[Albion] Maty Ryan

[Icy Gull]

Stay classy, there is zero mileage in a random gloating bounce

Whilst on the subject of ex goalkeepers I watched a slimmed down David Stockdale in goal for Wycombe at Ipswich last week . Distribution was excellent and made a couple of good saves, seemed to be enjoying his football all be it in league 1. A crowd of 26,500 made for a decent atmosphere at Portman Road which is not what I've experienced when travelling with the Albion over recent years .No sign of Walton though, assume he's injured.

Hope Maty is getting plenty of games after his move. A decent servant to us but the time was right for all concerned.

Walton missed the game as he tested positive for covid.

Was it really 2021 that Ryan was dropped? Feels like Big Bob has been #1 for two years at least.

Not quite….think it was just before Xmas last season he became first choice (Fulham game, 18 Dec)

Great. We are 8th. Let's celebrate by bouncing a thread to encourage people to put the boot into an ex-player.

Not all unkind thoughts have to be posted on here.

I don't feel I was putting the boot in. I was pointing out one of the reasons we have got to 8th is Sanchez ability to pull off saves like the one he made yesterday.

The thread bounce will encourage people to slag Ryan off.

Just so unnecessary - that was all done and dusted.

Anyway, no more on this thread from me. I hope it sinks back down the board.

F**k me I hope they run out of stupid pills soon.

So are we all in agreement now that droppping Matt Ryan was one of the biggest turning points of 2021 and has contributed massively to us being a top 10 club now?


Matt Ryan was soooo bad in the last 2 seasons.

No not really in agreement.

It did help that Sanchez is a better keeper but nothing comes down to one player.

Very much agreed. Matty goes back to our very first season in the EPL. Nobody starting yesterday was playing for us then. There have been 'upgrades' everywhere as players have been replaced by those with better PL quality.

Nothing to do with the other 10 players then.

Well said. We have a Connolly thread to put the boot in and post unkind thoughts.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Can anyone play this game? I'll go for Cucurella is better than Kerry Mayo. Lol! Where is he now? Snigger, etc.

The other 10 players arent substantially different though. Ok cucerella is a big upgrade, but not much else. Who can forget when we used to dominate games like man u and Chelsea at home, only for Matty to let in EVERY shot on target.

The replacement of Matt Ryan is the biggest factor in our resurgence IMHO. Controversial and happy to argue the point.

Think you're trying too hard to be controversial tbf. Maty Ryan did very well for us at first and then his form dropped off. Seemed passionate for the Albion during most of his time here. No hard feelings from me. Sanchez is a better keeper of course but was too young to displace Ryan earlier. And no, Sanchez is not the biggest factor imo (and if you thought he was why not post on the Sanchez thread rather than the Ryan one?).

But I am convinced that Ryan would have got nowhere near the ball that Sanchez saved in the second half v Everton.

No chance he’d reach a shot smashed right at the top corner...

I take your point, but this was from further out, Ryan had time to move his feet and had far less distance to cover in the air. So no, based on the many examples I could find, I don't think he'd have reached it.

I'm not sure why you're getting your knickers in a twist with me on this. I clearly said "one of the reasons". And I don;t think anyone is disputing that Sanchez has made a difference. I am not putting the boot in - I saw an opportunity to discuss Sanchez' astonishing save yesterday that seemed to have gone a bit under the radar.

Jesus, there are some sensitive folk on NSC.*

Edit: * as if that is new news!
