And Reading, PNE, Birningham etc. Such a shame after winning unexpected games at Sheffield United and Middlesbrough, but we'd all probably have settled for a top 8 finish at the start of the season.
Yep great season,i hope the trip to Hull could be a bonus for us,but home form cost us a top two finish this season. Will be there shouting them on,
IMO whatever happens, under the circumstances, losing 3 key players (Flint, big loss) and struggling for out and out striker, injuries to keepers and Smith.......we've had a very good season with an amazing run unbeaten... If LJ & co can pick up 3 or 4 decent players, who's to know what might happen, next season..
You really Flint was a big loss? I think Kalas and Webster are both ahead of him defensively. Imo the biggest loss in hindsight was Reid!
I have to agree Bobby Reid was our biggest miss, saying that you could also rely on Flinty scoring a few goals could have been very important this season.
Perhaps Reid's been a loss. Maybe we'll know more if he can get in relegated Cardiff's team in the Championship next season. Whatever, one things for sure, no team on the Planet will pay £10million to sign him. Well done Mr Ashton.
I do like Webster & Kalas, but having Flint, that was part of a squad would have given us an alternative & a difference presence...also a leader on the pitch...
But I don't think we would have got Webster or even Kalas for that matter if Flint hadn't been sold. So its one or the other really Oh God I see that RR has agreed with me so you are probably right after all
Flint only scored once for boro this season, Webster twice for city...Flint was brilliant for us but Webster is better.
I agree Webster is a very good player and wouldn't look to swap, just saying Flint would have been an alternative plus scored a bundle for us.
I’ll be at Hull too, only thing that’s bothering me is the coaches leave at 5am , going to be a long day but hopefully worth it in the end
Welcome back Joe and Bobby. Not blaming them for leaving and still got a sneaky feeling Joe will be bought by another Prem club but Bobby wasn’t played enough to be taken on by another.
In real terms Reid was a 1 season wonder, so, as you say the club did exceptionally well to get £10 million for him. We will never know if he could have done it again this season, maybe, maybe not. I was sure that Warnock would not know how to use or get the best out of him which is why I was surprised at his decision to go there - and so it proved, he’s barely played.
