Big Jack Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If we are signing Flint we must be getting rid of a centre back or we are going to convert him into a target man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it paves the way to let the lads Shaw and Brennan out on loan. They both looked as though they can become very capable cbs at this level, so need games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted he scores a few goals from set plays, a bit like good old Reda, but it hardly covers up his defensive shortcomings Add to that, he doesn’t fit the age profile we’re supposedly looking at Exactly this. The bloke cant defend to save his life. No way he would be a professional footballer if he wasn't really tall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Here's an idea Monk, just dont play 3 at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Its a no from me. 31, loss of form and on decent wages. Would have been a good signing 3 years ago but not now. Clarke-Salter would be a better option IMO but id look at Max Kilman at wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Clarke-Salter for me also, reasonably quick and good on the ball. Presumably Dunkley, when he’s fit, will take the central role, or at least compete with Lees for it. Iorfa on the right, and the left footed Clarke-Salter on the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If we sell Iorfa and replace him with Flint, we’ll be down faster than a honeymooners knickers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone's injury (Lees?) Is more serious than a couple of weeks and we need first team ready cover? Considering Iorfa injured, Shaw injured and Uroghide coming back from injury (and never played CB for us?) And Dunkley not fit yet either. Ordinarily I wouldn't have a problem with playing the younger players, but if we were forced to play the likes of Shaw, Uroghide without experience around them and/or Palmer or Odubajo at CB we'd start shipping a lot of goals and the club would get crucified for not acting. Wouldn't be my choice though, unless we are facing this kind of defensive emergency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoanRanger Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It's a yes from me. Let him, Lees and Dunkley (when fit) fight it out for two spots beside Dom. Let Brennan and Shaw go out on loan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 wouldn't buy him but a season loan might work for all parties 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 The teams we really struggled against defensively last season were those who played quick stuff with clever runners - Brentford, Blackburn. Fulham and to be fair we got away with it in other games against that sort of team eg leeds. In general we were defensively OK against the more direct teams like Boro. I like FLint but he would solve a problem we dont really have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Unless someone is leaving, I can't see why we need him. Having him alongside Dom and Lee's, would we a defensive upgrade on Borner and JVA. However, they are doing well enough for me at present, whereas we have priorities elsewhere e.g. left wing back and another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care if he makes the odd mistake, most centre-halves do at this level otherwise they wouldn’t be at this level. I want someone in who drags the whole team up the pitch when they drop deep. I want someone who screams at his fellow players to pick up their man late in games when concentration is on the wane. I want someone who gets on the end of setpieces and at the very least creates a chance or forces a save. If he fits the bill, get him in. Exactly my sentiments bud, especially when dunkley is fit he'd be a good fit sat between him and iorfa. As for the he's too old and dosent fit the new agenda idea. Successful teams tend to always have an old experienced cb in there with younger legs around it works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Mr C and Garry Monk.... ”Who is left, who hasn’t got a club yet, and how much money have we got left?” ”Dunno, I thought you were keeping track”. ”No, I thought you were”. ”What’s Steve Claridge doing?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
