Steven Fletcher's been relegated before and knew his teams were doomed but he insists that is not the case at Dundee United.
The Tannadice club are scrapping for survival and tonight’s game in hand at Livingston could be vital in cutting their four-point deficit at the foot of the table. The experienced striker has already been relegated from the Premier League with Burnley and Wolves and admits on both occasions there was a sense of inevitability. Jim Goodwin’s newly-inherited side may be adrift but Fletcher believes they can come good over the next 11 games.
The former Scotland cap said: “I’ve been through a few relegation battles with Sunderland, Burnley and Wolves. The difference between then and now is the way it feels. In the past, even though we were not relegated yet, you felt it was coming. When I was at Sunderland, the first three years we flirted with it but never felt like we’d go down. It was the same at Wolves, it’s hard to explain it but I just had a feeling.
