Rev Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I know they were all bad but Albentosa hasn't shown any glimpses of quality the others have.On the contrary, he made a least 3 very decent passes short into midfield, just the long balls he struggled with, unless long balling is what we're looking for going forward, I'd say there's enough there to start working with.

Mostyn6 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 He also made a 60 yard pass to Gladys Hickinbottom in Row Qhe was aiming for her husband. Shocking pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highgate Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Eibar were a very well organized and tightly packed defence at the start of this season, and he seemed to do very well with them. Must have been a serious change to go from a situation where everyone knew their defensive jobs so well, to the chaotic acts of collective panic that characterized our defending for the latter half of this season. Having said that...his lack of pace is a worry, and seems to get turned quite easily. Hopefully he will improve though, he deserves more time before we judge him.

Duracell Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Can I just say the fact that his wife is allegedly pregnant has been taken as a sign that things aren't going to work out for him here might be one of the best things I've read on this forum.

CBE Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Whitbread came into a flailing side a few weeks ago and looked assured, positionally sound, good in the air, comfortable on the ball, fitted into our system with ease. It's sad but Raul Alb..... has not shown a glimpse of talent, it's a shame but FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Definitely deserves more time before being judged. I seem to have an unpopular view on Albentosa. I don't think hes looked that bad and when he adapts to the championship... *puts bullet proof vest on* i think POTENTIALLY he could be one of the best centre backs in the division.

SIWY Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'll give him a good Pre-Season under his belt before I judge him. Martin didn't look anything special when he was first here on loan for about 10 games either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'll give him a good Pre-Season under his belt before I judge him. Martin didn't look anything special when he was first here on loan for about 10 games either...The difference with Martin was although the physical side of his game was poor during that initial loan spell you could see that his first touch was awesome and his passing/football brain was there. Martin just needed to improve his fitness.Honestly it is harsh but from what I have seen I just don't think Albentosa will be good enough even with a pre season and speaking the language. I really don't like writing players off though and I agree with you I will hold back judgement fully until he has had a pre season. We saw with Bucko that a player can go from not looking like he can pass a ball to the best ball playing defender at the club. I am just sceptical that is all.

SIWY Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 He has had some good games, but equally some poor games. Like I have said, I will give him a Pre-Season under his belt before I judge him properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsall_Ram Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Someone was talking of Flint (Bristol City) yesterday as a target we should look for.. Though he plays in a 5 back at City I think that he looks very much like a settled (English) Raul.I know most hate the idea of changing formation but imagine Raul with a "Andre Wisdom" and a "Tommy Smith" (Ipswich) in a 3/5 back.Solid.
