Neverbefore 10,942 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 He has a point. 2 forward thinking players does equal the record for how many forward players hes ever played. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,942 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 He just needs to work out how those 2 players get the ball when the other 8 players sole purpose is to defend. Link to post Share on other sites

What can I say but bloody hell the season is not about just this one game and the £55 million team is managed by Pulis himself. The guy just talks absolute crap how can anyone take him seriously, oh apart from SG. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,008 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Sad team choice, formation and subs.. 5 at the back when he himself says we have a lack of defenders, then persisting with it when it clearly wasn't working Mikel and Clayton stood on top of eachother for 90 minutes. Clayton in general just brutal. Besic being taken off was very confusing, at least he tries to move forward Assombalonga being put on the left wing should be a criminal offence Flint was put on his *** 3-4 times Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 613 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 He says we've only got 2 recognised defenders so why is he playing a back 5??? Why not play Shotton and Flint at CB McNair at RB and surely we have a LB in the under 23s if not the play Downing there. Then a midfield 3 and 3 forwards! If defence is currently our weakness how about helping them out by actually trying to keep the ball abit more? Best form of defence is attack! Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 In a season of disappointing garbage, Aden Flint has got to be one of my biggest disappointments of the lot. I naively expected a lot more from him, but think he might have just been a one season wonder from last season. The Daryl Murphy of centre backs. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Derby could still have a points deduction coming their way for abusing the FFP rules. The EFL meeting is scheduled for Wednesday so that could throw up an interesting twist in the play off battle. Birmingham being deducted 9 points for breaching FFP rules has left a precedent that should leave Derby very concerned. Link to post Share on other sites

HoyteForLeftBack 194 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 “Take Darren Randolph out of it and the other eight players are all forward-thinking players.” You ***ing what!? I think I’ve caused my brain to haemorrhage by trying to process that..... Link to post Share on other sites

I naively expected a lot more from him, but think he might have just been a one season wonder from last season. The Daryl Murphy of centre backs. I honestly think he's up there with the likes of Phil Whelan and Sean St Ledger as one of the worst CBs I've ever seen play for us. And that's based on his lack of ability, not on what we paid for him. If he'd cost £700,000 I'd still want him as far away from the team as possible. I mean, I think Wheater's out of contract in the summer and I would genuinely rather have him in the squad instead of Flint. He's just awful. A big, slow, lumbering donkey.
