gordie Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Well after some great team efforts over the last 3 games what happens when he is back fit, personally i would reinstate him and drop Flint although that is probably a bit harsh on Flint, LJ has some pondering to do but it is great to have the strength in depth we have at the moment and those decisions to make, long may it continue.

JoeAman08 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 No need to rush him back now LJ has found a way to get the three of Flint Wright and Baker on the pitch. Of course Eros should come back in when ready but it's up to LJ to decide who for. I don't envy the task though Flint was spared a couple times today on mistakes.

Nibor Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 If he's fit he'll come in for Flint given form. There's no need to rush him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Think it could come down to the opposition, team we want to be more solid defensively against will see Wright start, wanting to play more expansively will see Pisano start.

Phileas Fogg Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 The only slightly criticism I have, if I was to really nitpick, is that by playing 3 strong centre halves (instead of ball playing ones) we do look a tad awkward in possession when the ball with those three in defence. Having Pisano there in his natural position feels a bit more balanced and he's better at pressing forward and playing the ball. Wright did play well there today though.

GrahamC Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 If he is fit Tuesday it would be an ideal game to give him a start. I really rate Baker but he would be odds on to get another yellow card in midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes , Ideal opportunity to give Baker a breather / rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Whatever happens; nice problem to have. I was honestly worried that by having only one experienced right back, if injuries or suspensions kicked in, we'd end up dragging Smith back into defence. Now we have Vyner and Wright competing for that position, and so we're wondering if Pisano can even get back in! Good to have depth and competition in defence.

tinman85 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Flint was lucky in the first half. He could easily have been sent off for bulldozing the Derby player on goal when him and frank hesitated. However him and Baker are a intimidating pairing for strikers. I personally would leave Pisano on the bench for now as Bailey was terrific today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 What an absolutely wonderful problem to have. When did we last have such positive differing views?

Wright was good but Pisano is a natural right back and showed more in his first 5 games in that position than Wright showed today....

CTID It's not harsh on flint . We seen today what each player brings, flint very lucky twice today with a poor touch , one in each half. Bailey is by far the better defender. Some supporters need to let go of this love in with flinty. Yes over the years he's been great for us but we are moving on as a side and imo is not one of the best two centre halfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I think if Pisano was playing today he would have pushed forward a bit more than Bailey did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Im sure Eros willbe back when fit. As others have said, no need to rush him though. Hard to chane the team after that performance, but I guess a few will be rested on Tuesday and that may give Eros an opportunity to get back into the team if he is fit Unbelievable second half performance today.

Good job for Derby Pisano wasn't playing . It could of been 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
