The three times he got caught in possession to put wolves on the counter were very poor, as was his pass straight out of touch when under no pressure whatsoever. It was also only a half chance but when McClean put a cross into the box and Fletcher arrived onto it, he proceeded to only get off the ground by two centimetres because he was that knackered from the little burst sprint to get there! I know it’s his first game of the season, but it was just starting where he left off last season, and that’s legs gone and done. Yes that's what he was doing last season.

Fletcher was finished two seasons ago! why is anyone surprised nothing has changed he should be nowhere near the squad let alone team. Factually that is incorrect as the season before last he played every game for West Brom and was considered by many to be amongst their best players. However I agree with you that he is past it now and needs to be replaced.

The three baggies fans I know tell a different story they also said Berahino was a total waster before we signed him I think based on their first hand knowledge I will stick with my thoughts, he was a very poor signing.

Would agree with that. Guy I know from work is a Baggies season ticket holder who is generally level headed and objective when it comes to talking about football. He texted me the day Fletcher signed and said he couldn't believe we'd taken him on - as whilst he had been a great signing for them initially - it was now (ie at the time we signed him) apparent his best days were behind him and his legs had gone. I posted this at the time - and have seen nothing since that suggests that my colleague was wrong.

He's shit. Surprised there's even a thread debating it. Poor signing, poor footballer, way past his best, will get trampled upon in the Championship.
Shouldn't be getting a look in.

I have to admit that I was sad to see Fletcher featuring in the team last night. There is no way that I will ever play down what he has achieved in his career and Fergueson has a very high opinion of him but sadly he has come to the end of his best playing days and I am very disappointed that Rowett is trying to persevere with him.

I can't believe that Rowett is even considering him.
And if he did actually think Fletcher played well it's very worrying.

Fletcher and Cameron are two who would not get elbow room as far as I'm concerned, along with Charlie!!!!!!

I can see Fletcher being used as a makeshift center half this season if we can't get a decent one through the door. pretty much how Carrick did at utd.

Q)Why IS he still here? (Same goes for Adam, Affellay, Cameron, Huagarrd, Berahinio, Diouf et al ) A) (cant move these useless fuckers on for love nor money perhaps?)

Unfortunately the unbalanced squad that Gary Rowett inherited from Mark Hughes is why some are still here as they are still under contract. It’s no quick fix. We have made a good start but it will be a while yet before we see Rowett squad in its entirety. A lot of work still to do.

Are we talking relegation instead of promotion now! He'd probably be the worst defender in the league, and somebody said Shawcross was slow!!!

To put it into context,
We got promoted and Leicester got relegated at the same time.
We had 10 years in the top league with all its riches and attractions.
In that time we have only sold arnie for any notable amount of money.
Look at what Leicester have managed to sign and sell for a huge amount of money,
Our scouting or set up to attract then sign is really poor. I don't know how cartwright is employed.

I've just be laughing about fletcher with the baggies fan I've met on holiday. He couldn't believe we'd signed him when it was clear his legs had left him.
We also had a good laugh about marc wilson and our ex managers love of left backs who aren't actually left backs

Fletcher should be nowhere near the first 11. Deecent player in his time but legs have gone. If he plays in any more than 5 games then we have problems. He just wont be able to keep up with the Championship.

The game passed him by, and Cameron, (one of my favourite players), was equally poor when he came on.

During the few seconds my stream was working,I'm sure I saw Fletcher turn and kick the ball back towards our halfway line from a McClean corner kick.

He is a million fucking miles from the standard he should be at.
Frankly, he should feel embarrassed by how far his performance level has dropped

A genuine question...does anyone know what has happened to Cameron's athleticism?
It was his one and only attribute but it has disappeared alarmingly.
