Fleming much better than Chicksen, for me. Bunney is always going to be plan A, though I’m wondering when we’re going to a chance to actually weigh him up

I'm struggling with how Fleming is much better than anyone.  He's not the worst player I've seen for us in the last 3 years, and yes he's quite tenacious and tidy on the ball, but he doesnt excel at anything. He's small, not quick, not strong, cant cross, no right foot and never passes more than 15 yards.  How can he be "much better" than Chicksen who was as consistent as anyone in our squad by common consent.

I had nothing against Chicksen as such, but he was our full back when we got beat 6-1 at Rotherham, our 3-1 home defeat to Rochdale , our 7-1 defeat at Accrington, the 2-0 defeat at Rochdale and the 3-4 home defeat to Burton.

22 goals shipped in, in 5 games.

I realize the rest of our defence (which chopped and changed many times) didn't exactly cover themselves in glory in those 5 games,i also realise Chicksen didn't have many out+out 'mares, but i certainly remember him being torn a new one a good few times.

I just prefer Fleming there tbh and it might be a coincidence, but i think we've yet to take a battering with him playing at full back.

He has pace, can dribble, can get defenders back pedalling, he’s far from the finished article but that might help us to sign him next season, played right he’s an asset at this level.

Slightly different circumstances with it being red button but I’m sure we had about 185 somewhere last season - Middlesbrough maybe or Bristol City?

That Friday night cup tie must've been pretty low

Fuck me...triers are something we dont lack

Then we get somebody who can play and find faults with his 'getting stuck in'

Oh do fuck off. It wasnt a comment about getting stuck in it was a comment about him going nowhere near a challenge that might have even had a chance of getting him injured.

Hes far too good for league 2 and will probably get kicked to pieces.

And my iptv was impeccable but I'm not telling you how to get it now.

Worst I can recall 2a picture of in recent years was Wolves away in a night match, 12th Feb 2016

Was anyone there to confirm there was less than 228?

2 BWFC players scored for Wolves and Silva and Dobbie scored for us.

I was there as was working down that way. No idea how many were there. We were shit they were no better. Slightly different paths since.
