I'm not sure many agree with you about Steele being the better shot-stopper! With his feet, yes, certainly most people seem to be with De Zerbi on that.

[Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?

Maybe just maybe he is being left out of the squad at the moment, because of his attitude and reaction to being not first choice currently.
I could be totally wrong, but I get the impression Sanchez is a very confident person and possibly thought he was nailed on first choice and has not reacted well. I would not be surprised to see him in-between the sticks on Sunday. I hope he learns from Steele who patiently waited for his chance to come, and now look at him. I do think distribution is a main factor though, and can see him leaving in the summer, if he sulks and becomes disruptive.

I’ve heard Sanchez can be very arrogant and has a tendency to wind others up. I watched him in the warm up down at Bournemouth and he simply was not bothered - the coaches were firing shots at him and he was going through the motions and just sticking out a boot to stop the shot. He then got bollocked at half time by one of the coaches for not doing what the the other subs were doing - again just going through the motions.

Sanchez is easily the better shot stopper. Steele makes saves, but they're the sort of saves that Roy Keane would describe as doing his job.
Steele also has mistakes in him. He scored an OG last week, and almost gave Palace an undeserved equaliser in injury time. Thankfully, they're shit and didn't capitalise.

I guess we’ll agree to disagree.

I think that Ben Roberts leaving had a big impact on Robert.
He’s labelled as being ‘very confident’ by other players which could translate to arrogant.
I expect he feels that being dropped is not a ‘kick up the backside’ but more of a signal to move on which I’m not sure it was meant to be, but this looks like the route it’s going. His attitude hasn’t been great since being dropped and that’s a shame.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to Man Utd as back up to/ competition for De Gea.

Sanchez will move on, tricky to say where.
Also difficult to predict what we will do, but my feeling is that Steele will start next season as number 1. He just seems the perfect fit.
My guess is we will buy someone to compete, cover and play cup games, Rushworth will come as 3rd keeper and start the process of working his way up, McGill will get a decent level loan and Scherpen will be sold.

2nd/3rd choice and playing a handful of cup games is no good for a young keeper developing his game. He'll only get better by playing as first choice somewhere so will more likley be loaned out to a Championship team.
Just something else to throw out there but I remember a month or two back Sanchez posting a random pic on insta in Hertfordshire with his gf. Seemed strange at the time as he barely posts as it is. Let alone a dull pic in the middle of nowhere.
Could it be spurs or arsenal? Spurs need a goalie....Sanchez was left at home for the arsenal game.

Is Beadle about?
Oh come on! We're better than pinching jokes from the Crewe fans' forum, surely?
I didn't know they had a forum, any good?
Not much in it, TBH - most League1 and 2 clubs' fans forums don't have anything like the footfall of NSC (or other big PL clubs).I didn't know they had a forum, any good?

Or could it just be that gf is from Herts or her folks live there?
Sanchez has only played at Wembley in front of 90,000 once. He kept a clean sheet.
Bob cant save Pens if his life depended on it whereas weve seen Jason save a few so I'm not sure there is that much in it tbh. I cant exactly remember a catalogue of world class saves by Sanchez. It sounds like he's also downing tools which is only going to end one way. Out on loan.
Rushworth is going to be better than both of them anyway and will have the jersey in a couple of years.

He did'nt do very well at claiming that one cross at Selhurst Park this season...
Steele has a slightly better save % than Sanchez

Where's this stat? Someone posted the comparison the other day that showed the opposite.
