davieG Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 From OS Matty Eyes Home Start New-boy Matty Fryatt is hoping to begin a love affair with the Leicester fans at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday. Fryatt made his debut for the Foxes as a second half substitute in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday last weekend. But now back on home soil the 19-year-old striker says he can't wait to get a taste of the action in front of his new supporters. He said: "I'm really looking forward to playing at the Walkers Stadium should i be selected to play this weekend. I had a good look round the ground when I signed and now I can't wait to get out on to the pitch. "I watched the FA Cup win over Spurs on television just before I signed and the atmosphere was fantastic. Hopefully it will be just the same against Cardiff." Defeat at Hillsborough saw the Foxes slip into the relegation places for the first time, but Fryatt remains confident. He added: "After being here for just over a week I can't see any reason why we can't go up the league and away from the relegation zone. I can see things turning around." And the Nuneaton-born frontman, who has 14 goals to his name already this season, has seen it all before. He added: "I have been in a similar position in the league to this when I was at Carlisle on loan and also during my time at Walsall. If I can help to turn Leicester's fortunes around then that would be great." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 That's the only saving grace of young players, especially new ones. They are immune to the dark cloud that is currently position over our club and it could be the difference. It's a big ask but if he hits the ground running and gets a goal tomorrow he might well have the confidence to score us some crucial goals. The good thing about Fryatt is he's a penalty taker, which is a very good opportunity to get an early goal in your career if one comes along. We've had alot of penalties this season and one tomorrow for the new boy would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 but if we dont get a penalty until joey is back who will get them? it would be unfair to take them off joey, IMO, as he hasnt missed 1 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen what happened to Hume, Connolly, Elvis and MDV when you don;t score in your first few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 but fryatt seems the type that would be more likely to creat his on goal where as the others are more dependant on service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 Good lad! He's got an opportunity to be a legend, his goals could drag us to safety. Lets hope he'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 but fryatt seems the type that would be more likely to creat his on goal where as the others are more dependant on service Every striker is dependant on service to some extent. I thought that Fryatt was the type who would be especially dependant as apparently he's a goal hanger, six-yard man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was kind of my understanding as well, that he was very much a Gary Lineker type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Harpic Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 i was judging by some of his goals he scored for walsal, that i saw on world I think he's primarily a Lineker-esque poacher, a fox in the box if you'll excuse the lame pun. The thing with goal-hangers like that is that, once they've got a few tap-ins under their belt and confidence is running high, they start to try the more audacious stuff. As an example I'm thinking of Robbie Fowler. He's scored some impressive goals out of nothing, but his bread-and-butter was always putting away simple chances well and being in the right place at the right time. Fryatt, I think, will be the same. He'll start off by finishing chances others create for him and then, when he's been playing in the team for a while more of his goals will come as a result of him creating his own chances. If that makes sense. I've only written all that so he scores a hattrick of individualist goals tomorrow to make me look like a fool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOFF CRUDDLE Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 You've got Fryatt all wrong. Yes he's a finisher and takes whatever chances come his way but he creates or starts most of the moves that lead to his goals himself, including his pens. Even if Gudjonsson hasn't missed a pen, believe me if Fryatt wins a pen, he won't be letting anyone else take it. He'll score tomorrow, I'll put money on it.

SCOFF CRUDDLE Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 Well I've missed out on the Euro Millions Lottery Jackpot so I could do with a few quid. Fryatt as first scorer and Leicester to win 2-1. Always went down well for us when playing at Bescot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes_Wizard_Striker Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 It don't really matter whether he is "creating chances for himself" type or a goal poacher snapping on rebounds and great passes etc as we got best record for making chances in the league so either way would benfit the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOFF CRUDDLE Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 Like I've said on other threads, if you create chances he'll score. He only needs a couple of chances to score a goal so it sounds like he's just what you need if you're creating more chances than anyone else.

Chimp Posted 20 January 2006 Share Posted 20 January 2006 As long as he knows where the back of the net is and can put the ball in there on a regular basis then I'll be happy. In fact, more than happy, bloody estatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
