rfc_no1fan 13 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 While i don't doubt that fleck deserves a chance I can't help but wonder if this is an attempt to develop a bit of positive feeling among our fans? Have to say the thought had crossed my mind. Bit too cynical for me haha, lose lose isnt it for Walter How is it lose lose? If he plays, we are a better team If he doesnt, we are a worse team Its a no brainer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays, we are a better team If he doesnt, we are a worse team Its a no brainer Its win win really. He will get the fans behind him for playing Fleck in an important game, and our team will ultimately be improved with him in the side. Even if Fleck has a bad game, Walter will still get praise for giving him his chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets slated for NOT playing young players, and, if he plays him, its to "keep us quite" :tongue: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy WATP 86 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Watched the interview on RTV and Smith did look passionate when talking about him Derek Ferguson thinks he will start on saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 About time. Although I fully expect Walter to leave him out as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

polar bear 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Lets hope he gets his chance Definately an attempt at appeasing the fans.Problem is, he will probably start him at right back. All joking aside,great news,if indeed he is serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,708 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Drop Miller and give Fleck the free-role in behind Boyd any more balls like that one to davis v st johnstone, but to boyd and we will be laughing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 So Walter doesn't play Fleck & the posts are "He will NEVER give youth a chance" .... now there is the very good chance he will play Fleck & we get posts like "Just playing him to shut us up". Personally, i am glad to see him getting a chance, no matter how it comes around, hipefully he will grab it & show the coaching staff he deserves to be in the team.

Amac9 2,060 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If Fleck is given a chance I hope it is in his correct position of just behind the strikers. Not out left where he may get marked out of the game with our tactics of hoof it as far up the park as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Now Fleck could be given the chance to show what he can do in one of the forthcoming matches against the likes of Falkirk, Aberdeen, Dundee United or Forfar Athletic. So he'll start against Forfar i take it, juicy. DBBTB got it in one for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Good, he is the first player from the youth lads that should get the chance, before Aaron and anyone else that matter. Then, after that McMillan because we are crying out for a good RB Aaron has been more impressive than Fleck over the past few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornelius11 74 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Id love to see wee fleck get a chance. He has so much potential i think it would be a crime not try and bleed him into a first team regular. I mean, if Charlie Adam did it Im sure as hell fleck could.

Chookes 20 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Aaron has been more impressive than Fleck over the past few months. How long was Fleck out for? I've only read good things about his reserve performance since he's come back from his injury. Personally, I'd love to see both of them get more run outs.

Dalrybear 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 So.... Why was he only given 10 minutes at St Johnstone? He hasn't featured since last season, gets ten minutes and suddenly he is going to get a start? Erm...I doubt it to be honest. A few more 5 minutes....maybe.

Or just maybe Smith is staying true to his own counsel on players. As Smith says - if he is GOOD enough he is old enough - and just maybe he is GOOD enough!
