DamienM855 413 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Bringing a bit of optimism to the board (as much as I feel sick)...John Fleck really looked as though he'd got his act together today, he was quick, lively, and although they didn't lead to any goals, he made some fantastic passes and some great runs that weren't picked up by any of the other players.Hemmings wasn't too shabby either. (although the rest of the team were I suppose..) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,674 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Fleck looked good Hemmings, although he didn't do much due to us down to 7 men and no midielders, looked decent and actually looking like he wanted to win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland 76 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Fleck was probably our second best player today after McGregor. Which shows how woeful our team really was. He should get a few starts over the next few games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although the rest of the team were I suppose..)Totally agree with this. The one thing we wernt doing all afternoon was exploiting the width and having an extra player overlapping on the wing, Fleck did this twice and was ignored by both broadfoot and whitt's (who both subsequently played dire balls into the box).Good point mate, Hope he starts the next game up top with Jela.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He appeared to be the only player confident enough to trap a ball and play a pass along the ground without making a complete arse of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 No use having one player on his game when the rest couldnt be arsed. Well done John son, good shift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryTibbs 224 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Lets hope he picks up from here thenWas reading articles and watching footage of the 17 year old Fleck the other day and it made me sad Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He's at the age now that most players come through at, so I don't see why anyone thinks he's finished.Good shift today, and his ground passes actually stay on the ground, not bobble to the target (midfield, take note).

GaryMc 2,398 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He looked good then got shunted to the right which was unfair. Davis should have been put out to the right when Hemmings came on, not Fleck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds_Bear 8,145 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 For the short period he was on, you are correct. Its amazing what getting the ball down and passing it to a team mate can do!

Clemdog 39,389 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Deserves his starting place. Glad to see we haven't resorted to putting him on the wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienM855 413 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I believe that, If Fleck can fulfil the potrntial he showed as a youngster, he could become a far more important player to us than Davis, Jelavic, and potentially even McGregor.

We have been lucky in the past few weeks IMO, although we have been grinding out the wins, there has been no cutting edge. Naisy will be sorley missed unless we can sort out the way we play as a team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
