Walsall fans very impressed with Rushworth despite losing to Doncaster on penalties today
Rushworth is some player. He’s going to be way above our level.
Interesting tonight to see Rushworth given another start when quite often in these cups they rotate the keepers. He does look like a fantastic prospect
Rushworth, I’m genuinely concerned they’ll recall him before the window :joy: he looked superb tonight. A few good saves and a few pen saves.
Very very impressed with him. I felt Rose had earned a shot but you can’t argue with this lad at all
Keeper & defenders look good
Rushworth is very impressive. Not just with his saves, but the way he commands the area and those around him. Really vocal for a keeper of his age around far more senior pro’s
Rushworth made an absolute worldly to keep us in the game
Rushworth a massive upgrade on Roberts tbf. Not just the saves but you can just tell defence has way more confidence in him dealing with crosses than last season
Not seen saves like Rushworth pulled off tonight since Jimmy Walker.
Outrageous mate , I’m genuinely amazed we’ve got him at the club.
Doncaster fans were raving about him outside the ground
Carl Rushworth will be in the England team in a few years.
Thought Rushworth very good tonight
Maybe we should try Rushworth as an attacking midfielder or striker. I bet he’d be more effective than Osadebe on set pieces too
The way he pings the ball across the pitch, it wouldn’t be a bad idea
a couple of outstanding saves from Rushworth.
Rushworth could well play for England. I heard a guy at Tranmere Saturday, spoke to Leigh after q and a, saying he’s probably our biggest coup of the season.
Like others I was impressed with Rushworth and I love his confidence.
Defensively we look sound and Rushworth will be the signing of the season in this division, by a country mile.
Can we mention needing a striker?
When can we be concerned!
All the chances and no one taking them yet again.
So many positives being set back by the key position we have needed filling since last January yet we still haven’t filled. Barmy imo
They do seem quite taken with the lad.
Quite the save, at 1:15 in these highlights...
Although, I think this post was accidentally made on their site by an Albion fan...
Don't know if it was a strong Doncaster team, but it's worth remembering that he was playing L1 opponents too.
Edit: The replies to this are certainly interesting too - https://twitter.com/VitalWalsall/status/1425204553553780737?s=20
Covid apparantly (see earlier post on this thread).Any news on Longman at Hull, doesn't even seem to be in the squad, has he picked up an injury?
Cheers Gabbiano.Weekend update:
Matt Clarke played 84 mins as WBA beat Luton 3-2
Alex Cochrane played 75 mins as Hearts were knocked out of the Scottish League Cup by Celtic 3-2 (Edouard one of the scorers for Celtic).
Teddy Jenks played 70 mins as Aberdeen crashed out of the same cup 2-1 to Raith Rovers. Jenks getting panned on the Aberdeen forums again, hopefully he can turn it around as there's definitely a player in there somewhere. https://www.afc-chat.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/45832-raith-rovers-2-1-aberdeen/page/14/#comments
Ryan Longman started for Hull in their 3-0 loss to QPR, but played only 35 mins, coming off with a groin injury. Hull fans seemed impressed up to that point - https://www.not606.com/threads/hull-city-v-qpr.394817/page-6
Leo Østigård had a clean sheet playing the whole match for Stoke City in a 0-0 against Birmingham. 7s and 8s out of 10 in their match ratings - https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/300990/player-ratings
Carl Rushworth was in goal as Walsall lost 3-1 to Forest Green, and according to the BBC made a "superb save" to stop a fourth goal going in.
Jensen Weir played 61 minutes for Cambridge as they lose 2-1 to Accrington.
Clarke is playing CM!?
Weir only got a couple of minutes as sub for Cambridge last night.
- generally endorsed by others. Quite an interesting deeper level view here (the Hearts posters are quite a literate bunch! -"Cochrane 7 - Unspectacular player but a very solid match. Defended very well and passed out from the back well."
"Not sure if it was lack of confidence, instruction or just a defenders instinct, but I was disappointed with Cochrane’s lack of forward thinking today. Harsh to say that about the lad as he defended well and made no real defensive mistakes but he could have been more positive in moving the ball forward. On many occasions he had plenty time to look up and push forward and make a pass but took the easy option to pass back. He’s young, fit and athletic so I would like to see him ‘show off’ a bit more than be Mr dependable. The odd mistake would be easily forgiven. Finger’s crossed he does as it would make a big difference to his game and the team."
- yes, I know, still a bit colourful - but mild in it's context. Put your waders on if you want to visit the rest of https://www.afc-chat.co.uk/forums/index.php?/forum/1-afc-chat-football-forums/ !"After a poor first half i thought Jenks and Brown started to run the midfield and that's when the game changed. Sayin that, JET coming on and linking the play helped alot, Plus he started ragdolling that little cvnt Halliday and the Hearts players didn't know what to do with him."
I'm going to Cambridge Utd vs Burton Albion on Saturday so will keep tabs on Weir and post up here how he does, assuming he plays.
No joy for Teddy Jenks at Aberdeen tonight - and no joy for Aberdeen leaving him on the bench either. Lost 1-0 to some team I've never heard of (FK Qarabag, apparantly!)
