No I didn't. When did that happen? He was bloody awful as usual Awful as in fighting? I saw him make several 'yellow card' challenges and I say him running to corners to close defenders down. I don't back players or beat them unless there's just cause but to say he didn't have fight last night is wrong. Sideline him for other things but not for last night. Of course you are entitled to your opinion but I saw nothing different from fletcher. He can't really run anymore so all he can do is shadow runners without getting too close to them.there was an incident where he was left one-on-one after the ball was given away. He couldn't get near his opponent and it turned into yet another chance for man utd. In his head I'm sure he wants to get near, and be aggressive, he just can't manage it. He is woefully ineffective. He absolutely kills the team whenever he plays. That is my opinion of course

McCarthy and Long? May God have mercy on us. We are in a relegation battle. It is called a battle for a reason rather than a picnic or an adventure or a holiday. The idea of a relegation picnic has just made me chuckle to myself.

I couldn't give a shit if ran like a crab, he fought last night.

Whether it be through lack of fitness, lack of natural athleticism, lack of desire, it doesn't really matter. Fletcher is completely ineffective so he's part of the problem.

What we don't need is any more lightweights in the team that do not provide any strong midfield resistance. That is why Bojan would not work at the moment. Maybe if we had two tough tackling defensive midfielders we could afford the odd prima donna but at the moment its like a hot knife through butter going through our midfield and defense. Don't bring him back
