Chill out man.'Hope' is what drives every person, morse so after adversity. SAF deemed last night as the right moment to inject more 'hope' to further fuel Fletchers rehabilitation. I have absolutely no issues with SAF on that.
Given its a player of Fletchers repute, with the respect he has earned through his amazing development into a driving force of our midfield, Im glad SAF did not patronise him by playing him in a joke game at the early stages of the CC Cup. Bringing him on in a high profile pressure situation will quickly remind Fletcher that whilst he has made a huge amount of progress since his crisis point, he is still only half of the way there.
Last night should be considered as SAF rewarding Fletcher for all his hard work on the recovery road and a perhaps a required injection of motivation whilst at the same time providing him with 'the shock' of a reality check of the progress he still needs to make to get back to the level required of him. If you ask me, its yet another masterstroke of man management by the greatest manager of all time.
As someone who has been through what Fletcher is going through, the only thing that will get him back to proper weight and full strength is plenty of good quality food and intensive training and match practice. It needs to be at the cutting edge once in a while. And because its one of my favourite players in our club right now, Im more than happy if he is given a little bit of special treatment and every chance to to re-establish his career.
