thought fat fred was dire! Uninterested and out of his depth. If had been a youth player we had never seen before, we would all be saying dont play him!
People slag off Freddy very easily on here, a few times yesterday he sprinted and chased down the defenders over twenty/thirty yards which resulted in forcing errors and Southend regaining posession through throw on's and goal kicks. That seems to have gone unmissed amongst a few doubters on here.
The reason he is carrying weight and a little lacklustre is because of the way he has been treated by the management. He is a goalscorer and has scored goals at Championship and International level yet he has had loanees, defenders and youngsters picked ahead of him time and time again.
I believe if he was shown the same love as Sturrock has afforded the likes of his own son, Corr, Tomlin (When not scoring), then he would get goals. Maybe it's time and he can fire us to the play offs. I can't see what harm it would do in getting him game time, were are struggling form goals!!!
Utter unmitigated nonsense on a biblical scale.
Dire? He put in a shift and was chasing a lot down at the end, he put in what he could. He is still not 100% fit but actually his performance gave me a great deal of hope that he is not that far off. But he needs a run of games. If Freddy was dire today I assume you are sending Britt straight back to Watford.....
thats exactly what they said on the radio, he just didnt look interested or up for the game.

Really? He arrived like that. His previous clubs just stopped playing him.

Other than that, all he previously offered was a good free-kick.
Not so good that it hit the target mind.
