I think Fletcher is underrated - OK he isn't a prolific goalscorer, but he brings other players into the game and is the best we have in the lone striker role. Not his fault the midfield spent most of the match camped on the edge of our box.
Griffiths, Rhodes etc. are all penalty box players which are of little use to us because we so seldom get the ball in that area of the park.
Chris Martin is the only other who could play the lone striker role but he had a nightmare when he got the chance to shine in that role.
Basically we have lacked any high quality players for the best part of 20 years and we badly need a talisman.
