Not Jack mate can’t move him from midfield he’s been immense. Mccrorie I wouldn’t disagree with Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,942 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He’s not been that great tbh. I got slaughtered for saying that last week ? Doesn’t shy out a tackle right enough and that’s what you need sometimes but he needs to sort out his positioning and passing ability if he wants any chance of staying in the team ahead of Barisic.

6superbarry6 14,701 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He’s a squad player for me he’ll be dropped for Barisic,to think people want to drop Tav or move him into midfield to accommodate this bang average footballer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,511 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If Wallace is fit and could settle his differences with the board, I would put him in there. He is still decent cover for left back and a better left back than Flannagan imo. If not, I would put Halliday in there. It is not a great prospect, but I can't agree with this idea of moving Tav, then moving someone else into right back etc. Halliday actually did okay when he played left back previously. Not spectacular, but he wasn't the absolute disaster I feared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will never be a first pick He is very reckless if that’s your cup of tea fine but not for me at all. It’s all about opinions Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 'sit at left back, defend, don't get delusions of grandeur by trying to attack, just sit there and defend' kind of instruction. Fuck no He can’t do a job at CH or DM fuck shoehorning him into left back. Fuck sake ? eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookingForEric 133 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The one thing we have been missing these past few years is mental and physical toughness in our defence. Flanagan has his faults at left back, not least his speed of recovery but despite this he has added some serious steel and demonstrates how we are not for rolling over as easy as in the recent past. Pleased he is with us. Rum Ham and eejay the dj 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 45,598 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Loved it from him, kind of don't give a fuck attitude we've been missing in our squad for 10+ years. Don't think he'll let us down in a big way, consistent and solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positioning is woeful. Has no left foot. Ok in the tackle but often rash. Passing more often than not puts us under pressure. I really don’t rate him at all.

6superbarry6 14,701 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Flanagan is a back up and squad option and I’m pretty sure that’s what he was signed for,there’s no way Tav is being moved/dropped to accommodate him ffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
