Flinders and Ifill

[Wilko]

Iffil actually lives in the swanky flats above sports soccer world on North street. Must be tempting to play for your home town team SURELY!

You know what i thought Flinders was over hyped and actually no better than kuipers or Sullivan. In Kuipers we have a committed and loyal keeper and a top understudy in sullivan. Ifill would be a top signing and realistic. It's inevitable he will play for the Albion one day and I think that time is now.

Ifills not likely to want to move given he has based his career in the south (apart from a year at Sheff utd) and was born and raised in Brighton. WIKI says he has just had a baby as well. If a championship club are to come in for him I would imagine they would need to be driving distance from Brighton (are Reading the only team?). If not there are plenty of league 1 clubs who would be suitable - charlton, Colchester, southampton, millwall to name 4 - He IS a Brighton fan, relatively near the end of his career given the injuries so might not be looking for a bumper payday and on his day is a very good player indeed. Would surely be worth a look!

There is no way Sully will sign up for another stint at number 2 not unless he is guaranteed a chance at number 1.... after hearing what he said on Sat and knowing what I know I am fairly sure he'll be off

Yes Silent Bob Flinders had a spell under Slade at Yeovil it wouldn't surprise me if he joins us again !!.Chris Weale has been released by Bristol City and he
played under Slade too !!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Flinders could be a contender if Sully is given the old heave ho next week especially as Flinders was on loan at Yeovil so Slade knows how he plays.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Heard Flinders did well at Falkirk and think he did ewell here. It2s true that GK is not a problem position right now but if Sully leaves then I would get Flinders in pretty sharpish. MK is still good for League One but he's not getting younger and there were a few more injuries this year so if Sully goes we need a good replacement.

People actually want flinders? We won 16% of games with him in the team (for comparison, that year we won 48% with kuipers and 36% with Henderson). I think we won on his debut, possibly one other win, the rest of his three month stay with us was full of losses.

I'd prefer Henderson to him, and I really didn't like Henderson.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Henderson STARRED for Grimsby on loan and was largely responsible for keeping them up.

Hopefully he is returning to full fitness and form.

A quality keeper.

And Kuipers thats for sure.
Don't get the adualtion he attains TBH as he is no better than average League one standard at best.

You miss my point. I wasn't comparing a new No.1 with Kuipers - i'ts a given that he would be better than Kuipers or there'd be no point in signing him.

My point was that it shouldn't be Flinders because he isn't of that standard.

I guess FDM gets some adulation because of his length of service to the club. Same as OGH who is also no better than average League One standard...which is a bit higher than the club itself at the moment!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Flinders had a good spell with us. But it was three or four years ago now, and he STILL hasn't really made it anywhere has he? I have my doubts.

I'd still like a new keeper to replace one of either Kuipers or Sullivan- probably Kuipers because he's past his best. But I don't think it's Flinders. Unlikely to be Chris Weale either as I'd imagine he'll sign for Yeovil again.

it is just easier to say I made up the bit about Millwall.... I am not gonna go into a long debate..... berate me if you like!
