Orlandi appreciation thread

[L2MidgetGem B.H.A Seagull]

Seriously while everyone gloats about Viva La Vicente. I just want to put my hands together for Orlandi. Honestly can't see the squad without him now. Gets better every game and has fit like a glove (Best buy from Swansea. No pun ). Class act and Spanish Dave is too. That I'll keep for another thread though lol

Agree?

Very very good player

 

[Iamapen15]

Lacked composure in front of goal again yesterday, otherwise excellent!

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Love him,if stays fit,proof that "pace" out wide is not everything,just wish he could put away sitters more,other than that,class.

 

[Muzzy]

Picked him out as our main man a while ago on another thread.

He will be key to us over the next few seasons. We have to keep hold of him if possible. He could become a legend in the stripes IMO!

 

[red star portslade]

He's rapidly becoming the main man in the team for me. He's class.

Was he the one who dived into their penalty area looking for a penalty?

Shocking.

Was he the one who dived into their penalty area looking for a penalty?

Shocking.

I gave him 9.8 for the dive. Referee should have booked him. Class act in a progressively classy team.

How far we have come.

As stated before, sexiest player ever to don the stripes, almost a perfect 10, and that's up against some stiff competition in Gary Stevens, Michael Robinson, Gary Chivers, Robert Codner and Vicente, to name but five Albion 'lookers'

Was not initially impressed with his work rate but I thought he fought hard and looked for the through ball well yesterday, yes he is improving, but needs to work on his shooting from inside the area, yesterdays miss was dreadful. As for Spanish Dave, the best buy we have made. When he and Vicente stood behind that ball at the point of the scoring goal, I thought how many options do we have here. Viva Orlandi and Lopez!!

Big appreciation for putting his body into the collision near the end. Floored the other guy and stayed standing for a bit. He is not quite as good as Vicente but much more consistent and less injury prone. We are getting great value from him.

Brilliant last night! Yes he missed his chance but his goal scoring record of late and the fact he was in the position is promising.

One of the first names on the team sheet if you ask me

 

[Ulloa]

I loved the clip they showed of the Spanish players eating out in the laines minus Vicente and Orlandi came across such a great bloke. Ulloa seemed at home and settled well with his counterparts.

Been trying to find the clip online but no such luck.

True. He's missed a few and yet his goalscoring ratio for a midfielder is excellent already. I think we should let him off the occasional howler…

 

[marshy68]

terrible dive and one of the worst misses i have seen at the amex - generally good player but thought he had one of his worst games yesterday so strange to see the appreciation thread.....

 

[Ninja Elephant]

He is absolutey top dollar. Very unlucky to have been unused by Swansea. Brilliant bit of business to flog Noone for £1million and sign him instead.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Really should have hit the target at least, but he does work pretty hard. A dive Tom Daley would have been proud of, I don't like to see that.

I think he pretty much picks himself. Should have been invovled against Arsenal imho!

Was a pretty bad miss. But his scoring record for us is far superior than it was for Swansea
Scored 4 in 21 for us, and for Swansea was 3 in 87

Reinforced by the fact that Noone has dropped out of the Cardiff first team and hasn't even got off the bench in their last couple of games. Maybe Gus does know what he's doing after all.
