I've seen FGR play several times this season as they are a fairly easy journey for me to get to, and Stuart Fleetwood has been a revelation, scoring some cracking goals. That total of 20 in League and Cup matches is correct, as far as I am aware, and he is the leading scorer in the BSP League this season.
There is no doubt that his goalscoring ability has been one of the reasons why FGR have been in good form this season and are currently lying in sixth place, just behind the play-off positions, but in all fairness, it has not just been Fleetwood who has brought about this transformation of a side who have struggled so often in the past. Manager Jim Harvey has forged a very hard-working side who, more often than not, play to their strengths and are getting the results which they deserve, playing good attacking passing football, and unbeaten in their last 10 matches, including the cup tie against Rotherham last Sunday, which FGR were a bit unlucky not to win, having been 2-0 ahead at haftime, courtesy of Super Stuart !
Fleetwood has declared his intention at present to remain with FGR this season (I hope he does) but of course, we all know how quickly things can change in football. It seemed like only about 5 mins between celebrating Gary Roberts' great second goal at Torquay last season and him leaving for Ipswich !!!
