See Ashley Fletchers done well since he left Boro

No heart and missed so many games with “niggles”. Took us for much more of a ride than Britt who at least was generally fit and scored a few goals.

There will be someone along shortly to tell us “there’s a player in there somewhere ”. There isn’t
I thought he brought much more to the table than Britt

I didn’t. Britt was limited but was pretty handy against most championship defences.

Fletcher has been hopeless everywhere, including the loan spell at Sunderland and his 3 clubs since us.

Not his fault we wasted 7M on him though. 1M max would have been about right.

Can't believe he ended up playing 92 times for us!

Fletcher didn’t get the chances early on.. he looked the better player.. then got injured.
 
He had a run of being half decent up front with Britt (under Woodgate I think) but then he seemed to lose his motivation and never really hit those heights again. I think there was always potential there, but I think everything he's done since leaving Boro shows he won't reach it.
