The Verdict

When you consider just how poor Cardiff have been in the Championship in recent months, they will be hoping that this particular victory will be able to kick-start their season.

Flint will be looking to use his wealth of experience at this level to help his side push on following the international break.

Having made 237 appearances in the second-tier during his career to date, Flint clearly knows exactly what it takes to compete in this division and thus could prove to be a valuable asset for the Bluebirds this season.

Currently averaging a club-high WhoScored match rating of 7.22 in the Championship, the defender will be confident in his ability to deliver the goods in Cardiff's upcoming clashes with Preston North End and Hull City.
