davieG Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 any views on this surely some people agree fryatt should be dropped he was awful against coventry, luton, ipswitch and burnley Everyone was awful against Luton & Burnley, lots of media reports and fan's views had Kisnorbo, Hughes and Fryatt vying for MOM against Ipswich and had a perfectly good goal disallowed. As for last night for all the contribution that Hammond made and the support he got from midfield it's hardly surprising you think he's poor, you need to look at the bigger picture. At one stage he had four players trying to take the ball off him with very little practical support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandannieldanok Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 I personally thought Fryatt was excellent last night. His running at the back four was impressive and with more support from midfield thespace will open for him to score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 i'd still bring o'grady in for tuesday night against macclesfield and drop elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 i was at the game last night and alot of supporters opinions is that once one goes in they'll start to fly in. his hold up play is good, he runs at the defence and can turn them inside out easily. ive also just watched the game on sky and they said once one goes in he will bang them in for fun. dont drop fryatt. drop hammond, get hume in, put COG on the bench as he (imo) is better than hammond all round.

Parsons Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 actually id have to agree with droping Fryatt for a game i think he is a fantastic player, but like Stearman he needs to be taught a lesson or 2 about fighting for his place for the Macclesfield game i think we should go Hume + Hammond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Fox Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 Absolute rubbish! We need another striker to play up front who can support Fryatt; he was the only player that looked like scoring against cov last night. I can't see the point in Elvis being in the starting line up because he’s bloody useless. I've been quite disappointed with Hume's contributions so far as well. I would like to see O'Grady play along side Fryatt with Dodds or Hume on the bench. Fryatt is a quality player and stood out last night but the problem is there isn't any support or quick thinking quality players around him in the team to get the very best out of him.

Thracian Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 Any striker needs support from midfield and the proper kind of service. While Low did well in getting crosses in, they were all high and had little chance of success. Porter tried to play his final ball to feet and that's what's needed with Fryatt/Hume/Dodds/Hammond. As for the midfielders, they tried but offered nothing significant numerically or creatively. Only O'Grady has any aerial ability - though he's no Duncan Ferguson.

Parsons Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 Fryatt did have some fantastic chances to score but was unable to put them away, this has happend in the past few games now where he looks certain to score, yet doesnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 Fryatt was great last night, made chances out of nothing and was unlucky that 2 good efforts were deflected just after he struck them. Remember he was playing for 55 minutes on his own basically (Elvis offers no support or no threat) and then for a lot of the second half we sat deep.

Ultra Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 Our local education authorities should be congratulated for their work with "special needs" pupils, even during holiday times! That's the only reason I can think of why a thread like this would be started. We've drawn three blanks from our first four games, but that has more to do with a non-functioning midfield than with the failings of our strikers Even Thierry Henry would have struggled to score with the service Fryatt has had in some games this year. Let him play against Macc on Tuesday, and I guarantee the goal drought will end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikers always go through these patches without a goal it happens to the best of them. Patience is key here, it would be ridiculous to drop him when he contributes so much to this team. He was very unlucky last night not to score, he managed to create chances for himself out of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time we saw him in a first team shirt. But be patient. He does things but quietly. He's the sort that'll go unnoticed til he scores. Dodds/O'Grady to start, Fryatt/Hume to follow. With Weso, Sheehan, Porter and Gradel also inolved you'll have a significant part of our most successful Academy players operating together, as they are used to. Something like: Logan; Stearman (needs the run out), McCarthy, Kisnorbo, Sheehan; Gradel, Wesolowski, Hughes, Porter, Dodds, O'Grady. Subs: Nils, McAuley, Johnson, Hume, Fryatt. Be worth watching that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoooom Posted 19 August 2006 Author Share Posted 19 August 2006 fryatt should have scored at the last chance of the game yesterday but he was so weak he couldn't get past 1 defender if that was o grady it was a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitesh Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 Its not Fryatt thats the problem! Its getting the service and support up to him. The only way you can get the best out of a player like Fryatt is if you provide him with the service. We all know he can score goals! Last season we were aided by the brilliant service from Joey. I also think he needs a supporting striker who can flick the ball on to him! Maybe dropping him isnt he best idea! I dont think it will do much IMO. You could look at playing differently against Macc and see if that helps. A few goals against them would do his confidence a world of good! So i think we should play him!

oundlefox Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 There's no way Fryatt is going to get dropped. He is a one-man band up front at the moment and in my opinion doing a superb job. Yeah, he's missed a couple of decent chances but he's basically playing up top on his own with little or no support next to him. He doesn't look like he enjoys playing with Hammond and that's obvious because good old Elvis confirmed last night against Cov that he shouldn't be on the bench, let alone in the starting 11. Fryatt's frustrations at the lack of support and decent service were evident against Burnley when he got booked for kicking the ball in the air. That showed his frustration and also showed how desperate he is to do well. I thought he had another good game last night, leading the line on his tod with Hammond doing another AWOL act. Fryatt looks happier when he partners Hume and at least it looks like they have a little bit of an understanding together. Last night with Hammond it looked like they'd just met each other in the tunnel for the first time. There's only one Matty Fryatt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJ Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 I thought Fryatt did very well last night, especially in the second half when he ended up playing with almost no support. He ran through a number of players on a few occassions but eventually lost possesion. This may have been frustrating but he had no other oppotions because by the time anyone else got there for support he had been tackled. With better support from midfield or a strike partner, I'm confident he will come good. This is not say there isn't room for improvement. I watched the game with my friend who has never seen Fryatt play and he criticised him when he ran into the cov box and didn't shoot early enough. However with time and more support he will be a great striker for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly Posted 19 August 2006 Share Posted 19 August 2006 fryatt doesnt need or deserve to be dropped! i would like to know why it was even thought he should be..... the fact he ran about like a blue arsed fly creating all the chances himself because he didnt have alot of help creativly from anyone else!
