Title: Andrew
Post by: ravenrover on May 18, 2019, 12:52:42 pm
Noticed that Peterboro owner has denied that Andrew is signing for them.
For me Andrew is great at going forward but defensively gets beat too easily and too many times for me. Thinking about it how many of the Charlton goals home and away came from our left at least 2 and that's not counting their 1st on Sunday. Think we need to be looking for both full back positions fo next sason

I think he’s been average at best for large parts of the season. Wouldn’t be too bothered if he left and we brought in a replacement

He only gets caught out because he is told to push forward 🙄

His delivery in crosses and set pieces aren't great either.

Andrews has been immense the last few weeks, would love to see him stay, he does get caught out, but that's because he is pushing forward which our style of play demands

He’s a rubbish defender but he’s got a lovely left foot which makes him look better than he is.

How high do we rate young Amos ?. Not seen him play.

I agree, He"s improved the last few weeks where as before that he was below average and very weak defending. I'll be happy to keep the player we've seen recently, although his passing/crossing last night could have been better.

If you want to go, go. If you want to stay, sign up, but make a decision quickly!

I’d sign Danny again he’s turned his form around in 2019 & has a good left foot - I think he’s stated every league match this season not bad for an injury prone player

It’s interesting how we see players differently. I personally rate Andrew. Some great free kicks and defending imo. 👀⚽️

He’s not ready for a side wanting to be in the top 3 next season infact non of U23 side are ready to be in the 18 man squad. All of them need another year before they may be ready.

Very very good player imo.

He has improved as the season went on.
We should keep him.

We would be crazy to let him leave, he is a very good player. He has his faults and he’s not perfect but that’s why he’s playing in league one.

When we first got him he looked unbelievable and I was gutted when he got injured, he came back and understandably took a few months to get going properly,but since Christmas he’s been fantastic for most parts.. plus it’s always nice to have somebody who’s dangerous from a free kick too. We haven’t had many great free kick takers over the years.

Keep for me without a doubt and he would be in my starting 11 next season too.

Best free kick expert for the Rovers was Glyn Snodin, wonderful accuracy from his left foot.

Cotterill was a brilliant set piece taker.

Me neither, but he seems quite highly thought of, so I'd like to think he could be involved more next season .

I would try and keep him but wouldn’t be upset if we lost him. Least competition for place in the whole squad so in my opinion gets away with more. Would be interested in the completed pass stats for this season just gone, because he must be very low if not bottom, he’s started chipping in with a few free kicks but for me defenders (even wing backs) need to defend first.

Agree with Mustapha. Big bucket of "meh" for me. If he was right footed he'd be below Ryan Kirby and "Nacho" Ybarres in the shallow pantheon of Rovers full backs since 1989. Maybe JoC and Gareth Roberts spoiled us but he's not at that level (admitedly still young). That said, hopefully his recent improvement is permanent and I can eat my words in 12 months time.
