RED4LIFE Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 To a man, I thought we were superb tonight, but I want to give a special mention to Flints goal-saving header in the first half. He may be off either this window or in the summer, but that header absolutely sums him up. Never gives up and always gives 100%. Forget the goals he scores, can any of us say Flint has ever let us down defensively? He was utterly immense tonight and barely put a foot (or head) wrong. Personally, I would be happy with a Wright/Baker pairing at CB, but there is no doubt AF sums up what this team is about. Belief in our own ability and the will to put everything on the line for the good of the team. Aden, I salute you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Brilliant instinctive defending. If he misjudged that by a second it would've been a Man City goal and he could've left himself concussed from heading the crossbar! Was fantastic tonight and some of his challenges tonight were excellent. I remember his defending on Sterling in the first half was class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was fantastic tonight and some of his challenges tonight were excellent. I remember his defending on Sterling in the first half was class. Totally agree, but, for me, it wasn't instinctive defending ,he realised Frankie had to come out to close down Sterling and immediately went to the goal line to cover. That isn't instinct, that's clever, knowledgable defending. There are many other (far more expensive) players that would've given that up as a lost cause. Aden didn't and anyone who has watched him over the last few years has come to expect that from him. A 100% pro and the type of player that know you can rely on. £30m for Mangala? Flint is twice the player he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint is a monster, a talisman, a warrior. He scores goals, prevents goals and looks on it all as 'a job I'm paid to do'. Legend (although one or two would disagree). If he gets an offer of Prem football and the wages that go with it then I'll wish him well provided we get the right fee. Anything less than that and I'm up the Gate with my pitchfork ready to give LJ a roasting... no wait a minute... that doesn't sound right. Aden Flint the best CB we've had since Shaun Taylor and, dare I say it, superior all round. And for those wondering, no Carey doesn't come close. Merrick, maybe. But then I'm a drunken old git and what the hell do I know? "Get off my lawn", pesky kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09p7fc1#play 46:30 and then 48:50 on the stroke of half time, McCoist absolutely creams himself about it. The one at 48:50 as they go to the studio, presenter says its best clearance he has ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Watching live I thought it was handball, a penalty and straight red card. Couldn't believe he headed it over until seeing the replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Shay Givens comments said it all “best clearance this season by far” Also liked it when the presenter kept trying to change the subject about Man City he kept raving about our performance.
