[Albion] Maty Ryan dropped for Fulham game.

[Weststander]

Anyone else heard rumours that Ryan is going to be dropped tonight?

You were correct!


To the NSC’ers who’ve stoutly defended Ryan as making no errors this season costing us goals and points, is dropping Ryan an unjustice?

 

[portslade seagull]

not even on the bench

 

[waterhouse]

Don't think thats true - names haven't been pulled out of the hat yet

Looks like it is true

 

[Guinness Boy]

Is Steele simply there to warm the bench and do warm ups etc? Or is Ryan actually injured. Steele has been benchwarmer all the time except for the last time Maty was dropped.

New keeper incoming in Jan I reckon.

 

[de la zouch]

The correct decision from Potter, Ryan was becoming a liability. New keeper incoming in Jan.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Muddled thinking.

Huge gamble on Sanchez and I’m not convinced.

Hard to comprehend even thinking about it but part of me would take the defeat now if it meant he was gone in the morning.

I refer the learned gentlemen to post #22.

 

[Bob!]

Was that the “Bring on the Champions!” Match? We lost.

Yes, Yes it was.

And we were Champions at the end of the season

 

[Maupays fragrant shart]

If Ryan made a few more saves perhaps he’d be playing. Sanchez will be alright

Have you seen the film Inception?

It’s like once someone allows the idea of the manager needing to go take root, that is literally all they can think about.

I can both think Ryan is a capable premier league player AND in a period of poor form.

There are posters who even this week intimate or say that Ryan has been faultless, we’re lucky to have him, he’s every bit as good as other EPL keepers.

Not [MENTION=15363]Plooks[/MENTION] or [MENTION=16159]Bold Seagull[/MENTION], but I wonder what they feel about Ryan being dropped. Shirley an injustice?

I haven't seen anyone say he's been faultless.

 

[Weststander]

I haven't seen anyone say he's been faultless.

I can think of at least one poster who consistently asks anyone to come up with evidence of one Ryan error costing a goal, others who post metrics and graphics showing Ryan is as good as other EPL first choices.

If some people believe that he’s made no errors costing an EPL goal this season, my query to them, not you, is whether Ryan being dropped is an injustice?

 

[DJ NOBO]

Once again Ryan has been dropped after one of his better games. Same goes for Sanchez.
Potter has his own style, I’ll give him that.

As others have said in this thread, it's ok to think Ryan is fine but that doesn't mean being dropped is an 'injustice'. It doesn't have to be as dramatic as you're trying to make it.

Potter may not even have seen the goals as mistakes for dropping him, perhaps it’s distribution, communication, proactive actions, dominating his 6 yard box. Who knows, we might all conclude it’s the first goal against Leicester that’s triggered it, might be specific instructions he’s not been able to carry out. Excited to see Sanchez, having been in the front couple of rows behind the goal for the Saints game - he is one big athlete, you’re not demanding he buys you another drink he bumps your beer out your hand that’s for sure!

 

[darkwolf666]

Every players position should always be up for scrutiny, just don't like the way on this board some names get trotted out again and again...

Let's just hope tomorrow morning we don't have a Maty would have stopped that thread.

I don’t scapegoat Ryan, plus he seems a really good bloke, I love his interaction with supporters at games.

Just two issues, his lack of height imho means he cannot command the box, plus he seems so rarely to have a game where he pulls off some incredible saves handing us an unlikely win. I’ve seen the likes of Pope do that.

Should we stay on the EPL, I think he won’t remain our number one.

I think even those of us that 'defend' Maty agree with this.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

I think it's the right desicion.
