with McG will end soon unless he can affect results and score goals like Moose and McB. We were noticeably better after the sub. Just sayin!

 

[Gareth Kay]

Thought he was poor tonight

Poor first half our best player 2nd.

 

[Trigger Blade]

His awareness and vision and speed of thought to close down the defender, which meant he could pick up the poor pass from the keeper, was outstanding. That, coupled with his selflessness to knock the ball across to McBurnie was also excellent.

Below par performance all round, but happy for him to get MOM, although McBurnie would have got my vote.

I am definitely in the McG fan club but I think you may well be right.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Poor first half (like a few tbh), very good second half.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Had a very poor first half with the rest of em, particularly Lunny.
Upped his game second but wouldn’t say he was immense.
My favourite Blades player (with Coutts) in many many years, but even he would say he was ok...nothing more.

he, like many was poor on the ball, dithered a lot and lost a fair few battles. However,got a great assist, should have had another and came close to scoring...though also should have had at least 2 more strikes at goal and opted to pass instead.

so far from immense I’m afraid.

 

[knowsnowt]

I ❤ you John.

 

[PokerBlade]

I'm a staunch Adkinsian when it comes to recognising faults in John Fleck's game.

Whatever evidence you put forth I'll just insist you didn't see everything else.
