John Fleck

[Harry's Game]

Fleck Gets straight back in the midfield when fit, yes even the current iteration of Fleck.. Doyle and McAtee are too lightweight to play together in The Championship, rotate them in and out of game.

Doyle was brilliant today and shouldn’t be getting dropped for anyone

They just brushed past through the first hour

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Brewster gets his first goal of the season and we reward him by benching him for the next. Send Khadra back in January and use that wage elsewhere

 

[HarryHaslam]

They did but Doyle was our best player imo, even his corners are top notch. All about opinions though so not saying I’m right

Yeah definitely send Khadra back a complete waste of space.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Players get so much better in their absence don't they?
There's no way Fleck is an upgrade on Doyle.

 

[MJM]

Doyle has been fantastic since he's been introduced to the side. Don't think chucking a below par Fleck back in solves any of our problems at all.

I’d say RND just edged it. I wouldn’t drop Doyle just to get Fleck in.

I think you’re right . Been a consistent performer ever since he has been starting games. Very mature for his age and takes excellent corners. Cannot understand (unless still getting back to full fitness) why Hecky has subbed him so many times in the past

Drop McAtee and push Doyle further up then, we can't keep playing Doyle and McAtee together is what I’m saying

But missed a penalty, we have the worst £40m strike force I've ever seen. He may have scored last week but did very little else, yes a striker is judged on goals but with his strike rate you've gotta expect more with and without the ball.

You are though.

Hecky couldn’t have predicted that pre game though, he came on and caused problems for their defence & was the reason their centre half got sent off. No penalty is good if it’s missed, but he’s very unlucky. Sharp had a stinker vs Stoke & his reward is a start today?

In all honesty with them being a tall physical team it would have made more sense Anel & McBurnie starting over Osborn & Sharp?

Do you think Fleck will just come back fit straight away?

Totally agree with you but I think Sharp played OK today 1st half, but how is brewster ever going to hit any type of form if he's on the bench? Some of heckys decisions at times are baffling.

They brushed past every fucker

 

[Harry's Game]

Thats why I said “when fit” in the OP.. keep up old chap

 

[Sean Thornton]

He’s not mobile enough anymore. He’s injury prone. Plus how do we carry him until he’s match fit?

And then after 10 minutes of Fleck’s first game back you’ll be slagging him off in the shoutbox saying Hecky needs to get him off.

They just brushed past through the first hour

Who did ?

 

[Frank the tank]

Be a decent squad player
Macatee and Doyle did well today

 

[Tom Bott]

Do you think Fleck will just come back fit straight away?

Physically fit.
On the grass fit.

or match fit.

If you tick off all three is that a perfect fit

 

[Bladesman]

Be a decent squad player
Macatee and Doyle did well today

They did alright but it did feel like we were not winning the midfield battle often enough. Every second ball ended up with their player.

 

[bakeblade]

Fleck will take up to the break to get fit, he'll then lose that fitness during the World Cup.
Unless of course he gets injured again.
Like Bash, Enda and Billy the guys just about finished at this level.

No, Mcatee will get better, and the last 2 games has shown this, its not the mid it’s the awful back 3.
Bash needs retiring, he would not be starting if we weren’t desperate.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Fleck has been shite for the past 2 seasons.

I've thought further on this and after instantly dismissing it out of hand, I now think there might be some merit in it but not necessarily for the same reasons.

On an individual basis, I prefer Doyle to Fleck. However, we have been super-exposed through the middle of the park this month with teams running through at will.
I'm not sure whether Norwood and Doyle suit each other as a pairing, whereas Fleck does at least offer more of a defensive shield (when he's at it).

Doyle likes to roam and play in more advanced areas.
He might be more the answer to our Berge problem, than our Fleck problem.

It will all depend on which Fleck returns though.

I'd play Doyle Norwood Fleck in a CM three. Gives the wingbacks more licence to get forward and provides some cover for the defence.

I'd agree if we had some wing-backs available that were effective in the final third!

As it is, we don't.
So I'd rather stick to the two 10s creating.
