Taking it back on topic, how did Rollin play on Saturday?

Meanwhile in Pyongyang…

Looked pretty good to me - like most of our defenders did individually. Obviously as a unit they need a bit more time together and a few competetive games under their belt to find the optimum CH and full back pairings, but they were only breached once by a forward line 3 divisions above us so they’ve already made a good start.

Just going by Saturday, I wouldn’t be unhappy to see Rollin as a starting CH but I also have confidence that we have depth in quality as well as quantity so could be directly replaced by any of several other choices without the “without him we’re buggered” sinking feeling we’ve sometimes had previously when we’ve had to switch from our first choice players.

When I worked in Cradley Heath I’m sure they spoke a version of old English.

We had a fitter back in the day who lived Dudley way, always moaning, but didn’t swear but every thing was god. This god job, these god bolts, etc etc

Didn’t matter until one day that he was told we had a job for him in Godmanchester ( cambridgeshire) and to be on site at 08;00 the next day

You can guess where he went

Used very much in Gornal and Brierley Hill, along with “gain”, meaning handy or useful.

He did Ok in my view. Certainly he will be in contention for a regular place in the team if he can carry that form into future matches.

I was very worried about his passing too be honest. Hope its just a bedding in thing but need to maybe see a replay of the game somewhere to see if it was just me because it certainly felt like it. Big standouts was the new keeper and the young Maher. Not sure if he was here last season but he was worthy of pitch time in front of bloody Yaw and others.

I wasn’t too worried about his passing to be honest.Certainly there were some misplaced ones but his overall play was ok. Agree about the goalie and Maher but I thought Ash Taylor did well both as captain and CH.

What number was Maher

Maher is the Jack Grealish wannabe with the Alice band @clawtheolder.

I’m just jealous though because the days of my long hair are long gone now (turned into my dad!) :joy:

Maher is another Irishman by the way. Good job we have green on our shirts.

Maher looked good, very technical. Reminded me a little of when I first saw Jamie Paterson play. Anyone know how old he is or his background?

He’s 16

Agree, Mayer had a great cameo, I was really impressed, I was scrambling to find out who he was. He looked young and I’m sure will bulk up.

Understand he came through the youth set up at WBA but has been at Walsall since u14 level. Also played for the Independent Schools team.

Looks like the lad has invested his life into being a professional footballer. Fair play to him.

I know people often joke about how young some of our players look but this takes the biscuit! :wink:

Alan Buckley is looking at that photo and thinking “bit too big for a midfielder, that lad”.
