[Albion] Romaric Yapi

[CheeseRolls]

I would love to see him make his debut today. In the continued absence of Tariq Lamptey, we need to play someone on the right hand side, who can provide some balance and some attacking threat. Team selection has been all over the place of late and this one simple change would give Potter the opportunity to play everyone in their best positions.

He is 20 and was given a new contract back in August has been playing at wing back or further forward for the U23s and whilst he is no Lamptey, he does have a good engine and can get forward. It would allow us to get back to attacking down both flanks.

The current situation we are in I’d be all for this.

Veltman and White aren’t options there ... so for me it’s Yapi or Alzate.

Would love Alzate but he's evidently out again with illness today

Yeah just saw that ..... if he doesn’t want to play Yapi and Alzate and Lamptey are out GP should just opt for a back 4 otherwise we just don’t look comfortable.

Played plenty of games for the 23s now. Couple of months older than Lamptey. What do the 23s watchers think?

I’d like to see him on the bench. I wouldn’t drop him straight into the team right now, this is quite a tough period. But why not sub him on if conditions are right.

He could be a good backup for Lamptey. Great shout.

He's a poorly boy isn't he?
Long covid?

 

[Swansman]

Veltman and White both did well playing there, prefer to stick with those as long as Lamptey is out.

 

[El Turi]

Good idea as Veltman is painfully slow and offers nothing going forward.

What like post viral fatigue

It's what you do it with it that counts.

 

[Hamilton]

In the current climate of ‘try anything’ why not? We do miss Lampty’s threat.

That said, I’d rather have a bit of experience against Wolves so I’d err towards Veltman.

I'm a big fan of Yapi, I think he is the nearest we have to Lampty just not as good. I definitely wouldn't be against it.

If you're Yapi and you know it.............

 

[Don Tmatter]

Potter can’t rate him yet as he would have had a chance by now.

And there clearly no LWB close either (with the exception of on-loan Karbo).

This. Let’s see what happens vs Newport

Aren't the U23s in a different Covid bubble to the first team squad?

Yapi is very, very quick too
