I'm sure Warnock will have someone to blame. Buy average Champ players at inflated prices and get an average Champ team. Who ever would have thought?

I think it’s pretty much a unanimous view that Webster is the superior player. Flint out for £7m, Webster in for £3.5m, Webster out for £20m is great business. Flint in for just 300k don't forget, so massive mark up to 7m after 5 years fantastic service, and Webster was rising to 8.5m, so the final amount we paid not known. Both great bits of business for BCFC. Not sure why anyone would directly compare the 2, both former players now and each outstanding in their own way for City, though Flint obviously for much longer.

Obviously very early days but I do wonder if he will shine in a team, other than ours where we allowed him to be so dominant? Yes he gave his all for us but he certainly had influence and shaped how we played.He didnt have this at Boro and even though he seems ideal for Cardiff's style he wont have such a big say or be allowed to be so influential I don't think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t see the game, but Flint likes to play in the position that he wants to play in, and at City he probably called certain shots, e.g. Wright always having to play left side. Maybe at Boro and Cardiff he isn’t the big cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the whole game and thought he looked comfortable and was one of Cardiff’s better players - I’d suggest playing Morrison and him not the greatest move Got completely done by some excellent movement by Puscas getting across him at front post whilst going at a cross on his wrong foot on one occasion (Late movement that would do most Centre halves at this level) Lost a fair chunk of respect for him with his head tapping nonsense , but he’s still one of the better Centre halves in this division IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 They`re home to Huddersfield on Wednesday and we all saw how poor they were on Friday but will they have a new manager by then? If Cardiff don`t get something out of that game I can see me seeing a lot more of Mr W strolling along the quayside in Looe in the next week or two. I honestly think he`ll walk.

Hope still springs eternal - some great players in the current squad - but surely no one could argue that Bristol City supporters aren't amongst the most patient in the land?
