If they did than every other club would know our teams truths, bad for our club. I fully expect teams too lie and am never disappointed and just remember History is always written by the victors and probably isn't the truth either. I agree and in some respects I found LJ a bit too open with his prematch interviews, may be showing his hand to the opposition or may be ' smoke and mirrors ' .

If LJ truly was the reason behind our bad form last season and Steve Lansdown showing that he will stick with him, this year we might not be so lucky! So I'd rather he was successful and not have to go through another season of disappointment and torture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, sod other players getting match fit or getting practice alongside other CBs, should Flint get injured or suspended. If Johnson really thinks Hegeler is a CB this season, then we've 4 decent CBs, all playing for their place....I'd make that 5 personally with Taylor Moore. None of them should be lulled into thinking they are undroppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 With Moore, Maggs Hegelar and Wright in the squad, We can afford to lose Flint if the price is right. I would miss him though as he wins a lot in the air both at the back and when he goes up for corners. Would miss his commitment too. Question is, what is a good price?

Septic Peg Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Well I've just watched Scotty's snaps from last night and it was obviously an end of tour party (Frankie on the Bombay sapphire, Marlon walking around with 2 bottles in his hand, Gus is a closet party animal! Some of the staff have managed to get dodgy specs to match Eros!) and Mr Flint was there enjoying himself so I can only assume he was rested yesterday for the friendlies in the week against tougher opposition.

It's as much his character that he will be a big loss when he goes. Like Frankie Fielding , both average players making their way in the game through sheer character and hard work . I highly respect those two . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it was solely to get JH minutes as someone mentioned with him pulling out of the Yeovil game he stands to benefit more from the run around. Not too sure who the we are, but words don't literally come out of people's mouths. Surprisingly, we don't carry speech bubbles around with us.

So your way of thinking then is to play your best line-up, every game, ready for the start of the season? On this basis then, someone picks up an injury the day before kickoff, and suddenly we throw someone in who has had less of a pre season because he's "not first choice". The majority of players at most clubs, unless injured or out in the cold, will play a decent amount of friendlies. Towards the end, maybe the last 2 games, you'll probably play your strongest 11 to get some continuity, but before that, to expect a player to play every single game, is unrealistic.

Guest Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Jeez, after years of starting every league and cup game Flint not even allowed to sit out one friendly lest we are unsure how he'll partner a guy he played alongside since January?

Not ideal for the most crucial pairing in the team who have not played together for 3 months. Sorry if that is too simple for some to understand.

You honestly think Flint wouldn't have started these games if there was uncertainty? My point is, there's clearly more going on than the party line of "we've had no bids so he's going nowhere" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only give one game for Flint and Wright to team back up before the season starts. You don't play your strongest team in friendliest, it's about getting the squad up to match fitness hence the chopping and changing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be simple but the logic of your argument is surely that only the first choice 11 should play in pre-season games as they will all have forgotten how to do their jobs during the summer. If it applies to Flint it presumably applies to everybody. Which leaves you with much of the squad having had no match practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what happens in due course but in the meantime Flint sitting out one game does not prove he is leaving. Any more than Bryan playing proves he isn't.
