Wolverhampton Wanderers legend Steve Bull hails Steven Fletcher’s impact – EPL news
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ record goal scorer, Steve Bull, has hailed Steven Fletcher’s impact at the club this season. Bull believes that Fletcher might just prove to be the club’s savior, as they look to ensure their English Premier League survival.
Steven Fletcher has recovered from a rocky start to score six goals from his last eight appearances for the club. It is a performance that has allowed the Wanderers to climb out of the relegation zone into the relative safety of 16th place. Fletcher
could not have chosen a better time to find his form. Striker Kevin Doyle suffered a knee injury back in March, which has sidelined him for two months.
Doyle’s absence was seen as a real blow to Wolves’ survival hopes this season. The Ireland International had been one of the club’s most potent scoring threats, and fans were left wondering as to who could possibly deputize for the striker during his absence.
But the call has been ably answered by Steven Fletcher. His contributions over the last eight games have given the club a real chance of avoiding the drop this season.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International, Steve Bull, has showered praise on Fletcher for his impact at the Molineux Stadium. Speaking on the matter, Bull said, “A lot of people were saying when Doyley was out, no-one was going to take his place. He has done so
well during the last two years and been exceptional. We've done well to keep him in for that many games, being the lone striker for all the season.”
"Fletcher has come in, he's got his feet under the door and had a few games under his belt now. He's been showing he is as good as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Doyle-c20719 with his work-rate and goals.”
Steven Fletcher has only recently started firing for his new employers, but Steve Bull believes that the striker has the talent to produce match winning performances on a regular basis.
Bull concluded, “He is a natural goalscorer. He has proven to be that now with his strikes outside the box, headers inside the box, little flick-ons. He is an all-round good striker and it is a good job he has come into good form when Doyley was out."
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently in 16th place in the Barclays Premier League standings with 40 points.
