Will Fletcher be the Missing Piece of the Jigsaw?

My column for Hartlepool Mail - is he the one player that score in the air and the ground and convert the new wingers crosses?

I'd say he is the best piece to force in there until we can find the right actual piece.

 

[ForssAwakens]

I find him fairly clumsy. Agree with indeedios sentiments

 

[Hicktonpen10]

Feels like a classic case of a player's stock rising while they are out of the team. Personally I have never thought wow what a team we will be when Fletcher is back.

 

[alanmoodysdog]

hes no Hughie Mcilmoyle, he is a really decent nice chap but as we talking footie he is a average to below average champo striker.... capable of moments of skill

 

[Konrad_the_Barbarian]

If he's the answer............. WTF is the question

Rob would you be kind enough to paste the article on here as The Mail is locked unless you subscribe ?

Who is the best player out of the pretty average options we have up front?

Watmore is a wide forward for me before anyone states him. But I feel he should play too. Or you go with a 2 up top he can do that job

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Depends what the jigsaw is of. If it's something like tower bridge probably not. More likely to be an American tourist wearing a kagoul and shorts.

 

[Konrad_the_Barbarian]

Who is the best player out of the pretty average options we have up front?

Or who is the least worse

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Hopefully the lads thinking he's the man have seen his form in training and it bears no resemblance to the rest of his Boro career.

 

[HundredRoom]

Funny when you haven't seen a player for a while you seem to think that he was brilliant. However not sure he played in the BA role that many times. I think he could be. Would love to see him start tomorrow.

 

[McBrid]

Or who is the least worse

Either way gets the same answer. We have what we have and we need to use what we have so no point whinging about it now until season end

 

[MVBoro]

Based on the few minutes from when he came back - then no way. He looked way off the pace. Needs to bust a gut to somehow get his fitness back and then he’ll be another option. Personally can’t see him or Britt being here after the summer.

 

[Teesside_Steel]

I’d be tempted to try Watmore through the middle, swapping / changing with Kebano and Bolasie.
But yes, Fletcher deserves his chance too.

 

[Craggsy2]

It’s a NO from me. He’s way too lightweight with no presence based on what I’ve seen of him previously.

 

[Steer]

I don't like any of our striker options to be honest. Are they all rubbish, or is it a problem with the way that we are setup to play?

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Sometimes you've just got to do your best with what you've got.

 

[Badonde]

Fantastic physique.
Good touch for a big bloke.
Weirdly unimposing.
Has scored 3 headers I think, 2 were own-goals.

After 2 and a half years with us I'd say he's practically a first teamer now.
