Fraser

[Dover]

Fraser is alright, all action and committed, he's a decent passer as well, just plays it simple. I think the Mansfield game showed he's not even close to being the finished article yet, with Reid playing poorly alongside him he was awful, I think Hammond and O'Callaghan have tended to guide him through games when they've played with him. Nothing wrong with that of course. He's got the right attitude anyway, and looks like he will develop into a leader on the pitch.

I think the way he is being used this season is the way young players should be really, being eased in, used sparingly, playing a couple of games and then coming out. It's a shame that players like Cox and Lynch haven't had this and their progress seems to have stalled this year.

Hear hear.

In the youth he looked good on the ball, sprayed passes around. Might just take him time to adapt, mens game is so much quicker.

he has shown signs of that in the 1st team

Lets hope he can progress then, although i think we have better options then fraser, hes more of a defensive midfeilder.. i think attaking central midfilders would suit our style of play

Look at the England team. Lampard and Gerrard are both attacking midfielders. Barry and Hargreaves are defensive. It's all about balance.

i think he is a future captain, has come on leaps and bounds this season ... at oldham i thought he was very composed and 'mature' with hammond going off so early ...

i disagree with an earlier thread about him not being comfortable on the ball, he has a good touch and some skills when needed. i also think he tackles well. give him 2 years and he will be one of THE key player for us, i think its very exciting with qualty coming through like that and it's obvious he loves the club.

happy days!

definately think he's got a lot of potential and is starting to show what he is capable. He does need time though to continue to progress

I thought Tommy let himself down against Mansfield, he had the opportunity of playing in his preferred position, to really boss the midfield and get stuck in but was sadly lacking against a poor league 2 side. Cant see him getting near the midfield positions again this season now.

 

[Perry Milkins]

he is a bit old mind..also a bit of a sullen soul.

 

[bright1064]

He is a great player for his age. However I have to agree he was woeful against Mansfield!
That said, I think he is really gonna struggle for a place now we've made two midfield signings

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

I rate him. Can;t understand why wilkins keeps bringing him off

 

[Frutos]

Quite amusing, better than most American comedies.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Good young player. Has raw potential (how many times has that been said) but has showed climpses of it. As has been said, with experienced players around him (such as Thomson) I am sure he will flourish. In the short term, he isnt a bad player to have as back up cover for the midfield.
