The other thing about Sanchez, is that he's got the range and accuracy on his kicking to get us in behind. I bet Connolly would do well getting in behind some of his long goal kicks

[Albion] Time for Sanchez

Only on this board.
That goalkeeping spot is still very much up for grabs
I wouldn't like to place any money on whether the keeper who finishes the season with us will be Sanchez, Walton, Ryan or AN other. I'll predict not Steele though!

Probably get crucified for saying this.
Couple of those saves felt like his height helped. I'd have to watch them back.
The first one he tipped over the bar with his fingertips, and later the one with his feet his whole body was outstretched horizontally to cover as much space as possible.

He appears very competent and I think the team are more comfortable and confident with Bobby Sanchez in our goal.
You were right. He was exemplary.
For once I totally agree with you, vagabond.

strong and stable with me, or...
It’s like a golf 3/4 swing, if he went full beans he’d just kick straight to the other keeper.

I thought the same thing.

Yeh, the tip over the bar for me showed why he should be playing.
The other thing about size is that is somehow creates doubt in a strikers mind. I used to play up front and always felt I had to shoot closer to the post against a big keeper and missed more often

Is it just me that think's it's odd that Ryan isn't on the bench?

Walton was certainly unlucky to pick up that injury against Chelsea, but TBH I think Sanchez had been edging ahead of him anyway.

Yes,there will always be more one on ones with the keeper when we play a back three.it defenetley makes it harder for the striker if it's a big keeper in those situations.

Oh yeah. I didn't check - just assumed. It's not just you. That does seem a tad odd.

I'm a bit tipsy but I think Sanchez made the difference in that game. He kept us in it when we were vulnerable.
That's the difference a keeper can make.
(obviously it's too early to tell if he's the real deal but it's making me smile)
Not so sure Ryan would have save the one he finger-tipped over the bar, or the outstretched leg.
Sanchez made sure we kept a clean sheet against a side that has been on the up in recent weeks (a draw with Liverpool and win against Leicester). There really are "no easy games".
They had clear cut shots on goal and he stopped them all. Can't ask for much more.
Anyway, cheers! (it's snowing here in NYC - must be a foot or two so far...)
