This thread is a little bit bizarre - it's the classic example of a non-playing footballer going up in the estimation of fans when they miss out on a bad result or performance by the team.
You have highlighted the fact that Albion have now drawn two games this season, having led 2-0 late in the match - well, guess what, Veltman was on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes in that Wolves game.
Our issues today weren't at right-back, and we almost certainly wouldn't have scored our first goal with Veltman on the pitch (instead of Lamptey).
Can't throw up any specific stats to support, but my own perception watching most games home and away for several years now is that we are poorer defensively without him.
Immediately feel nervous about any game when he's not playing and even more so if not at least on the bench.
