[Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?

Missing Ben Roberts

There may well be a lot in this post.

If I was a centre half in front of him I would be cacking my pants.

If you were a centre half in front of him we'd all be cacking our pants - including, probably, Big Bob Sanchez!

 

[WATFORD zero]

Someone needs to have a word with him about that monstrosity that he drives. Walking down Dyke road after the match tonight, the olive green turdmobil comes popping down the road like a box of cheap fireworks FFS.

Absolutely no taste

 

[Badger Boy]

There were worse performances than his tonight.

 

[Weststander]

What is wrong with Steele

He’s (Nicky) rusty.

Thankfully, I haven't kacked my pants, or pissed the sheets.

Don I win £5?

He’s the only one of those in our squad that have been touted for bigger clubs that I wouldn’t be sad to see leave.

The Number one keeper is not supposed to make so many mistakes. He costs us a goal every other game. I don’t know he always seems to get let off

 

[Springal]

4 weeks ago most posters think he should be Spains number 1, now everyone wants to sell him

 

[One Love]

He can be an excellent keeper

But nearly every other keeper in the league would have got us at least a point today

Geez!

 

[HantsSeagull]

there is no getting away from the fact that he had a complete shocker today. would be nice to have someone in the squad that could replace him if necessary.

Everyone forgets that under Roberts, Ryan went from being a decent keeper to one who couldn't save a shot.

Sanchez going that way without Roberts, but worse - he's forgotten his main strength which used to be claiming corners.

We have. Steele isn't exactly a walking disaster. McGill - a bit of a gamble, but really no more than a gamble of putting Sanchez in in the first place (and Sanchez himself might never have got in had Walton not injured himself coming for a high cross). Or we could recall Rushworth (you know, the one that someone big in Europe (was it Barcelona?) was scouting).

We'll have to see if RDZ is more worried than some of the more worried NSCers, I guess. Probably not, I think.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Bad game from him.
It cost us, but it happens.

Not buying the " He has at least one mistake in him every game" comments.
Not my experience of watching him play, at all.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Coaching seems to have changed. He keep batting balls to oncoming players instead of conceding corners. Fine keeper for our level if want to be barely top 10 (amazing). Needs time to become a borderline EuroCup level player. Hope Spain National Team time has done him good not made him big headed. Or more accurately complacent.

But only you have forgotten Ryan went from playing with 2 (two) brick walls in front of him.
At least one brick wall in front of them.
And everyone else playing 'they can't win if they don't score' football.

To, hey let's open this up more, remove 2 of the 3 brick walls and replace them with players who'd rather look nice than stop everything with their face.

Every single keeper performed above their abilities under BR.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

He didn't have a great game, true, but I don't understand the he cost us comments. Of the four goals only the fourth was poor. Nothing he could do about the first two, the third was a decent save where the rebound could have gone anywhere. Unfortunately it fell to an Arsenal player that Dunk was watching from the comfort of his armchair, slippers on, pipe in mouth, newspaper on lap.

the one thing that intrigues me about him is that for such a unit who can be some dominant on crosses he does have a tendency to be a bit flappy/completely miss the ball. If he sorts that out he'll be pretty much the complete keeper.

 

[Solid at the back]

Some absolute weapons on this thread. He's a had a bad couple of games, and people want to sell him, he is young and one of the best keepers in the league. We haven't spent all these years and money to develop him so that we can bin him off after a couple of poor performances.

We were playing the best team in the league without our two best players, I am not really sure what people expect of this team.
