tinman85 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 What will he do for that back 4. Can't see him dropping Wright but he needs to make a call to leave someone out. I expect he will play Pisano v Barnsley and then use the reasoning that he needs fresh legs v Brentford so will rest Pisano to accommodate Bailey at right back. But from then onwards for me it has to be Pisano Flint Baker Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 If we keep our third clean sheet in a row without Flint v Barnsley then there is no way he can come straight back into the team. What more statistical proof does one need that he isn't one of our top two CBs. Edit: For comparison we have never kept 3 clean sheets in a row at this level with Flint in the team.

Play one of the top six and see how that works out - clean sheets without him in the three games we will have played are hardly the same. The best CB pairing, and I would suggest, possibly the best in the league, are Flint and Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against poor opposition v Burton and Ipswich. Could have brought Sean Dyche and Mark Shail from retirement and they would have had a clean sheet.

What about Barnsley if we manage it this time? Oh yeah, we were on for a clean sheet until Flint comes on with 10 to go. Sorry, cult hero goalscorer he may be, one of our best two CBs he isn't.

The Bard Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if Baker was the one who plays on Friday but misses Monday. He's got an injury and maybe playing him at Barnsley knowing that Flint can come in on Monday would be how LJ goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 We played our fluent attacking football due to injuries. Bobby alone doing the nr 9 & 10 role allowing us another man in midfield. Tired legs eventually and "key players/hughe investments needed to be protected by being played" killed the season.

Red Army 87 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I worry about flint playing with Pisano at right back. Bailey has the agility to cover quickly when Pisano goes forward, leaving flint exposed would give us a problem imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case I agree. Flint was stupid to get this suspension. If a deputy proves trustworthy, that's a consequence of Flint's own mistake. If it's a suspension earned after taking one for the team - preventing goal scoring chance or accumulation of bookings - I would disagree simply because that shouldn't be discouraged.

He’s not even the best centre half at the club. The best CB at the club is Baker - no question. The best CB partnership at the club is Baker and Flint - no question. The sending off was stupid however, for a CB he rarely gets a yellow card, never mind a red, so I think he is allowed this indiscretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
