Bigdoggsteel Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) 14 hours ago, old darwen blue said: Why don’t we all just admit the fact that it was a belting free kick. It surely was, but I reckon if Raya was expecting it, he would have saved it. He was expecting a cross and was caught a step or two too far to his left and flat footed. I think in future if there is a free in a similar position, Raya will be further to his right. I don't really blame the wall, Hourihane bent it well around them. As you say though, it was a great free kick. I didn't know Hourihane had such a strike, to be honest I didn't even know he was left footed. Villa fans going crazy that he isn't starting, be hard to leave him out now... Edited September 18, 2018 by Bigdoggsteel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dacks disallowed header in the first half would have been in no doubt had villa had a man on the post. Although I must admit I’m not sure if this was a direct free kick or if the free kick is too wide to shoot. 9/10 free kicks go high and wide, The ball was coming from a slightly different position 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBlue Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Admittedly not a team performance to be proud of - but a strong shout for MOTM for Ryan. Solid as an absolute rock and always a looming threat even if nothing came off his forays. @JAL did you get down to Pride Park mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraserkirky Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Honestly he’s in with a shout for player of the season so far. Hasn’t had a bad game yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacknOry Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yup I had him 'just' as the MOM which would be 2 or 3 times this season for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really blame the wall, Hourihane bent it well around them. There's a still on twitter I saw on Saturday night where you can see the wall is too far to their left. It's from right behind the ball and you can just see the outside of the post which should surely be blocked.. Hourihane hit the free kick so well that had we had an extra man on the end, it would have still gone around the wall and in, but had the wall been different it might have changed his mind or execution on what he was going to do. Whether the wall is Raya's fault, or he was ignored, we will never know. I notice that Mowbray blamed the wall a she well in his post match interviews. Anyway that's off topic. Nyambe was excellent again last night. Edited September 19, 2018 by Hasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Tom Posted November 11, 2018 Backroom Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thought he was going to get his first goal yesterday, he’s always looked like having the attributes but he’s developing a swagger to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Need to get the lad tied down to a better deal (apologies if somehow I’ve missed that we did earlier this summer when it was reported we were looking to).

Bigdoggsteel Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The thing about Nyambe that might make him more of a target for a Premier league club in January than Dack, is the physical attributes. Big strong and athletic full backs are most certainly in demand. He always had that, but now he seems really comfortable on the ball too. I would say he is a better full back than either to the Ollssons when they were here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebruce Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Terrific yesterday. Has he somehow gotten even better whilst out injured? You'd have thought he was our right winger. Changed the complexion of the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Nelsen Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Knew Nyambe was still young, hadn't realised that he was still as young as 21! Easy to forget how well he started the season too. Rovers 25 & under XI looks pretty decent: Raya Nyambe Lenihan Wharton Bell Travis Davenport Armstrong Dack Rothwell Brereton Subs: Fisher, Grayson, Chapman, Nuttall, Buckley, Magloire, Butterworth 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Good news. Looked to me at one point like Mowbray was trying to force him out but he must've seen sense, now please no more Bennett at RB unless necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been told that he would rather leave permanently than leave on loan again. Would be a massive shame, but you can’t blame him. Can’t help but feel like it’ll be a big mistake if he does leave, a la O’Connell. Edited April 23, 2019 by RV Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed reviews on the Bury forum, and hardly got a game at Lincoln... Anyone know what’s going on? Always thought he had potential to be immense.

bluebruce Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Anyone else a bit alarmed by how short this new deal is? 2 years is awfully short for a talented 21 year old who plays frequently in the first team. It's also the exact same length as if we just exercised our one-year extension on the existing deal. I hope at the very least the new deal has an extension too. But I think a 3 or 4 year deal was called for, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I think it'll do him the world of good to be honest just hope he comes back knock free and raring to go next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
