Criticism of Craig Fleming

"Craig Fleming must not play centre back tonight

Even if the Doc is injured. We concede in excess of 3 goals a game when he plays!

Stat lifted from the YY messageboard:
"Craig Fleming (35) has started 5 of our last 8 games in defence.
Rotherham away in the cup, Plymouth away, Burnley home, QPR away, Stoke away.
During that time we have conceded 17 goals.
In the 3 games he did not start we conceded 0 goals.
Now what does that tell you????""

It tells me:
1. The poster is unaware that 3 of the 5 goals we conceded at Stoke came after Fleming was substituted and Doherty was moved to centre back.
2. The poster is unaware that 2 of the 4 goals conceded against Burnley came after Doherty got himself sent off and we went 3 at the back.
3. The poster is unaware that Craig Fleming scored for Norwich at Rotherham, whereas
4. Doherty scored AGAINST Norwich at Plymouth.
