We got a glimpse of what he can do at Man City away when playing in a midfield of 3 CM's, with Pack as well there's less defensive pressure on him so he can get forward more without worrying about being hit on the counter.

nick jones of hereford Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I thought that he showed some good touches and if one had to point to (comparative) positives from the match, he showed real potential. Yes, he’s not got the experience or nouse of Pack/Smith but I do see him as having a decent career in the Championship. It’s appreciated that the team as a whole played poorly and the midfield was outclassed by the opposition. I thought that the problem was that most 50:50 challenges were won by Brentford. Would I start him against Millwall? No. But he’s got a decent future- hopefully here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Too many touches at times & plays with his head down far to often. Did put his foot in when given the chance. But massive improvement needed. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradleyStokeRed Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Joe Morrell is a better player than Walsh, shame we spent over £1 million on someone is much worse than what we've already got. Terrible business imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 He wasn't terrible in the Kent way. In fact I'd keep him in the squad. He just looked a bit inexperienced, which he is. Nice touches and passes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I thought he was no worse than the average City player, put in a few decent tackles , in the second half and retained the ball more than average for our players yesterday. Not that that's saying much. But the problem is having a tiny, not particularly defensive central MF doesn't suit our style of play. He wasn't what we want. He is a square peg trying to fit the proverbial round hole. You might remember another such tiny, not very physical MF not really fitting in with the team's attacking intent at the club before. Now what was that player's name? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 He tried but the fact of the matter is, he shouldn’t have started alongside Smith. Could potentially understand Pack alongside him but that was an awful decision by LJ that midfield was bound to get overrun. With potentially a couple of new midfielders coming in next season a L1 loan would do him the world of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After lengthy debate in a bar we concluded it had to be Bobby's misplaced cross to Fam from the goal line left of the Atyeo end goal. That seemed the nearest thing to a second shot...... Back to topic, for what it's worth, I think in two or three years time we might think more kindly of Liam Walsh. Like everyone says, he needs time and opportunities - but maybe chosen more carefully from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do it at all based on potential it shoud be done in the beginning of the close season when the youngster can have a couple of months getting used to the club before going out on loan for experience.

It`s all about buying `experience` you see. You can`t possibly be successful unless you`re `experienced`. If you need proof of this just look at the way Cameron Jerome is tearing it up at Derby. FWIW I thought Liam wasn`t too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
