Re: The much maligned Flint
We've conceded 3 goals (so far) tonight against a Division 4 team.
Re: The much maligned Flint
Yes, poor defending is reported.
Re: The much maligned Flint
That's the hung with stats..

Or evening out defensive errors. He's not in the team to score goals, that should be a bonus on top of good defending. If he has defended poorly tonight then the two goals he would've scored wont really mean that much to him. Maybe he should play upfront.
Re: The much maligned Flint
he's not a striker. his job is to defend
Re: The much maligned Flint
And still in a negative on goal contributions.
Would be happy to bring him on up front for 20 mins every game to save him causing any problems at the back

I suspect playing against teams like Carlisle is more his level as he certainly isn’t a Championship standard defender.
Not from what I have seen since he has been at Cardiff City anyway.

I've seen milk turn quicker than Flint
His distribution is woeful
He can't tackle
He's got no positional sense whatsoever
He was a very poor signing
He's an average League One defender
Apart from that he's fine
Re: The much maligned Flint
I listened to Radio Cumbria .
They thought he was woeful .
Unfortunately .
Re: The much maligned Flint
Did he pay off his transfer fee tonight ? :hehe:

194 games in the Championship since 2015 (216 total) plus 25 goals tends to disprove your assertions.

It proves nothing other than he had three good seasons with Bristol City. He wasn't rated at Boro and he's not rated many here. Even you have to admit he's cost more than his fair share of goals this season.

Okay you're right he's a fantastic signing worth twice the purported £4M we paid for him
He reminds me of Franz Beckenbaur and Rio Ferdinand all rolled into one
Majestic on the ball and could probably hold Bolt off over a quick sprint
He's ability to read the game is second to none and he will probably get called up for the Euros in the summer

You've used goals and appearances to disprove a post saying he can't tackle, is slow at turning, he has poor distribution, he's got no positional sense... Sums you up :hehe:
Re: The much maligned Flint
He scored 15 League goals in one season a few years ago of Bristol City. Which is better than any of our strikers have done for years. But he's there to defend.

A cheaper alternative than Moore and has scored more goals this season.

We could have a strike partnership of players who were brought in as a centre back and right back. So glad Warnock knew a forward when he saw one.....

40 goals conceded in his 26 league games tends to back up olderblue's assertions

He reminds you of Beckenbaur and Ferdinand and you reckon he's as fast as Bolt, and you value him at £8m? Clueless about football

Re: The much maligned Flint
5 goals 4 assists? He should be playing in the hole. Just imagine
