I was crapping myself when he came on- imagine my devastation if he'd scored an equaliser or , worse still, the winner. But he didn't and fell over himself with the goal at his mercy ....because he's awful . Now can we please move on? We Have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it perhaps because Aden didn`t feel right whacking a mate whilst Bailey had no such concerns not having played with him? Pretty unusual to come up against like for like for Flint . Maybe a different approach works better. I did hear they both came up through non league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint - despite being a big old unit, is not an aggressive CB. He is strong, but he doesn’t always play well against those that give him a bit back...Che Adams last season for example. Wright is an ox, he’ll do whatever he can to get his body in the way it put off the attacker, Flint likes to win things cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were helpful in their time ( Fluke was good for half of his appearances for us) but hard to see how either would get into our 2nd 11 right now Most hoops I spoke to say they like MS as a bloke, Fluke was good early on compared to rubbish around him and Holloway must go. Can't disagree with that either. WHAT......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a requirement of being a forum member that you constantly have to be argumentative for the sake of it. It’s obviously my opinion that Djuric is superior to Smith - it’s not necessary to write ‘in my opinion’ before making a statement either because it goes without saying.

Smith is underrated. He’s the type of player who can be effective with the right service. Think Milan has better awareness and touch, and when fit is more mobile. We’ve seen the odd flash from Milan that says to me we have a player here who will compliment our other strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Perhaps I should have added an emoji after my OP just to clarify it was all a bit of fun? OK - so MS is "every inch a hero"? - he actually scored 7 league goals in 14 league appearances - great for a loan player at L1 level but I think there's a degree of rose tinted specs in an amazing season where Agard's contribution ( in comparison) seems to be largely forgotten. He went back to the Championship and has scored 7 in 50 league games for Fulham and 8 in 38 for QPR. I wouldn't swap him for any of the 3 strikers on show for BCFC yesterday nor for Djuric. I thought he looked very average and cumbersome ( not awful) but fitted in very well with most of Holloway's mediocre and uninspiring team.

I seem to have missed this. IF he does,, I hope he gets the reception he deserves. A good one, like MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you talking video games, I thought this was about the awful Matt Smith and Djuric being a better player despite him playing just a handful of games. Do you need to strengthen your hand perhaps? Either way it really is nonsense to make that assumption, unless of course you need to quote me the FIFA stats on both players, I mean that's where many get the players merits on isn't it. Thing is you really cant say a player is better than another especially if they have a similar amount of ability, there are many other factors to weigh up as to how they might blend in to a team. Otherwise we might just as well pick players on Top Trumps or FIFA ratings... You might ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You summed it up with your last sentence....MS I in our current squad would I feel be a very good striker, this lad has a lot going for him, however his body language was poor yesterday, unlike when he was here, wasting his time / career with QPR.
