Daggers Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 Rumour has it Burger King are recruiting I'm sure Ultra could manage better than that.

Fox You Forest Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 Quite comfortably the best player at our club, keep him ! If you said keep him i think he's a good player that would have been fair enough but to say he is the best player at the club by some distance is way off the mark.

Steven Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 I must admit I am happy that so many people have rated Fryatt well on the ratings page. I honestly thought he would hardly feature in the side when Cort came back on Saturday and the management team consistently ignoring him despite his goals for the reserves but now he has come on and apparently changed the game, I hope he gets a proper run in the side so he can show us what he can do with good players around him and not the shower that he had to play with last season. Fryatt shows enough glimpses as a player that people will make excuses for him.
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 He's so frustrating because he has the attributes needed to be a very good striker. He's an intelligent reader of play, brilliant at dribbling and his first touch is fantastic when he's paying attention. I think it could just be a confidence thing, and it would seem so does Holloway. If it is it'd be a shame to waste his talents if we can just do something with him that makes him click, because if he was finishing properly he'd be lethal. But I'm starting to think this isn't the place he's going to start firing at, though I'd back him to start scoring a lot somewhere else at some point in his career. Exactly my thoughts. In the first fifteen minutes on Saturday he collected three flick-ons out of four from Howard - DJ Campbell hasn't read that many in his Leicester career to date! We have also seen some great runs, good touch and shots on target. I think it's obvious he is desparate for a run in the side (as a striker!!!) and, more than anything, a goal. I would play him with Howard given the other options at the moment (although if Hume was fit, I would go with Howard and Hume). If he clicks before the end of the season with three or more goals, I'd be happy with that and I think Holloway would keep him. If not, I am sure he will be open for offers and if it were my choice I would (reluctantly) let him go.
Daggers Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 Fryatt - 2 goals in pre-seaon. MDV - 1 goal in pre-season. It might be a simplistic view, but it's enough for me. Thank you Steven for dragging this thread up just so's we can remind ourselves that pre-season friendlies are no predictor of ability or class. Nothing personal Anish - I'm pretty sure there is a post from me somewhere damnding that Casino Jimmy be given a decent outing
Fatbloke Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 How many beers have you drunk?!?! Don`t drink Lib, just an opinion, seems that to have an opinion within the Foxestalk community leaves you open to ridicule though.

The same excuses are being trotted out time and time again for Fryatt. Either he gets of his arse into gear or the Manager finds a way of getting the best out of him, for without either of these he will be leaving the Club.

Ultra Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 Quite comfortably the best player at our club, keep him ! On what criteria do you base that judgement? Can't be anything to do with football...
Ultra Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 It's simplistic because if it was the other way around I doubt you would have posted it. But if it helps your case Fryatt's now scored three goals pre-season with the winner tonight.And you could view his performance as excellent seeing as he conjured up lots of chances and scored the winner or not so good cos he missed some sitters of the kind Hammond would have been crucified for. I see not a lot's changed...
lcfc_jme Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 Matty Fryatt is a fans' favourite, and he chips in with the odd goal. He's here to stay. Shall we move on now??

Moreton Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 After yesterday's performance, I was amazed at the breadth of opinion concerning Fryatt's performance in the game. Personally, I rated him at 3 - slow, lack of awareness in front of goal, lack of ability, movement off the ball etc etc. - and yet some people gave him an 8 MOTM performance! What would you do with him in the summer? Personally, I would get rid. I can't see him ever getting more than 10 goals in a season at best, and for me, 'battling performances' just don't cut it. We need natural goalscorers. Feel free to comment people. Yeah we have had a few of these threads already but i say keep him!
andy_croydz Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Personally I'd say keep him, Ok so he hasn't scored for a while and he defanitly seems to have struggled since he got those injures last year but I think if we stick with him and slowly gets his fitness back to fully fit then we might see the Fryatt that scores 15-20 a season! I know he is capable of it, but those injures have had an effect on him so far, just hope he can get back to his best again and soon!

filbertboy Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 I don't think he played badly Saturday. He got into good positions and got some shots on target. But, once again, he failed to put good chances away.Neither sentiment nor acceptance that the guy has certain strengths comes into it for me. I judge strikers by their returns. Fryatt has scored three goals this season (2 League and one Cup) and has 3 assists in League and Cup. Last season he scored four and had two assists. That's way short of what's required. How many starts last season and this ??? will put the goals scored into more of a context
lildave3 Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 How many starts last season and this ??? will put the oals scored into more context Plenty. Nobody can defend his goalscoring record. Nobody.
filbertboy Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Plenty. Nobody can defend his goalscoring record. Nobody. maybe so, but still , it would be interesting to know the details. Im not defending him just interested.
