At the moment he is one of the biggest obstacles to us achieving the Premiership He's given our manager plenty of money. Cotts team had the highest wage bill in league one. Maybe the advice he is given is wrong. I believe under his ownership we will get to the Prem, far away yes I know now, we need a name, then give him loads of cash. This squad ain't good enough.

I dunno im getting pretty tired of watching this shit, it comes to something when you still are not confident of getting anything two goals up, im still ******* angry, on days like this i hate football. Spot on. We cant expect to come away with positive results if all we are gonna do is camp in our own penalty area ball watching. Then, just hoof it straight back to a Reading player out of sheer shock we touched the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should win as many as he does, being the vast majority. He will lose some, as will anyone because no-one at this level has ever been perfect for 90minutes. Christ remember 5ft naff all Matt Hill winning some because of his leap and aggressiveness?! Substandard at this level? Ludicrous. He's absolutely standard, if not better than. If he's available for a transfer there's no doubt he will not be begging a league one side to snap him up. Can't agree with the last part. I love Flinty, but he is no more than an average defender in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man in the middle Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Flint won every high ball that went into our box today & Frank was at no fault for any of the goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I thought Flint played well generally although looking at the Reading goals on the highlights (I was in the South Stand so harder to tell live) it looks as though Flint gave the guy too much room for the first. Re the third, we were sitting too deep. Brownhill moves across the three Reading midfielders receiving the ball before the shot. There should have been someone else alongside him. I would persevere with Brownhill in centre mid. He looked good although he did tire. Not surprising as he hasnt played much this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see you do watch the highlights.. Useful for the crucial bits aren't they. I did not say they had rubbish games but did say they are not good enough for Championship football based on today and lots of other games. Danny Wilson and others have said it takes only one second to score a goal. So what the defender does or does not do at that crucial time is absolutely vital. The highlights show that Flint was to slow to react for 2 of their goals (although as I said elsewhere I believe that he may been better for the rest of the game, further i loved watching him in League 1) and that frankie could have done a lot better on the third. By the way Gary Sprake was a brilliant goalie for Leeds and Wales but he regularly let it soft goals? We are just not good enough at these crucial times, individually and as a team. How else can you explain the fact that we are losing in the final minutes of games. the highlights show that its poor positioning, lack of pressing and poor reaction time.

Baldyman Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Flint was superb today . Fielding should have done much better for the third though and nearly cost us a goal when he failed to come for a cross at 1-0 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 As far as Flinty is concerned, first half Reading lobbed too many balls forward and he was happy with that, heading most away with ease. Second half, they stopped doing this and kept it on the deck. Their goals appeared to be reward for this. If Aden is vulnerable, it's on the deck. Obviously.

MarkRed! Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Neither Fielding or Flint are Championship standard. Cotterill masked these deficiencies with a very well organised side/plan in League One. Flints exposure in a 2 was evident under the ill-fated SOD reign. It is no surprise that his successful period came under SC and via 3 at the back. I think this is one of the main reasons SC was loathed to change the system. Fielding simply does not have the presence to be a top keeper and his command of the box, organisation of the defence and distribution are simply not good enough. He was woefully exposed today and at Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Flint too slow to close down for the first goal today. Had an average game in my opinion bar that. Fielding went down in instalments for the winning goal. Has to do better I might be in the minority here but I can't see us challenge to get promoted with either of those two as regulars in our team.

Why pick out Frankie? No player closed the shot down , but no blame to them. When you have 15 plus bodies in front of you not easy to see ball especially if it was struck cleanly and directed into corner. Many to blame for third goal but Frankie way day that list!!
