Flavell

Flav cost us a few goals yesterday got none of the ball for the pen. And what was he doing for there 2nd was like someone tied his shoe laces together. New keeper definitely a priority in the summer.

 

Might need one anyway - piece in the paper about Premier League clubs ready to bid in the summer

 

Don’t be daft.
The best keeper in the world would struggle with that outfield 10 in front of him. He’s a young kid & has done well with what has been asked of him.

 

I get he's only young and is only going to get better but cost us a few goals yesterday. Admittedly the defence didn't help him.

 

I hope were looking for a Heinz Muller type.That would be my first brick in the new build.

 

Ready to bid for Flavell? Be surprised at that, looks like he’s got a lot to learn yet. His best attribute so far that I’ve seen is his ability with ball at his feet.

 

Good grief. Playing away at big spending, high flying Big ****** Birmingham, with the referee on their payrole, a pi55 poor defence infront of him (with one missing after 3 minutes) and you're blaming our 5th or 6th choice keeper for letting a goal or two in.

Incidentally, how good were you at what vou do at 19?

 

You are comedy gold. Yes he didn’t have a great game but he wasn’t in the top five worst performers in the team. Barely top ten. He needs to be stronger and needs to learn. He isn’t the finished article. But I’d be quite happy if he was here next season either starting or second choice.

Priority? There are much, much bigger priorities. Him and Smith will be fine. We are absolutely Boracic Lint mate. He’s not far off the very last concern.

Though I have also heard there are suitors from both the premier league and championship that have been impressed by Flavell and considering offers. Hopefully their scouts and professional coaches won’t be influenced by your view…

 

They see potential and can afford to take a gamble

 

He's 21, 22 in September, where's 19 come from?

 

Don't think I can ever remember us using 5 different goalkeepers in 1 season.

Gone are the days when we used to have ever presents like Bobby Horn David Watson and Clive Baker.

 

By saying he was hardly in the top 10 of worst yesterday is saying he was one of the better players considering we had 10 players on the field most of the game. That's comedy gold. Not saying he won't have a good career but he conceded the pen then God knows what he was doing for the 2nd. Also some were arguing he was partly to blame for the wigan equaliser.

 

Therein lies the problem. Just sign a regular keeper on a permanent deal. Our defence is bad enough without changing keepers every few weeks.

 

What paper/teams?

 

Who had a good game yesterday? They fought, up to the fourth goal they did ok. But no better than that. Flavell conceded six but wouldn’t really say he made any massive balls ups.

The penalty is something that any keeper at any level will do - at least he was being proactive. The falling to the floor goal - comical really. Needs to be much stronger. Though let’s be honest many refs would have given him the foul - in fact that ref would have given him it if he had a Birmingham shirt on, or if we’d been playing anyone but them or Wrexham.

He has more presence in goal than most of the rest we’ve had this season (I exclude gauci as we didn’t see that much of him), he’s twenty one, not nineteen, but has missed a bit of his development time as he’s had one or two injuries.

I’d sooner develop him than anyone else’s keeper - or maybe sell him and loan him back to play him for a season if someone wants him. He’s been no worse than Slonina, Killip or Smith.

 

Humphrys played well, dkd and connell wasn't bad. We were always up against it after the red.

Never a foul on him for the 2nd goal in a million years.

 

To be fair, 3 of them were injured.

 

And beaten at near post for Exeters winner. He has certainly contributed to giving a goal away in each of the last 3 games.

 

No I don’t think it was a foul either - he was soft as grease - but they do get given let’s be honest

 

So what....still young.
