Fletcher too good for SWPL, is he good enough for Div 1
- Thread starter Ottawa Green
- Start date
DA see's him play every day in training. He's a pretty successful, professional football manager.
Why on earth does anybody on here that's watched him in a couple of cameos think they know better?

I agree to some extent. This debate has come along because we 'can't hit a cows arse with a banjo' at this moment in time! People are just expressing opinions and putting things out there to discuss.
I agree too – and the fact he brought him on at all (even when a goal down & down to ten men) shows he clearly rates him so we’re just querying whether Adams is being too conservative in not starting him. Talented youngsters often do well when first thrown into the deep end by playing with energy, fearlessness and exuberance but it is not uncommon for them then to quickly plateau and go through a lean spell before hopefully developing again. That even happened to Marcus Rashford at Manure – he is now coming out the other side into a ‘mature’ player but the initial baptism has to happen and we haven’t got many options at the moment – so why not?999mattyg":2msi3xc9 said:

Approximately forty more league matches and our League One status.
Other than that it is a totally pressure free situation for all involved.
He's definitely got potential. Shows aggression in the box but from the little I've seen of him looked to struggle physically against the L1 Defenders. The other night he looked to be easily shrugged off the ball by the MK players even late in the game as they, presumably, tired.
His time will come. The problem being, deciding when it is. If we had better cover in that area, a loan out to a lower League might help. Regular football at a reasonable level at another teams risk (results wise) would be helpful.
One thing he doesn't need is the pressure of expectation from being 'one of our own' .

Not at the moment he aint! He's a pretty unsuccessful manager currently!
All of our development players first year pros and apprenticeses should be far too good for the SWPL
It does serve a purpose in giving the lads game time locally and therefore saves transport costs
Taking step up is always going to be difficult and applies to all such players at the 92 league clubs - to play at league level the players need experience at that level and being given a run in the team and therefore is a long term commitment and why so many Nearly made it pros are loaned out
But the managers need instant results - just look at the comments on here lately - and will obviously think short term
I'm sure we all remember Alan Hansens comments about Fergies kids - need to leave it to the manager to know how who is ready

Blissett is not league one standard but I would say after seeing every game he's been involved in ciftci is league one standard and I believe after getting a goal he will be a different player. Fletcher is not ready for league one, probably not even league 2 level needs to go out on loan.

There wouldn't be if I was, which I wasn't. Off the top of my head I couldn't remember how to spell his name( I struggle to even say it) so described him factually. I'm neither hostile or suspicious of him.
