EmersonsRed Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Bring fan favourite Aden Flint... scrappy goal conceded. There's a shock. But for once I don't actually blame the bloke. I presume he was bought on to say goodbye by LJ (why else sub a CB off when comfortable). We are playing in the Championship. The second highest tier in the country. No room for nice gestures. Shouldn't have been bought on. Annoying. Good win nontheless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I had 3 0 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzol Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I had 3 - 1 and Bobby to score first. Didn't see the last 5 mins as it would take 45 mins to leave the car park if we stayed until the end. Happy with the money but disappointed we couldn't keep a clean sheet against a team we were all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Don't really understand this. If he was from round here, or raised through our academy then fair enough. Perhaps even if he was in the mould of Louis Carey. But we bought him into our club and he's just another disposable player at the end of the day. Weird obsession some of our fans have with him, decent on his day but not a club legend by any stretch of the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recognise that he is no Carey but has been immense for 3 seasons. Having said that I agree it is the right time to cash in. Always get a good reception from me. Limited player but immense mental strength and will to win. Will never forget his rabona against Walsall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, not one of our club legends. Cash in, move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Sad the way it has all ended. Club have hardly handled it that well either by publicly saying that he wants to go. Just handle it behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal in added time really ticked me off But wasn't unexpected. We'd taken our feet off the gas in the second half and were far too casual. If we relax like that against the better teams - and nearly the entire division is better than Barnsley - we could go back to losing seemingly impregnable leads.

Yep, but I thought it made more sense to bring Magnússon on, like for like for Hegeler and who would have played on the left hand side of the central defence. I thought we were starting to look vulnerable aerially, though so can also understand why it was Flint who came on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Disappointing to concede the goal but I can see why he was brought on. Generally, we put it in a lot in the first half and it was a sunny, quite warm day so a drop off in 2nd half was to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsRed Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Had my tin hat on for this thread, thankfully it would seem from other threads people agree generally and the few clueless fanboys are the only ones upset. Onwards and upwards, more clean sheets incoming without him. We'll be able to keep a basic shape for 90 minutes!@Flint says No what's your new username gonna be mate?

Player and Agent tried to play the club into getting a better contract by saying wanted out. Club brought in alternatives. Now if Aden didn't really want to leave then he should be having a go at his agent as this whole situation wasn't engineered by the club was it?!

Merely what I think of some of your posts and delivery You obviously have an issue with Flint and fail to appreciate what he can do and has done - I see his many strengths as well as his weaknesses Just one simple example - before you posted op / preach you had obviously failed to realise that Hegler was struggling elsewhere , telling posters to ***** off makes you look a bit ......
