WhiteOwl91 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 If a player was going to fake an injury or otherwise to protect himself... Wouldn't he just ring in sick? Or 'fake' that injury on the training ground the day before? Or refuse to play? If you were going to fake it you wouldn't say during a game was the normal place to do so?

Had to laugh saw Forestieri hit a 101st minute winner in malaysia from 25 yards and run into the crowd. Few highlight reels a season nowadays and not a lot else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed a bit strange to me too. Just had a look at the data and he didn't start a game for more than three months after he went off injured in his last game for us, with only sub appearances for Stoke before that. Coincidentally, in his first appearance for Stoke he came on as sub to replace Lee Gregory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanyowls Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Who would make it into a Biscuit Knee FC for Wednesday? Almen and Wim have to feature surely? Would Fletcher get in the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I was a massive fan of Fletcher, especially in that season where he virtually kept us up with his goals in the first half of the season. But although it took me a little white to shine to him, Lee Gregory is just the better player all round - he's like Fletcher with a poacher instinct. And for that reason, I'm out.

sexpistol Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Where is the actual evidence that Fletcher faked an injury? As for having him back? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Gregory is a better player than Fletcher. There’s a reason why one of them has spent a lot of his career in the premiership and the other one in either L1 or the champ. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We need younger, quicker strikers to support Gregory. Fletcher was a good player, but he's 34 now? and wasn't exactly blessed with pace in his pomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit pace is always a bonus. Ironically there's only Paterson who has that presence in the air for us now, definitely one of our weak links against tough sides. Im not advocating we get Fletcher back btw, at 35 i cant imagine injuries arent going to take over, but someone of that mould would do us some good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting mixed up with how good a player has been in his career, versus how good they are now. As each player is now, Gregory is the better player for us.

Might need a long subs bench too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the fact that Gregory left Stoke because he was behind Fletcher in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
