Bs4Red Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 In my opinion, a awful player at this level. Have seen nothing from him this year that impresses me. His distribution is absolutely shocking and he is one of the only players I have seen at this level that cannot strike a football or clip it. A massive area of improvement next season.

I thought that his agression had been a big factor in our improving defence . I understand he didn't have a great game today but he is a destroyer not a playmaker.

Smokey Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Apart from one bad clearance I thought he was OK today. Overall I think he has been a good signing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stogursey red Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Very poor positional play, and worst he very really wins a one on one battle, think he is to blame a lot of the soft goals we have given away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our best defender by far. He doesn't let players get ball to feet and turn or lay it off. If he was 6'3 he'd be a premier league CB. Awful pass to lead to a goal but with a couple more Bailey Wrights on the pitch someone is taken out and a yellow card is shown. We were far too nice for the most part on their breaks. I don't want to be a dirty team but fouls like Korey got for the yellow could happen a bit more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts us in many of the situations he gets us out of by giving the ball away. He is extremely slow and has been part of a defensive that still leaks goals.

Madness No I think the madness is saying he's not good enough for the level considering we've been solid with him in the lineup and a top 10 team we're sad to see him leave for us because he was that solid for them. It's nice when centre halves can do more than defend but their main job is defend. Too many times this season we've tried to have players play pretty football but not do a job defensively. He's not pretty but he makes it uncomfortable for the opposition and kicks them and tugs at their shirts and gives them no time. He's probably my player of 2017 so far outside of Tammy.

GoodridgeandGoater Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 He's a decent defender and that's what we bought him to do. Our goals against and results have improved since he's been in the team. But some of his passing is dead poor. My heart says Mags is a better partner for Flint but would be hard to take him Bailey out of the team based on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellspokenman Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 OK, he made a mistake today, but a somewhat harsh statement to make. Even Mrs Wellspokenman agrees and thats unheard of ! It is also no coincidence that Flint has improved massively working alongside him. The way he has come on in the last 3 months is astonishing. The pair of them hold position well, and this allows a much stronger back line. Before this, the fullbacks were getting pulled in all directions with Flint + 1 dragging them every which way, allowing the opposition to run through us with yards to spare. So, a good partnership I feel. Long may it last..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really we are scoring at a similar rate. Think it's 26 in those same 19 with 33 or so in the first 25. We've had some high scoring games(Cardiff 3 might be his second game, Derby 3 and Preston 5) since he's been in there but also many more 1 or less conceded. Most of the games we've struggled we've gotten beat on the wings and he's not a full back. He shuts play down through the middle of the pitch. Flint takes care of things in the air and Bailey takes the ball from players with the ball at their feet. I don't know what you've been watching to be honest. He's not a great passer but he doesn't give the ball away under pressure too often. He'd be better suited to the right side but Flint I don't think would be passable.

Palmers Green Red Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Thought in the first half today he was the best of the back 4 ... when other people were mucking around with it within our final quarter, he did what was necessary and put it into row z. Yes, made a big mistake for their 2nd goal but thought he didn't have a bad game all things being equal. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive area of improvement next season. I was thinking the same during the game today. I just don't think he is very comfortable playing on the left hand side of the two centre backs. Anything on his left foot gets miss hit. Having said that hopefully it's a partnership that can build with Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
