Steven Fletcher
Signed for Wrexham. 36 years old now, he will score plenty of goals at that standard.

Re: Steven Fletcher
Excellent player Fletcher and has had a very good career. A very, very good signing for us and he could possibly have kept us up, but for that weird hand injury sustained when on international duty with Scotland which kept him out at the most vital of times and that really did cost us dear.

Re: Steven Fletcher
We’d had stayed up if he could finish. Missed some sitters for us and was overrated by fans. His ‘first touch’ masked a lot of his poor attributes

Re: Steven Fletcher
Hardly a prolific goal scorer throughout his career but in league two he should be handy to have, even at 36
Good luck to him
Good luck to him

Re: Steven Fletcher
One of those ex Claret strikers that everybody liked - but, as with Juke, the stats are less than impressive.

Re: Steven Fletcher
We'd have stayed up with VAR.... the amount of onside goals he scored that were wrongly ruled out for offside was unbelievable.gandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 6:33 pmWe’d had stayed up if he could finish.

Re: Steven Fletcher
His touch was like Velcro. He was the first player I felt that it didn’t matter how hard the passes were to him, or how distant they were from, he seemed to control them. His scoring record wasn’t as impressive but I liked him.

Re: Steven Fletcher
I still find it astonishing that a professional footballer playing at Premier League and International level can only kick a football in the direction he intends with one of his two feet. Great is not a word I’d use to describe him - adequate, perhaps.

I suppose it's better to be good with one foot than to be average with bothCheshireclaret wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 10:44 pmI still find it astonishing that a professional footballer playing at Premier League and International level can only kick a football in the direction he intends with one of his two feet.

Re: Steven Fletcher
What a load of rubbish. He scored 8 in 35 in a relegated team which apart from Chris Wood has probably only been bettered (post 70's) in a single season by Barnes in his career best purple patch.
After leaving us he hit double figures in his next three Premier League seasons which seems to be the benchmark we measure Wood by in being probably the best goal scorer we've has in the last 30-40 years
Fletcher was absolutely class and much more than just a goal scorer and its no surprise that amongst the squad of emphatic overachievers Coyle took into that Premier League season he was the one player in demand when we went down

Re: Steven Fletcher
Ings was the best I recall from that era when we first went up/went back up. He demanded it driven at him and first touch was immaculate.Claretforever wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 10:25 pmHis touch was like Velcro.

Trips was similar but with more floated passes out wide. He’s pull it down like it was on a piece of string over his shoulder.

I'm not a mathemagician but I calculate that average + average = good, and that good + bad = average. therefore you are wrong, right?boatshed bill wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 10:49 pmI suppose it's better to be good with one foot than to be average with both
