For me he isn't the answer struggles to often but that's not to say he isn't capable of having a very good game.

He is one of those players who is great when its a backs to the wall job. Like much of the last hour yesterday. Its when the game is a bit more open that he seems to get caught out.

Hes not good enough for where we aspire to be. He's now better than Morrison and playing them as a pair was a mistake. Shocking waste of £6 million. Defences need pace as strikers in 2019 are more likely to beat you for pace as most sides dont adopt an aerial policy. Nelson looking good though. And can pass which Flint seems unable to do.

and nml, Etheridge, Bamba.. prior to joing us none of them had finished higher than 7th either...
as for Nelson...300 hundred odd league games and just the last 6 at this level , he might as well not bother ?

Others mentioned aren't 30 and haven't cost £6 million though. I agree that where team finishes alone is not the be all and end all but still don't see value to us. It's yet another big money outlay that we will never recoup. Realistically what is a thirty two year old Flint worth in two years time with a year left on his contract?
