What fool would let a player like Flint anywhere NEAR a penalty?
We listed our penalty takers here and Flint was obviously nowhere near anyone’s 5.
That on top of throwing away a 2 goal lead.
Absolutely pathetic.

Of the players left out there, who would you have taking one?
Harris' biggest failing is seemingly thinking Jazz Richards is good. He's ruddy awful.
My cousin texted me:
“Did you know Cardiff put Aden Flint as their first penalty taker in a shootout?”
I had to check he wasn’t winding me up.
Only 13 goals conceded in the last 4 games that Flint has played. Against QPR, Reading reserves x 2 and Carlisle. Bamba as well. Neither should be having a look in these days never mind starting together.
Yet flint will get his head on something for the odd assist and you get people defending the massive lump. Unbelievable waste of money.
Your best penalty takers should always take the first ones otherwise there could be a scenario where they don't get to take one at all..... like tonight!
That said, we were 2 nil and 3-2 up and by the sounds of It, we should have put the game to bed in normal time.
Disappointing.
See the post immediately below yours.
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.
