Re: Player Ratings

The first half was the worst half of ‘professional’ football I have ever seen.

Junior, Flint and Bacuna were terrible.

Re: Player Ratings

Flint could get a call up for the 6 nations on that performance, shocking, absolutely shocking

As far as I'm concerned, in the two games he's played for us, Perry Ng has been the best man on the pitch - by a long way. The only one doing his job properly.

Bacuna was anonymous. As some have already said I didn't even notice him on the pitch and he wasn't on or anywhere near the ball then.

Flint goes for the same ball as another defender on the first and is beaten to a ball by Bagan who has to come from the left back position and manages to get in front of Flint for the second goal. Bagan was bullied and came off a very distant second best but for a centre half the size of Flint it should be meat and drink. It happens time and again. I won't even start on him letting a high ball bounce.
I'm hoping Mick sees his limitations sooner rather than later.

In short I hope they can see the flaws and make additions before the end of January. Centre midfield was a problem when Harris arrived and is still an issue now he has departed.

Re: Player Ratings

If you watch the first goal again, Andersen actually comes off the front post and Moore is still trying to do his zonal job. Flint is the spare man, and then Andersen comes from way in front of the front stick round the back and ghosts in completely unmarked. Flint has completely misread the flight of the ball, if he is in the right position he has an easy header. Doesn't help that Andersen is completely unmarked and untouched!

For the second goal, Flint is miles away from Bagan, he's picking up Helik. Our issue last night was Barnsley had 4 or 5 players who are very good in the air, and we have 3 so there's going to be a mismatch. It had absolutely bugger all to do with Flint.
