Flynn Downes

[disconnect]

What happened to Sesay? Seems to have completely disappeared but looked like he had good potential. The sooner we get Charles back and can ditch Downes (hopefully forever) the better. Big attitude problem and not actually very good.

Can't believe it's the same player as the Championship promo season who was at the heart of the midfield and who we really missed when he wasn't available. Maybe it's the health issues affecting his energy levels, but given he was close to a move back to Ipswich suspect it's more that he's going through the motions (maybe in all senses...).

Should have been booted out of the club immediately for doing that weird West Ham thing at the PlayOff celebrations.

Never forget the promotion celebrations where he shouted 'Irons, Irons' as he waved to the crowd. Maybe he thought it was his way back to WHU and that it didn't happen coupled with the departure of RM has meant that we've been carrying a midfield recycler for over a year. Reminds me of a lad I was in a team with back in the day who just couldn't handle things when the going got tough as it was all about him.

I think some people on here are being incredibly harsh on Flynn. It doesn't help when we are being completely left exposed through the middle of the park. 

[dsrdorset]

A disgraceful piss poor excuse of a footballer. Literally stealing a living. Doesn't give a shit about the club or fans, isn't fit to wear the shirt. Oh, and a cunt too.

I can't bear to watch him any more. Flynn 'the wall' Downes. All he does is bounce the ball back to where it came from, infuriating beyond belief. My god man, turn with the ball and move it forwards.

He's part of the reason that we're exposed.

That's what annoyed me the most. In space, with no opposition player within twenty yards of him and yet he just pings the ball back first time. He might just as well not have been there.

After manning the player left who I'd most like to see never play for us again.

[Lord Duckhunter]

What % of his passes are back to the player who passed to him? If there is a record, he’s fucking got it, alongside his sideways and backwards record. One of the biggest wankers I’ve seen in one of our shirts, bottled a couple of tackles yesterday as well. We need him out of the club asap…

I think it's way over 100%. Certainly seems like it.

That would explain a lot...

I've said this a couple of times. Got shot down by people claiming "it was just a bit of banter". It was a fucking weird thing to do. Clearly not banter either given the way he's played and behaved since.

Certainly lost a lot of time for him after that, and then his sulk when Legohead was booted out.

The main positive about seeing Downes in the current kit is that from a distance a bloke with blond hair is reminiscent of David Peach. 
 

As for the contributions Flynn makes now, there’s not much of a case to make. 

[rallyboy]

Backwards, casual, ineffective, uninspiring - none of which we need right now.

[Osvaldorama]

I used to really rate him. But he’s been so bad the last few weeks. Sad.
