City fan 1982 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Better than flint and john terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cummins17 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Thought him and Wright looked very assured and comfortable tonight. Do not get me wrong I am a huge Flint fan but I think this partnership has a great chance of developing nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 For Flints aerial dominance. The chap up top for Villa won everything and held the ball up well. Calling out for Flint to 'beat him up'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br1stolCityBoy Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Villa fans must be gutted losing him to us. Thought he was quality tonight. John Terry didn't run 200 yards all night. The only time he got into a trot was when he went up for a set piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 This defence looks pretty solid with the two centre backs looking goos, Pisano is solid at RB, though I would like to see him overlap a bit more. Bryan's defencive play, which was slighrly weak last season has strenghened a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 If anything Flint and Baker are too similar, think both look better paired with Wright than they did with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Thought Baker and Wright complemented each other quite well, very good performance from both and we should look to build around them for the immediate future, Baker being 26 and Wright 25 there's potential for that partnership to develop well over the next few years. Bryan/Kelly at left back will both have a number of years with the two of them if they stick around. It's only Pisano who would need replacing in the next few years (hopefully Vyner to develop into the role), otherwise we could have a good back 4 on our hands.

Dredd Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Both CBS immense tonight. Pisano excellent defending and going forwards I thought. Bryan much improved as a LB so far this season, getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Joe quite often had to put in a last ditch sliding tackle, which to me suggests he was caught out of position too much, which isn't uncommon. Alternatively Paterson was letting him get overloaded too much. Would need to see highlights to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I think Baker and Wright is the future, even if Flint wasn't being such a flirt. That back 5 looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT's Vaseline Tub Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Villa must have been mad to let him go just because he was home grown and not a big name signing. Right age too to really kick on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's entitled to a opinion but Wright is twice the defender flint is. Flint gets done on the deck all the time and is massively overrated on here.
