Jon Flanagan

[Muddled]

Frankly he played safe

If we're talking about yesterdays game, +1.

If you're talking about acdmackay's comment in August, -1.

Frankly he played safe

BUT that was not what we needed -make yourself available and when required get the ball into dangerous areas!!!

He didn't do anything less than what Kelly gives us offensively.

With exception of GJ we don't have a fullback that can get forward and truly give us some width on the flanks.

I thought Flanagan had the good game given that he had very little first team experience this year.

To me he looks like a genuine prospect I hope he comes through.

[Havors]

Really struggled at times against agbonlahor. He isnt strong enough physically when playing against big players.

Decent enough back up after Kelly/Johnson

[RedReet]

I'm a fan of Flanagan but the past two games has shown me he's nowhere near as close to the first team as I thought he was.

[RichC]

he was sold short for the goal from Shelvey yesterday and took some time to get back into the groove but got back into the game 2nd half. Young, promising fullback who has been drafted into a back 4 leaking goals with no confidnce at the moment.

He'll come good.

Flanno is class, he's young but the lad has obvious talent and composure for such a tender age

Please don't comment on our younger players anymore.

[Gibbo]

Out of his depth, got a way to go yet.

He's been dodgy but this is whats annoying, theres uproar if a kid gets left out of a squad then uproar as soon as they make a mistake, see this lad and Insua.

[Zapater]

I think he'll be fine. He's shown enough to suggest he'll be a decent player, he was awful today mind, probably a little lucky not be be sent off, and definitely responsible for Doni's red but aside from this game I think he's shown enough. Still needs a lot of time and improvement, but it's not like he's our first choice anyway, we have Kelly and Johnson ahead of him for the meantime. Which will allow him plenty of time to improve, where he just needs to fill in here and there. Definitely wouldn't write him off just yet.

[Shaggy]

Very poor tonight, he's kind of been a disaster waiting to happen for a while. Felt sorry for him.

When he came into the side he played with zero fear but his confidence has eroded since the first game this season against Sunderland when he was pretty poor. Nowhere near ready. Should maybe go on loan for the whole of next season, it'd do him good I reckon.

its ****ing idiotic

[Maxiedge]

Have to say that Olson guy properly exaggerated his dive (for Flanagans first yellow) then gets up gesturing for the yellow, the cunt.

I think he has an ideal squad role to allow him to develop and mature. In time hopefully he'll be worthy of shouldering more responsibility, but at this stage we can certainly forgive him an off day like this.
