bengalcub Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Why does little lee keep banging on about bailey wright ? Yes he's solid enough but without doubt our strongest pairing is baker and flint , little lee has made a rod for his own back by making wright captain therefor first choice and would have to admit he got it wrong to pick flint over him. Which we all know he ain't man enough to do ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Wright will sit out the next game after being away on international duty so I expect the door to open for Flint again. I've done the trip to Oz 3 times myself in the last 12 months and it is knackering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flints decent in the air but poor on the deck and gets turned way to easily, like bamby on ice at times. Wright is better on the deck and is decent in the air considering the height difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Could be the classic case of your best individual players not being the best pick for the team. Flint has been an immense player for us - no doubt. However, he was also an ever present in the leaky defence last season and Ive questioned before as to whether the problem is being able to find a player to pair with Flint. Baker and Wright are perhaps a better central pairing than Flint and anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Flint and Baker would probably be the best combo but not by much. All three would work if we were using wingbacks but I doubt we'll see much of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanemochi Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Think Lee is plenty man enoigh to change players if he thinks he needs to (i emphasise the 'he thinks' part). Did that last season when subbing Tomlin despite knowing full well the entire crowd would get on his back about it. So far this season he's not had a reason to bting in flint, neither have i heard anyone at the gate calling for it. With the way we're supposedly going to be playing this season, I think flint eill get his chance. BUT for that he has to want to play for the club, which I'm sure he will do now the transfer window is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Bad opinion. We've got a remarkably strong group of centre halves now though, plenty of competition for places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Might be well off but another user posted a few months ago, Flint & Wright conceded 30 something goals, in the same time period Flint & Baker conceded 50 something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Wright & Baker for me too. First time in years I've had a bit of confidence in the CB partnership to actually be solid defensively and be able to use the ball well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 current back four look really good, why change? Wright might need the Reading game off to recover from his trip back from Oz, leave the decision to our manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 On his day, Wright looks absolutely class. The other times he looks good enough and doesn't make too many mistakes defensively that I've seen. Been loose with the ball on the left side before though. On the right side he seems much more confident. Flint is just as solid as Wright most of the time but tends to get beat by quicker players more often than Wright does. Occupational hazard of being 6'6" tall I would assume. For me, Wright and Baker are our pairing going forward but I would have no problems with Flint playing teams like Millwall instead of Wright. Some don't like changing partnerships but all have played together within the past couple of seasons so I would be confident in any of them paired together.

The Gambler Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think Bailey Wright is one of the best (if not the best) signings of the 3 Johnson transfer windows. I think you could argue that since his signing and bedding in that we have been better defensively - I don't think some of our fanbase appreciate how good he is - LJ clearly does. He comes across very well on a couple of videos on the socceroos website: http://www.socceroos.com.au/ Oz are level on points with the Saudis in qualifying and need to either better the Saudi result or make up a 2 goal (goal difference) deficit when they play Thailand on Tuesday to qualify. Would be good to see the BCFC captain at the World Cup next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
