Looked very tidy give him a chance! 8 minutes ago, dihajh said: I thought Walsh played well today, and was unlucky to get subbed off. Thought Kent didn’t quite have the clock with the rest of the team yet, I also thought Walsh fitted into the team and was almost as if he’s been here for months not days. Looks a tidy player but never a No 10 thought his inclusion and a five man flattish midfield was baffling tbh and confused us Could have understood if he’d rested Korey or Pack and played him but all three together seemed to stifle us Korey was the only one who made a run beyond the ball which is normally one of our big plusses Bobby was isolated against 3 centre halves yet we didn’t create from overloading the middle of the pitch I would have got Flint forward as soon as we conceded All in all -a Strange one And very frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With five across the back you could argue it made more sense to have Pato, the better player in possession, in a more wide position stretching things. I think Liam did well. Some very skilful touches. Yes some of his tricks went wrong, one almost cost us, and yes at times his eagerness meant positionally he wasn't always in the best place and crowded things. Yes he was outmuscled a few times. But he fitted right into our game style and ethos - always made himself an option - was all over the pitch - huge effort and got stuck in in the challenge. I don't think LW was the problem today. A general lack of final third quality and physical presence up top cost us. Plus a sucker punch of a goal that looked like a defensive mess, like a player the marker only arrived yesterday and wasn't up to speed on how the team defend. Oh wait, he did arrive yesterday. Bonkers. Kent should have started left. Walsh I thought he was bang average on Tuesday. Don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Walsh looked a good midfield option and given Pack, Korey & Brownhill all looked a little off the pace maybe he should have played instead of one of them, BUT playing him in Pato's normal no.10 role did not work for the team at all. When Pato plays that role he breaks forward and offers support and link up play with Reid, Walsh did not do that. Pato was ineffective on LHS of m/f and Reid left too isolated. I'm not knocking Walsh, think he will make good addition as a midfield player, just should not have been played in the no.10 role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it worked and I can see where others are coming from r.e Walsh in the hole. But I disagree with you that he was bang average - and I hate it, personally, when we see these threads writing players off before they've had a chance, or whenever they hit a bit of bad form. Over recent seasons it has happened with Bobby Reid, Bryan, Flint, Brownhill, Paterson, Famara, Pack the list goes on. Look - all this "we need to make the most of this opportunity" stuff, I get it, but we didn't wake up overnight in this position. A plan got us here. Stability got us here. There is a management team and group of players that got us here. We have to trust in what and who got us here. People are talking like all we have to do is go out and splash the cash and we will be promoted. Well it's never as simple as that. Look at Villa. Look at Wednesday. Look at Boro. Keep the faith and up and at Derby next time. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxo Jr. Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 You're like a broken record. Such a lazy comment too - we've brought in proven Championship experience in Kent, and he was arguably much worse in his cameo than Walsh today. What we need is our strikers back. We have an extremely long list of Championship players who came to City the last time we were in the Championship and turned the club turgid. Walsh is not why we lost.

We played some lovely stuff at times but with famara and djuric out we are missing that physicality up front. Nothing to worry about , plenty of games left.
