Nogbad the Bad Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 1 minute ago, Captain Hindsight said: What would you say is his best position? LB suits him fine. He's got great energy, aggression and pace. Sometimes his positional sense could be better but that would come with time and experienced. The pace/energy side tends to make up for positional matters. He's also surprisingly good in the air, which is also advantageous as a lot of teams like to play their bigger striker off the full back. Along with being good in the air, he can win the ball and is a quality crosser. Playing with Pato on the left looks as good as we've had for many years. I don't think it suits him at all, and crucially he hasn't looked at all happy there - both football wise and demeanour. I think he's better, and more suited, further up the field - he's a player who needs to be involved or he can drift out of the game and look trepidatious when the ball eventually comes to him. I agree about his quality crossing but as the season went on even that went to pot, imo. largely because his overall game had suffered, and his confidence with it. Managed properly, and not cemented in LJ's mind as a LB, there's a very good player in there and if he moves on I doubt very much another club will play him in that position. At the moment he's another stagnating at AG, if not going backwards. A change of club, a change of manager, and if neither of those, a rethink of his best position required for JB to fulfil his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 5 hours ago, Suffolk Red said: With Tammy gone and Flint Bryan and Brownhill the subject of interest from bigger clubs, I am concerned about our prospects next season. Can a MLS full back and a league one centre back really step into the shoes of proven Championship players and where are we going to find Tammy's replacement? Not panicking just yet but starting to get a bit concerned. Tammy is gone this is all, the rest is just speculation until the deals are done.

BCFCGav Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I don't feel as worried about the defence as most it seems. Aye we'll probably lose Flint, but Bryan has struggled at LB so Kemar Lawrence may well be an upgrade. We released Little so clearly an improvement is being lined up there, and BW has been a quality centre half for us with proven Championship credentials. Then consider we already have Mags, Hegeler and Moore plus will sign a new CB to replace Flint, potentially Bolger, and I don't think our defence will be bad by any means.

RedM Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm staggered that so many people are selecting teams for the future like Flint has gone. He's still our player. Yes he could move, but equally he could stay. Didn't we have similar speculation this time last year and he went on to play every minute in every game.

shelts Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's all early doors at the moment. We will replace those that need replacing , will they be any better ...not so sure after the previous windows under LJ where he's panic bought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he's more likely to move than most, he's got suitors with more financial clout than us, suitors who are historically a bigger club than us and most importantly suitors with a more realistic chance of progression and possibly achieving something more than just survival, which imho would sadly be an achievement given how the championship seems to get better season after season.

Bang on, PSR For every Huddersfield, there is a Leeds etc etc I hate it when people say 'if Burnley are up there, so should we', football doesn't work like that, and that's why we love it (and hate it!) so much. Absolutely we should target being there, but so should every club in the Championship Don't forget even the Manchester United of Div 4 were a non league club not so long back. Oh, how they looked at Hartlepool United and thought to themselves 'if they can be a Div 4 club, so can we' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 9 hours ago, Robbored said: ....the fact that City managed to secure Tammy from Chelsea with competition from other clubs says a lot about how good MA and LJs persuasion skills are. I will be interested to see if we do manage to get any more promising youngsters on loan from the big prem teams. No doubt Chelsea will get the inside story from Tammy about what really went on behind the scenes last season. I suspect LJ's reputation may have been dented by last season's horror run. His rep now is more 'lucky not to be sacked' than 'top young coach'. Tammy's opinion will no doubt be important in affecting Chelsea's view on loaning us more players. If we don't get any I would say that tells a story. Plus LJ started last season in a very strong position so we probably looked like a stable setup to loan a youngster into. Now he looks vulnerable if we start badly. That might make it less attractive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
