Scotland boss praises Fletch
-
"Darren went through a hard time from the fans and I hate all that negative stuff. Yet surely those detractors watched him against Roma and thought again about the wisdom of their words."
- Alex McLeish
Scotland manager Alex McLeish believes Darren Fletcher proved all his doubters wrong with his immense performance against Roma.
The 23-year-old midfielder turned in an energetic display which was central to United's 7-1 Champions League destruction of the Italians.
Fletcher made a mockery of pre-match fears that United would miss the suspended Paul Scholes, and McLeish feels his critics will be reconsidering their stance.
""Fletch was like a man on a mission, there's no doubt about it. Darren went through a hard time from the fans and I hate all that negative stuff," says McLeish, as quoted in The Sun newspaper.
"Yet surely those detractors watched him against Roma and thought again about the wisdom of their words."
Injury and suspension have deprived McLeish of Fletcher's services for his first two games as Scotland boss, but the midfielder should feature in May's friendly against Austria. -

Good... -
1 game nia. dun talk so much yet

Richardson did very well in his England debut but look at where is he now?
It's only a match so I guess we'll still need to observe him more. However, i give him credit cos he has been improving by leaps and bounds in every match.
Cheers.
