LinkNR9 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Having been at the game again and having watched the match highlights on TV for the third time tonight, I''m convinced that Craig Fleming needs to be "rested". He was at fault for both of Bolton''s goals today, misjudging his header for the first one and losing Hierro for the second one. He''s become an increasing liability in defence over the past 4 or 5 matches and is also the reason that we sit so deep. Replace him with Shacks, so that our back four is Eddy/Doherty/Shackell/Charlton, and we stand a chance of some respectable defensive performances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted December 13, 2004 I have got to agree - he is not quite there yet but he is very quickly catching up for worst defender of the season - Eddies record is looking better by the day On Saturday Flem was abysmal in his reading of the game, positioning and pace. A glare and a chase headlessly after a ball from defence to midfield then wide is not defending - school boys have greater discipline. He was Bolton best creator of space for their forwards and the quicker he is dropped the better. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
