Dan1234 1,048 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Did anyone notice how shocking Flint was with the ball vs Gateshead? To be honest he'd be the one I'd be trying to get rid of asap. Just don't see how he fits into a ball playing team without making 4 or 5 serious mistakes per game. Link to post Share on other sites

You can interchange the names flint and shotton there btw, they're both bad with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to say Flint will be on more money but isn't there reports of Shotton's wage being massive? What I would say is that I believe Flint still holds a higher value, plus Shotton at least has some athletic ability to make up for his mistakes, Flint just looks horribly exposed.

Foogle 2,078 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yeah those teams are aiming for the automatics we're aiming for a sniff at top 6. I do think teams that come down will struggle to go back up within a year, was Newcastle the last team to do it? And they had Benitez. Link to post Share on other sites

True pal. What's interesting is now some of our first team are saying last season was a failure and not good enough. No player would enjoy Pulis as manager. Link to post Share on other sites

mj south 610 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I honestly believe that last season our squad was good enough for promotion, all that let us down was having a manager that wasn't good enough 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wings and full backs were just simply not good enough, we would have had no chance against any of the play off teams across 2 legs imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Keep in mind Pulis had about a decade of top flight experience. I expect us to do worse this year just because I imagine our goals conceded will sky rocket as we settle into our new style. The place Pulis really let us down was the transfer market, leaving the squad horribly unbalanced. Link to post Share on other sites
