Quote a few underrating Westbrooke again. Been our best player the last month or so.
7s and and 8s I can see. What do you think he deserved?
Agreed thought he was one of our better playersShouldn't be lower than an 8 today.
Don’t forget Huckerby vs Man UI agree with you SSB. It's just that I can't recall a City player picking up the ball on half way and running past 6 players before burying it in the corner - as someone said earlier that was similar to the Maradona 86 goal. Also had elements of Owen, France 98 and even Ricky Villa, FA Cup. It was a sensational goal to win the match and for that alone I give Walsh a 10.
Got his pants pulled down for the goal and nearly gifted them another. 5 fully warranted
He did ok. 7 or 8 means you did really well to me. Dabo or Westerbrooke could be in those kind of ratings. I like how you say he was in the right position albeit in the wrong part of the pitch. Absolute belter that one.Honestly how many of these posters ACTUALLY went to the match?
Drysdale played really well on his debut.
In the first half he cleared two threats because OF his positional awareness! He covered for the ineptitude of Hyam.
You can’t see properly from TV highlights what actually occurred for their goal.
Drysdale was in the correct position (albeit a little too high up the pitch) Hyam went too close to their attacker and wandered too far to the right, who then cleverly flicked it on. It was their right back who went through and Mason should have tracked back with him. When the cross is sent through their are two Rochdale players with only Rose to help and Dabo-who again didn’t follow his man-left trailing miles behind.
Most of that is not Drysdales fault. Hyam should have passed the player on (and in fact he was marked by Drysdale for the majority of the match) Mason and Dabo should have tracked back.
Drysdale surely is allowed one mistake (the pass back) Hyam and Rose made plenty but you don’t see them on the highlights.
Robins praised Drysdale debut post match and I can definitely see why. Composed, passed well, positional sense good and for a debut we have another brilliant young centre back that will make us money in the future.
7 or 8 for me

It was nothing like Maradona in 86, he took it round the keeper too.
It was a lovely goal though
Maradonna was against established international players at the top of their game. Walsh was against 3rd division players-no comparison.Bursting forward at pace from the half way line and beating 5-6 men was certainly reminiscent of the Maradona classic. The finish was even more spectacular.
Drysdale was in the correct position (albeit a little too high up the pitch)
The pitch was in the wrong position. Like Baka's miss, it's not that it was a shit effort, it's just the goals were in the wrong place.So, he wasn’t in the correct position then.....
