[Albion] Veltman?

[albionfan37]

Can’t believe he would’ve gone off if he didn’t take a knock (or worse) anyone have any news on how long or if he’ll be missing games? I’ll be gutted if he’s out for a while

 

[B-right-on]

Will be a big miss if injured with the pocket rocket out too.

Some of his play tonight I thought was excellent. Running down the line, link up with Gross, Tross, Mac Argie etc... Top drawer. He's turned out to be another bargain and stepped up well and very quickly imo.

One of our better forays into the Dutch league for sure.

 

[TheBigUnit]

What a buy he’s been!

 

[Sheebo]

Strange he didn’t bring Alzate on at RWB. With Burn coming on I did think ‘ffs Potter you’re really making a rod for your own back if we don’t win this now’.

Think Burns done really well for us considering his past standard etc but he’s just not quite good enough to be a regular and seems one people single out as ‘shot’ (happened to read the tweet comments when our line up was announced - silly little kids - hope Burn doesn’t see it!)

Looked tactical to me.

 

[Swansman]

He wasnt limping or anything but he looked really tired.

Could see him resting vs Liverpool.

Agreed. Potter knew Mourinho was going start lumping it into the box so put Burn in for extra cover.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

He's no wing back, but has adapted well.

This and then the matter of Burnley next weekend ....

He needs to stop trying to cross. I don't think any of his crosses beat the first man or indeed go to any man. Other than that very good.

Thought Burn did ok last night when he replaced Veltman. Good couple of clearing headers, and a couple of hoofs upfield to break up Spurs’ pressing at the end.

 

[Marshy]

As far as I'm concerned Burn has only had 1 shocker for us against Wolves, and the winger that on his day does that to any full back he likes.

Burn is more than good enough in my opinion.

Veltman back on topic has been excellent of late.

 

[Clive Walker]

yeah, sensible substitution given our star right back is injured and we need veltman available as much as possible.

 

[The Wizard]

He’s a better outright defender than Lamptey

 

[kjgood]

But despite being 10 foot six he cant jump?

This. Traore ripped him apart, but he's done that to better players than Burn. He rarely lets us down. Starting XI? Probably not, but good back up and his height is an option

This.

As much as Lamptey is an absolute terror going forward he can leave big holes at the back when he pushes on and isn't as tactically clued in as Veltman. JV has, along with Sanchez, been a large contributor to the clean sheets.

And against Leicester, when James Justin had him on toast.

Would Tariq get his place back if he was fit for Wednesday...tricky

Yes.

Veltman is a 7 out of 10 player.

Lamptey is a match winner.
