Hmnn, I sat right behind the goal at the Southampton game the other day and there was absolutely no interaction with us at all, although I did miss kick off by a couple of minutes. The rest of the first half he didn't so much as look at as once
I was hoping for at least a few verses of Waltzing Matilda, or Kookaburra in the gum tree

We've faced the 2nd fewest shots this season but have conceded the 4th most and made the fewest saves. Those stats are what's keeping us down the wrong end.
Ryan’s form is undoubtedly poor (suspect Leicester’s first goal was the trigger for today’s action), and resting, dropping or whatever the term is may or may not help.......but he’s neither as good or bad as he’s portrayed on here (along with every other player). His stats this season are pretty damning in terms of shots saved though.
So many posters are prone to ridiculous hyperbole - we lose a game and we’re ‘shocking’, ‘disgraceful’ etc and several players are ‘league one at best’......and when we win the opposite is true. The reality is most have a ‘5’ game and an ‘8.5’ game and hover between the two game by game. Most of the team having 6s and 7s and we lose.......
What we really haven’t had from Ryan are the real howlers that virtually every other keeper seems prone to make.....just a succession of ‘could he gave done better ?’ instances......

Any lifelong house fans out there get a bit confused when they see Sanchez's name on the teamsheet?

New keeper in and Ryan + Steele/Walton out.

See the match?
Great performance from Sanchez.
Sanchez absolutely has to keep the shirt. Will be hugely ****ed off if Ryan is back in again for Sheff Utd.
Decision thoroughly justified. Clean sheet. Top class triple save. If he doesn't keep the jersey for the next few matches now I'll start believing the idiots that say Potter hasn't got a clue.

Must surely keep the shirt for Sunday. Not much to do but was called into action twice to make good saves.

It’s a very small sample size, but I’m hugely encouraged by what I’ve seen from Sanchez.

He has a presence that Ryan doesn't have. No way he should lose his place after that performance.

I adore Maty, but Sanchez pulled of a MOM performance with those three saves in the second half and saved us a point there, which sadly Maty hasn't done all season.

It was claimed that Maty Ryan was dropped for 'Tactical Reasons'
Well, if Potter drops Sanchez for the Sheffield game after the performance he put in at Craven Cottage then I think Tony Bloom has every right to 'drop' Potter for the rest of his Albion career for tactical reasons

I have often said this, but after the Leicester game accepted that it was probably time for a change.
Seeing how much more confident the defence were last night, was a revelation.
Dunk in particular looked to have a weight off his mind.
Sanchez's finger tip save in the first half was a great example of the ones that Maty doesn't get to.
His shirt to lose now.

I did enjoy seeing Dunk thump Sanchez on the back after the triple save at the end.
Reminded me of the D&D assault on Stockdale after the double penalty save against massive
A mark of respect for the young man.

Sorry, but now you have said that I need to know who they were.
