yardy Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 We would miss Marlon, Korey and especially Flint. Not since Shaun Taylor we've had a commanding centre back and i don't want to wait that many years for another. Don't go Aden !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His technical ability as a CB is absolutely stand out and has plenty of years ahead of him. As much as I hate to think of Flint leaving, I do feel that finally we have capable future replacements in Magners & Moore. Magners would be the one I would be most disappointed to lose (Tammy aside as he isn't coming back). Still can't work out why he was left out entirely for so long and why.

Still can't work out why he was left out entirely for so long and why. All I can think of really is the 'winning formula' of Wright and Flint being found. Magners for me is the most exciting defensive player we've had for a long time. Calm and composed on the ball, fairly pacey, not afraid to stick a foot in and has cracking technical ability. Not to forget his free kick taking too. If I had to be really harsh (and nitpick) I would say his main weakness is his strength but that can be worked on. That's more than likely the reason Wright overtook him in the team sheet towards the end of the season. I hope we see much more of him next year because he is definitely going to go on and do bigger and better things than us one day. He's one for us to appreciate whilst he's here much like Tammy.

BRISTOL86 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Honestly after the last couple of seasons I'm not sure I'd be truly upset to see the back of any of them. Flint probably at a push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Flinty, with Korey close second. Says something about MA/LJ recruitment strategy that the top 3 (inc. Pack) are all long termers. Maybe the DNA formula he's using needs a tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually agree with you (I especially dislike your 'face palms') but I have to say I agree that Cole Skuse was an effective player with us, his contribution was valuable but seemingly unnoticed by a sizeable section of our support. I once said on here he was the Phil Neville of the championship - versatile, willing, unsung but important. And that view didn't go down too well!

eardun Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Love Flint and Pack and would be sorry to see either of them to go, but I'm going with Brownhill as I think his potential to become even better is greater; and he is pretty good already at such a young age.

Distortia Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Definitely an interesting question. Flint has definitely been one of our best players since March, and scored some vital goals for us (Barnsley and Wigan winners come to mind). But, as I'm glad some people have recognised, there is a definite correlation between Pack starting in midfield and our improved form. He helps the defence out massively, in my opinion. When we lose the ball, he is there to help out the back 4 and make sure they aren't as exposed as they have been at certain points this season. He is happy to do the unnoticed jobs in midfield both with and without the ball. Look at the impact someone like Busquets has on Barcelona (Not that I'm comparing the players or clubs ), I think Pack's impact on our midfield is comparable. He is also composed on the ball, I'd guess he has the best ball retention stats of all our midfielders. So yeah, I'm going for Pack. Flint is great but personally I think Magnusson and Wright would be a fine Championship-standard defensive partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Think Pack was a very important part of our revival. I'd really like to see us find someone to really compliment him in there so we don't always play with a defensive / holding two. Hegeler liked to venture f/w from RCB in his first two games. If he could get up to speed for a CM role, he could be a huge asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Abraham aside, I actually think we're much more of a unit than we have for recent years. Flint or Smith are the two obvious ones but there isn't actually anyone in the side I think is irreplaceable. That's probably both a good thing and a bad thing, mind. It isn't what I mean at all but you could easily read that as me saying that we have no outstanding players... That said, I do think we have three or four players now who have the potential to develop into becoming outstanding players. Whether they do or not remains to be seen...

Sums it up for me quite well LB Were almost a t a point where we are at a T junction with the potential to slip in either direction , dependent on signings this summer and whether and how quickly those with potential defelop out of interest - who are you're three or four Have tbh - of the first team squad I'd say JB and COD have the potential to significantly kick on , I'm being brutal but in terms of really kicking on I'm struggling after that (Not saying we don't have some 'decent' players - was looking for those with the ability to significantly improve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
