Get him centrally within 30 yards and he'll get goals. No doubt our stifling system this season has not got the best out of Frecks. If we get away from the bottom and SE decides to gamble more, watch him get back to what he does best
Pod have to agree Pboro fans said he was lost at this level watched him closely yesterday, one JCH run in the first half where he went to the byline and pulled it back towards the penalty spot it was all to quick for Frecks, hope I am wrong but it looks a step too far.
Frecks is the only one of our mid fielders that is capable of breaking into the box and get goals. I to also think as Exeter suggested our defensive tactics are stifling him.
I have said this before on other threads the additions to the team I.e replacements for Agard, Tavs and Thomas have not been good enough, therefore our squad imo quality wise has not improved from last year. We need 4 / 5 quality players starting with the positions as fore mentioned.

Agree to an extent, I was chatting to one of the players who lives near me recently and I asked him what the main difference was between div 1 and the championship and he told me it is the pace the ball is moved at and the pace of the players. I think Frecks is struggling with that pace and because we have no pace at the back we sit too deep and the opposition hold an high line against us, as we have no pace to run in behind and this negates our long ball tactics. It's therefore not easy for Frecks to arrive late in the box.
JCH pulled a ball back from the right touchline yesterday, towards the penalty spot for a midfielder to run on to a tap in, no one could get there. Green has that extra awareness and game pace to get there but can not finish like Frecks.
Top and bottom is we need some pace in the team in a number of areas and that is what we have lost from last season with Tavs, Thomas and Agard
