Very rarely mentioned on here! Was a lovely player - better than Hamer - yeah I said it. Good morning all. Have a fabulous day

covcity4life · Jan 23, 2021

He was good and some people didn't see it. Thay said imo hes not better than hamer. Not in a sky blue shirt I mean. Obv he has gone on to prem success with Sheffield utd. We will see how hamers career pans out.

I think his fitness issues let him down
Fitness I mean keeping the weight off
When he was lean he was very good

Blind-Faith · Jan 23, 2021

Was a good player for sure , but I am surprised how good he’s looked in the PL

Ccfcisparks · Jan 23, 2021

Fantastic player and truly underrated by fans on here considering some of the shite he was surrounded with at times

Liquid Gold · Jan 23, 2021

He was asked to play a role he wasn't fully comfortable with here. The only time he really shone was when paired with Vincelot who did his dirty work for him. Was clearly a good player but I am surprised how good he's been.

Magwitch · Jan 23, 2021

Always a good player and how the gormless cretins running our club allowed him to run out of contract and leave for sweet f/a is a joke.

Dickie · Jan 23, 2021

Don’t think he’s looked good this season in a struggling team

covhead1 · Jan 23, 2021

I wish we still had him, as for being better than Hamer, maybe......... Maybe not.

clint van damme · Jan 23, 2021

Just like Walsh last year when asked to play too deep he had a mistake in him.
Very good footballer when played in the right position.

mmttww · Jan 23, 2021

One of the best midfield performances I saw live in League 1 or League 2 was him and Connor Thomas away at Wolves. He always looked to progress the bell - not fussed about bollocks pass completion stats or retaining possession for the sake of it. In his last season or two with us he was a cut above.

ceetee · Jan 23, 2021

I was excited when we picked Fleck up from Rangers because he was always seen as a potentially top level player, but I never thought that he played up to that potential with us. Perhaps he needed to be in a better team. Strange you should mention Conor Thomas as there is an article about him in today's Daily Telegraph. I thought he used to cruise around midfield looking confident in possession, but he never seemed to know what to do with the ball

Fleck was a good player for us - the fitness thing was a myth - he was high energy and better than any player in that role we’ve had since - it’s too early to say on Hamer

Superb player for us. Under appreciated by many.

He has the sane physique as Hamer

The fitness thing wasn’t a myth at all, he visibly looked about a stone lighter at Sheff Utd than at any stage with us.

Terry Gibson's perm · Jan 23, 2021

He was a very good first half player but nearly always tailed off after half time, he looks in better condition now. A lad I know played youth football with him and said he was an amazing young player.

Completely agree.

He was fond of a beer when he was here and at Rangers
May have moderated it a bit once he got the higher level

for half a season or so under Pressley, Fleck and Thomas were crucial to us. Most weeks they performed very well and Clarke and Wilson were able to prosper partially because of how reliable they were as the engine room.

They moved on, one to a team who got promoted out of League One all the way to the Prem (and to full international status on the way) the other went to the lower league, India and then Swindon.

As for letting his contract run out, it happens everywhere. If a player doesn’t want to sign a contract (from Kieran Westwood with us to Erikkssen at Spurs last season) there’s nothing a club can do.
Nevertheless I find it particularly galling when people moan about players leaving us at the end of their contract but fail to notice when they do exactly the same to join us.

Wilder definitely got the best from fleck

Stripes are scientifically proven to have a slimming effect
That's why the Geordies and mackems love their kits

Not only that it's in his genes,you only have to look at his arms ,if he was in trousers his pockets would be too deep.
Parsimony is a national trait.

But..................................................................is he better than Shipley?

Even Hickman is better than fleck JB

procdoc · Jan 25, 2021

Met Fleck in Benidorm a few years ago when he was still our player, he seemed a decent lad

Joy Division · Jan 25, 2021

A classy player that was underappreciated at times and very much missed when he left.

Joy Division · Jan 25, 2021

The summer 2016 lowdown Will Fleck Stay?

He wasn't going to sign a new deal here regardless.

fernandopartridge · Jan 25, 2021

I don't think there was ever a doubt about his quality, he was a very good footballer with a great brain. The most disappointing thing about his move to Sheffield was how it made him drop at least a stone, which brought some sharpness and allowed him to get forward more. I don't understand why he didn't do that here? Was it training methods or was it that he couldn't be arsed?
That said, remember reading a story once that he tended to be in the last two or three in bleep tests, so he was obviously fit just not at the level he subsequently got to.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Jan 25, 2021

In my opinion Fleck was one of the best players we have had in recent years especially during the 2015-16 season

Adge · Jan 25, 2021

I think we only seen the real player when Vincelot was alongside him. Dross like Thomas and Barton et al didn’t do him any favours.

JulianDarbyFTW · Jan 25, 2021

Has he really been gone for only 4 or 5 years? I'd have guessed at 8 or 9 years, which doesn't make sense now I've googled his age, but it just feels soooo long ago.

lordy_87 · Jan 25, 2021

Makes me laugh when I see people say Hamer won't play in the premiership when the likes of Fleck, Norwood, Jack Stephens and Jack Cork are regulars in it.
