BigTone Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Was at Millwall today and afraid Flinty had a bit of a mare. Came good 2nd half but looked out of place TBH. Give him a few more games to settle I suppose. Boro generally were fairly average until the last 20 mins and I can't see them as promotion contenders. Early days I know before someone says it.

cidercity1987 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 He is gonna be found out big time up there. I saw the highlights and he was all over the shop, not just for the 2nd goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Great servant to us no doubt, but despite the odd ‘heroic’ game here and there defending was never his strongest attribute, imo the thing we’ll miss most from AF is his ability in the oppositions box.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Won’t get as easy a ride up there for sure. Be interesting to see if he can step up. His cult hero status here gave him leeway he won’t get in a side expecting promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really down to tactical errors with subs that let Millwall down. They could and should have won 4 -0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Boro were playing with a high defensive line which doesn't really help his game. Madness to write him and Boro off based on one game. They were poor today but still managed not to lose against formidable opponents at home in Millwall. Be very surprised if they aren't in the mix come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Are we happy adding a “y” to a former player’s name, albeit a much loved one?! Doesn’t feel quite right to me somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd around me were amazed he cost £7m !! That said I think he will settle down after a while. If I remember correctly he started slow when he signed for us.

I still doubt Boro will be more than mid table though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good one I hope, it’s the least he deserves, be disappointed if he gets jeered, but as soon as the first whistle goes I’ll treat him same as any other opposition player.
