southvillekiddy Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Brilliant win, Wilbraham really looks the read deal up front, classy lay-offs and heading and Little will be a real threat over-lapping like that, really strong running and excellent cross (and was very unlucky in the incident) BUT Fielding and Flint give me kittens, especially when they are inter-acting, maybe they don't trust one another but it makes our defence look shaky. Frankie's decision-making and distribution are sh*** If we get a top notch goalie we can very well this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITW Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint should of been man of the match IMO. Nothing against Wilbraham though who was brilliant. Thought everyone played well to be honest and Frankie had a really good second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Don't let the facts get in the way, Flint was one of our standout performers, twice saving his flapping keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggythecity Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint was fantastic!!looks much more comfortable in a 3 with people around to take the runners,Fielding a little nervy to start but got better i thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westred1 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint was immense today; didn't lose it in the air, didn't panic on the ball, made three goal line clearances, a couple of awesome tackles and led the line well. Little was fantastic going forward; crossing a little wayward but the one that mattered was for wilbraham's goal. Wilbraham was everywhere. Held the ball up well, nice flick ons and a great composed header for te first. Frankie wasn't too bad. Erratic, yes, which leads to nervous-watching but he made a couple of top saves to keep SUFC at bay. Very pleasing performance; best for a very long time.

Taylor10 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint was class today. I thought the experts said he wasn't good enough though? Shut a few up today, long may it continue. Great away performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North London Red Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 It looked to me like Fielding carried the ball out of his box on a couple of occasions. I was hoping he'd learned his lesson after Rotherham away last season but it appears not. Just hoping he doesn't do it again as it will only be a matter of time until he's pulled up for it.

OldlandReddies Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Dont know what game you were watching mate, Flint was outstanding and made several top, top, clearances. Yes Frankie did have a couple of 'dodgy' moments but dont all keepers in a game ? He also made up for it with two brilliant stops which made all the difference and didnt stop talking to his defence all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebrenn Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Best game I have seen from Flint.won most things in the air.looked a different player from last season.looked fitter too.thought fielding grew in confidence as the game went on .

EDoubleD Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint was awesome today. Think that back three has to be up there for best in this league. So much composure as well, which will only get better. Need a new keeper though. Fielding isn't commanding enough -also thought freeman was good as well. Bad news for bobby, but at the pace we played think cotts will rota the team a lot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thought they were on top going in to the break, and was happy to get to half time still level. Second half, I thought we pretty much bossed in for the first thirty minutes. Would add Elliott to your list of those who had a very solid game today. Flint my MOM today however. If we have found a new Taylor, we really are in with a shout. As for Fielding, not the rounded article, but if a striker ultimately gets judged on goals scored, then a goalie should be on those he saves that could have gone in, and by hook or by crook there were a number of those today. We will for sure play worse teams this year, so a great result. El and JET going to have to work hard not to be just squad players this year.

P'head Red Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 A very good result, a very good second half for our boys. But we must not get carried away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 You must have been watching NLBR on BT Sport! Flint looks like he has grown into a powerful CB, Fielding, apart from the attempted punch looked OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 As well as defending exceptionally, I think it's worth pointing out how much Flint's distribution looks to have improved too. But for a couple overshot diagonals, most were on the mark. He should take a stack load of confidence from that game and long may it continue.

bcfctim Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint was an absolute boss at the back today, not sure what game the OP was watching!

samo II Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint was excellent, and after a shaky period in the first half, I thought Fielding actually looked pretty decent; both in his stops and distribution. Also, was good to see Flint getting very vocal, and encouraging Fielding after his punching error. We're not the finished article at the back, that is for sure, but considering the opposition, I think they did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Picking on Flint after that performance, really?! He was outstanding, and mopped up after Fielding's mistakes on several occasions. The camera even picked up on him giving Fielding an earful at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I think the only thing that worried me slightly was Ayling's tendency to give the ball away in dangerous positions. Other than that, a really decent away performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Are Rovers? Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint was superb. To me he looked today like the player we thought we had purchased 12 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Fielding was definitely a bit of a flapper in the first half but much better in the second. We need him to be consistent for 90 minutes. Flint was easily man of the match. All he did was simple basic things but these are what we need in defence - e g win headers and tackles.

samo II Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 It wouldn't be Bristol City if we didn't have one defender who can be replied on to do that. But the good thing is with this squad is that if he KEEPS doing it, we've got another very decent player behind him in the shape of Osborne, so that is something.

Alex_BCFC Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Flint did pretty well but Fielding's general play is concerning. Well all know he can make the odd blinding save but he will cost us goals from crosses and his distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
