steve fletcher is an honest pro and an allround good bloke,but he certainly wasnt quality,he was past it,his legs had gone and he hardly scored any goals,he was absolutely useless if we broke fast from a set piece,slower than a bransons bus and playing him meant ward played out left in some games when he is an out and out striker,id like to know how many of lesters goals were from fletchs assists,id guess it would be a small percentage
So what? Fletcher drags defenders out of position, he was often double-marked, and that exploits a gap. Just because he didn't get the last touch fto set up a goal, doesn't mean he was any less important that the final touch.

Ah, so let's keep playing exactly the same way, and let Rico get hammered for having no "Plan B".
