Bristol Oil Services Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Kalas or Flint? Kalas at his best, played alongside Webster. Flint had Awol Ayling and Dek Williams first season up, then Bakes (when fit and not suspended, or substituted) and Bails, or Magnússon, even Adam bloody Matthews one match. And a Swedish crock once, too. I think Flint, at his best, bares comparison with any central defender we have had in this Championship spell, bar Webster obviously.

Although he has an okay game, he didn't get the rest of the team going at all. He's no captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Steve can afford it, pay them off in the summer and start again. Punchless and pathetic. And if we go down witch is more that a possibility they will surly the first sold.

I agree with the first sentence, not sure on the second. Kalas is not, to me, a great captain and I suspect he would not even be captain if we had more leaders in the team. But I'm not sure I blame him for that - he's doing a job he's not really suited to because nobody else is suited to it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no captain. Different argument. And I'd probably agree, but he held that defence together today and was one of the few to come out of it with credit.

Flint was an utter hero during his time at the club bit has struggled elsewhere. I think the major issue with him is that he was great when we first came up but had one very obvious weakness - in that he struggled if a team isolated him and put a pacey forward against him. As soon as teams worked that out, he became a bit too easy to get around. I'd take Kalas 'cos I think he is less easy to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a pop at kalas earlier but compared to Flint he’s a different level. Flint was a very good league one centre half but was constantly found out in the championship . People loved him sliding in with his recovery blocks . Just shows he was out of position in the first place . Trouble is , we got taylor Moore back there that sends panic through the back line . The lad is a mistake waiting to happen , league 1 player . Jack hunt , not good enough, mariappa , was good enough but now 35, we’ve no left back. Sess today , stop turning your ****** back There is one who’s good enough to see us through but **** that we’ll play him in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pound Lane Red Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 How dejected does Kalas sound? I think there was an underhand dig at others there. Split in the team. Not looking good unless we get a top class man manager in to help this wounded group. Adkins ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Red Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Without doubt Bentley been player of the season. Could score an own goal every game until May and still be our stand out best player. Would be around bottom 3 without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Kalas has been like this in his interviews for weeks. Disharmony within the squad could be very likely currently, disharmony with the club maybe even a bigger possibility with what came out with the Walsh/Williams injury issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Refreshing from TK..... gives me hope. He is a good player, being a leader on the park not so sure. Either way he identifies that we cannot attack for love for money, and all we do is defend. And the inevitable will happen. Not even a corner says how poor we are. Not sure what can change this in short term. Stop putting square pegs round holes. Even TK is looking over his shoulder at teams below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Kalas post match interview was refreshing indeed. If I was SL I’d have someone the players respect to chair a meeting of them all(say Tinnion or Gilmartin, even Murray) and ask Kalas as captain to get them to discuss tactics for next game, as well as analyse what went wrong today. OKsome of the youngsters may not be as articulate as Kalas but they will have a view, and there are some very competent experienced football players there too (not about their current form), eg Bentley, Mariappa, Hunt, Lansbury What amazing grasp of English Kalas has.
