They play in different positions. Richards isn't in good form, I agree.
Would you suggest Flint is in good form?

You always have your best penalty taker go first. Flint is NOT our best penalty taker and by the time that we got to Pack we were out.
Flint’s previous goal scoring exploits a just irrelevant.
This lies squarely at Harris’ door. Incompetent at best.
Who was our best penalty taker? Like I've just mentioned, sometimes it's about who fancies it. Flint says to Harris, I'm up for this, give me the first one, I'll nail it, save our best for the end when we might need them. Imagine it was Flint taking the last one to level the shootout? You'd be moaning that he'd been left until the business end of the shoot out.
I said that without having any idea what Cardiff paid for him.
I’m assuming given Woodgate didn’t have him in his plans and he’d had a shit season that Boro took a loss on him.
I’d guess at £3m going to £5m at a push? Though I don’t think he’s worth 5.
I just did. Flint goes to his gaffer "I'll nail the first one for you boss, I'll put my neck on the line. Leave the best penalty takers for the end of the shootout."
Maybe Flint has been banging in penalties for fun in training.
The point is that you don't know why he ended up taking the first one.

Aden Flint has never taken a penalty in his career before tonight.
One of those hat tricks was against Walsall at home.
I don’t want to dismiss it because a hat trick is fantastic and for a defender.
But I can’t even justify to you how utter dog shit Walsall were.
We won 8-2.
Oh please. He scores goals with his head or scruffy tap ins. He’s not as clean a striker of the ball as someone like Bennett.
He’s a banana foot. Any manager with half a brain cell wouldn’t have let him take the first one.
We were playing Reading in a nothing game replay, both sides playing squad teams there was that little regard for the game. It was hardly the play off final.
