Thought he had an excellent game today, could be an inspired signing this season.

Thought he often took too many touches.
Apart from that, looked very good.

Massive upgrade on Whelan. We look a much better team without Whelan/Walters in the team. A lot of positives from today.

He's a very solid experienced player who likes to pass forward in attack and on the inverse, he likes a good tackle and looks to slow their play in defence. He doesn't like being left alone on the ball and expects movement. I like his style and think we've got a good un in him. Hopefully he gets some lazy bastards in front of him moving off the ball for runs. Barring him or Cameron, I couldn't think of a better performance overall today. Excited to have him lead the midfield with Geoff or Allen helping him. Could quickly become a vital player on the sheet I think.

Was always looking to move the ball forward and did so with some accuracy. Will be a big asset if he continues to play like that

He's excellent but very slow.

Was impressed with Fletcher. Tired 2nd half

He's an intelligent, cool head with a range of passing. Looks like he could be a fine addition.

He'll be a fantastic addition but we now need two signings.
1) His younger and ultimate replacement (May I suggest Philip Billing at Huddersfield?). This can be done either now or January. 2) A mobile destroyer alongside him to help his ageing legs, and to maximise his output by getting the ball and giving it to him on a more frequent basis.

If Whelan had played like that he'd have been slaughtered. I like Glenn and was as good a 500k this club have ever spent but Fletcher was way better than Glenn today. He played very well today and no disrespect but Fletch is so much better at football then Glenn will ever be.

Good performance from him. However I thought Allen was everywhere.

I didn't say Fletcher played badly but if Whelan had lost as many challenges as he did and gave the ball away as often, he'd have been slaughtered. Same with Erik had he crossed it as badly as zouma did or had he made the mistake zouma did.

Very good game. He take a few to many touches at times but that was because he had no outlets. Massive upgrade on Whelan !!!!

Look out for two recurring DF themes as the season develops....
Takes too many touches.
Gives the ball in dangerous midfield positions.
