[Albion] Mister Bobby Sanchez

[Rookie]

The claim from the corner at the end was something else, supreme confidence

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Can't wait to be back at the Amex.

Roaring him in as he takes up position in front of the North Stand for the first time.

 

[blue-shifted]

He's a good looking fella too .

My Daughter is quite smitten with him.

Your daughter?

Come on, it's 2021 now, you can say it

 

[blue-shifted]

If I had the chance to swap with any other keeper in the Premier League I wouldn't swap. Bobby all the way

Ok that's bollocks, maybe only 2 though

I just like the way he comes for and catches crosses, rather than the current trend among most keepers of punching or flapping, given it immediately takes the pressure away.

That catch at the end was like scoring the winner

Felt like a goal, love Maty, but he would never...

 

[Hugo Rune]

Sanchez has improved the way Dunk and Webster play because they now have confidence in the man behind them

This.

They can concentrate on their own jobs at set pieces rather than worrying about covering for a keeper who can’t or won’t claim.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Have to give credit to Potter on this one as well I think. Though many of us wanted the change, it’s still a big call to ditch your experienced international GK for a 23 year old rookie half way through the season. Lots of managers wouldn’t have done (including his predecessor I suspect).

 

[Originunknown]

Agreed, one slight critique, a few of us did recognise that we needed to replace the goalkeeper. I’ve been calling it since the end of last season.

As someone who took a lot of abuse from Matty Ryan fans for, possibly over 6 months, I feel obligated to say that.

Self indulgent drivel. Thank you for feeling so obligated to do your critiquing..

Sanchez has been a breath of fresh air.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Trying to think when we last had a keeper who could do that sort of thing, as a matter of routine anyway.

Corrigan?

Mark Beeney imho

 

[fruitnveg]

Just feels me with conference.

Consensual I hope.

 

[Munkfish]

Is Sanchez only not on loan as Walton got injured?

It really did feel like it. Superb.

 

[atomised]

Defence seems to have grown massively in confidence since the switch. For a young keeper he has made the step up so well.

 

[TugWilson]

Rob Sanchez take a bow mate , you just shut out Liverpool at Anfield . How does it feel to be considered one of the best keepers in the league after half a dozen games ? .

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Three superb moments for me.

(1) Goes towards a ball that might or might not trickle out of play in the first half. Firmino was going after it but took one look at the approaching giant Spaniard and thought "Nah".

(2) A quite immense crossfield pass to somebody (probably Burn), also in the first half, when under pressure. Immediately put us in a good position.

(3) That claiming of the cross at the end. No fanning about, no punching: just came steaming through a crowd of players, plucked it out of the air then stood there going "what were you worried about?". I bet the defenders are totally in love with a keeper who confidently does stuff like that. Me: I leaped off the sofa, punched the air and went "****ing YES, Bobby", causing my snoozing cat to jump off his beanbag in considerable alarm.

I'm intrigued and possibly as pissed as you. Cant think of two better keepers to be honest. Yes there are keepers of merit but one I would swap for young Bobby? Struggling to name one really.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Penny for Maty Ryan’s thoughts, four consecutive PL clean sheets with RS in goal.
