An excellent player at this level and was a fantastic captain last year. Seems to have developed a real passion for the club........and you've only got to look at how bad we were when he wasn't in the side.

However it bewilders me how people can claim that he can't pass or tackle, when he regularly did that last season, better than most other players.    Report

But even then he managed to bang a couple in last year didnt he? More than Lee Croft managed I believe.    Report

You could argue that this got us off to a good start from which we could relax and string some passes together. It may be in the course of time that he will be seen to be a weak link, but who would replace him, - Russell, Bell, Spillane? I doubt if any of them would be any better. He is a reasonably good passer, who can bring into play Hoolahan or Croft/Bell, above all he is tireless and full of enthusiasm - in fact a very superior version of Hughes. W may see that with Clingan playing the the holding role, and a reliable defence behind him, Fozzy is able to venture further forward. We may see more of him.    Report

We were getting battered until Fozzy came on and was the only player willing to put his foot on theb ball and play passes through the oposition rather than big hoofs. Wooah Jamie Jamie....    Report

Fozzy is not an Ian Crook type player where he will split a defence everytime but he keeps the game ticking over, always on for a pass and doesnt shy away from responsibility. Its a fact that Midfielders do lose the ball. e ball. Its called taking risks. Those that dont lose passes are those that play it safe everytime. Pace.....how is that an important attribute for a holding midfielder?? Wembley Arena, 16th October, The Roundhouse on the 26th and Wembley 12th July 2009.    Report

How can you say Clingan should be in the team? We haven't really seen him play for Norwich yet! Strikes me as a bit weird. Fozzy keeps the ball moving. Although it's not a recognised "skill" per se, it's a valuable asset and it keeps the opposition on the back foot.    Report
