Lew-T Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well... first start back for us. What did everybody think of his performance today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexhill reds Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Busy, looked to create when he had the ball, perhaps slightly better in a more forward position, great at cynical tackling. I've rated him for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Great at picking little 5-10 metre passes to break lines, really hope he re-signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Thought he looked good. An improvement on Lansbury, moved the ball quickly, worked well with HNM and COD, even put a foot in on a few occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 3 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Very impressed. Wasn't like him or Massengo could be blamed for that result. Bad individual error for first goal. But for them they protected defence pretty well, battled hard against big Rotherham players. Moved the ball nicely into good positions. I thought Walsh showed some real quality. Doesn't get many passes wrong off either foot and sees them. Of course the more ambitious pass like when he tried to play Wells in will go wrong. But he sees those opportunities. Looked very strong early in the game in one challenge. Agree. I liked how quickly he moved the ball too. Also showed glimpses of his defensive side, little interceptions with nicking the ball in tight areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Lots to like. A footballers footballer. Clever, intelligent, fluid, knits it together. Will be massive if managed correctly and with a good side around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 If he is played between now and the end of the season, and proves his fitness, it's then just a case of Pearson saying he wants him to stay and the contract offer will be made. Obviously we don't know if he has his sights on somewhere else, or even if he wants to stay, but if someone like Pearson likes and rates you, then unless you have a bloody good offer somewhere else, I would be inclined to stay put....

Taylor10 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Thought he was the only positive from today. Moved it quickly and purposefully. Well worth keeping on that evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLRed Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Fantastic display only let down by others in the team and their lack of movement and quality in forward areas. First touch by some of our players today was terrible. role on the summer when we no longer have to talk about the inability of fam and hunt among others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Red Cyril Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Yeah good show for first full 90 minutes in first eleven. He will get better with more games. Looking forward to seeing him in full flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hxj Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 A pretty ropey performance in reality, appreciate that he is not match fit, but certainly no where near the hype. 4 years older that HNM and two older than Bakinson, will need to pull his finger out pdq.

tin Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 His radar was a little off, which is to be expected after so long out, but I think his potential is clear to see and a new deal for him should be a priority. He’s a talent who should only improve, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLRed Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Can imagine with Williams being the anchor behind him that Walsh could be a very influential midfield player next season should he stay With his range of passing and ability to read the game etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 If we persist with fielding 2 genuine/natural CMs I still don't think it'll be enough. However Walsh should definitely be part of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Easily our best cm. can pass. Looks forward to pass. But can commit the synical tackles like his booking that we dont seem to have a single player capable of doing. Im looking forward to Nige clearing out the likes of Hunt etc and replacing with hungry, physical and synical players. We are too small. Too nice. Too sloppy and hes got the luxury of ridding most of the deadwood in just a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsh can find a sweet pass like Nagy and Palmer at their best, but unlike either he's a little terrier and he breaks up play coming through the middle.

David Brent Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Possibly too deep at times. Probably needed one of him or Massengo to be further forward when in possession. Palmer wouldn’t need to have been so deep then. But I thought he did rather well on his first start for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Thought he looked busy and positive but no movement ahead of him again. Why are our forwards so static all the time. Midfielders have no options ahead of them. Keep him next year but ditch Fam and maybe Wells too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdivision Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: I think we have many good options in midfield now. Just need to sort out other areas. Totally agree. We need two athletic full-backs, two strong central defenders, and 1/2 strikers. Minimum requirement. I’m basing that on all the out-of-contract/loan players leaving apart from Liam Walsh. We might need two right-backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLRed Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Midfield wise, I would actually be happy going into next season with Walsh, Williams, Nagy, Palmer and massengo sharing the midfield roles. we seriously need to improve at full back (more so on the right) where we need far greater athleticism, pace and overall quality. Happy with JD on the left if he can get over the injury but we do need a back up. also need to seriously invest in the striker department. Don’t care what others say, I can’t wait to see fam gone and replaced with a quality striker brought in by Pearson. I think wells can come good but he needs to be played centrally all the time. also need to seriously invest in the centre back roles and find a top quality partner for kalas with vyner as back up utility. Think Pearson May keep mariappa on one more season at least too. Did Pearson bring benkovic to Leicester? Could we see him return as a dominating left sided ball playing cb? Baker will be gone imo, Moore moved on And towler loaned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 First game in a very long time at Championship level so could be excused some rustiness but was one of our better performers today. It is a feature of this season that nobody has stayed fit & made a midfield place their own, so here’s hoping he can put a run of games together now. I thought Massengo did ok too, but we do have a lot of very average players in midfield, presumably if Williams gets properly fit he will be seen as the first choice there but we really do need to sort out what looks like a hell of a lot of 6/10 players.

Encouraging in that he wanted the ball, was able to keep the ball, passed the ball in all directions, moved for the ball, knew what he wanted to do with the ball, was confident and composed when on the ball. He wasn’t perfect by any stretch, but it was encouraging that he clearly carries the ability to be able to change our style of play from a team who treat the ball like a hot potato into a team which treat the ball like a beautiful woman. Something we’ve not seen from any of our other midfielders this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I thought he played well. Decent range of passing, got involved and I quite enjoyed the crunching tackle when he got the yellow card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
