Galbraith

[Filo]

What a player he is, and now we’ve found a stand in rightback, I know he’s on a seasons loan, but as I understand it it will be reviewed in January, I would be worried that Man Utd see him as far to good for L1, recall him and send him to the Championship

[foxbat]

that's  a worry , let's hope he stays for the full season.

[since-1969]

Best player on the pitch by a mile !!

[Spud]

Agree, too good for this league, fingers crossed.

[glosterred]

Got to be up there with the best loanees we have had in recent seasons

[jamesrover17]

He’ll be in the united team at some point I am pretty confident of that

[roversdude]

MOM by a country mile

[keith79]

Rubbish. (Wow he going to be some player)

[Goole Rover]

Hope you’ve seen this lads attitude and application Mr Bogle.

[Chris the Rover]

He was outstanding from start to finish. Full of energy, never stopped running. He is going to be some player.

[mpc123]

How did he not get MOM

[Filo]

That pirouette and run from a defensive position ending in a shot was magical, if Messi had done that folk would be creaming over it

[jmt23]

The other lad Owulu is just as good, and I struggled to pick between the two for MOM.

We are mugs if we do not try and sign him for longer, quality on the ball(like really good) and very athletic.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

No question Galbraith sets a standard all players should aspire to.

Also impressed with Owulu although perhaps got exposed a couple of times towards the end but did so many good basic things throughout the game and his pace could be a real weapon for us.

Our MOM selection process is an ongoing joke and has been for some years now but it's wearing a bit thin now. I think someone needs to have a word.

[DonnyOsmond]

Olowu*

[mpc123]

He does look  ery composed too as you would expect an ex arsenal player.

Owulu is anywhere near as good as Galbraith. That was a brilliant performance by him today. Owulu looked poor on the ball and they kept setting in behind him in the second half. There’s a million miles between the two in ability, albeit they are very different players.

[jmt23]

I suppose its a game of opinions Gaz, but poor on the ball?  he is the best footballing defender I have seen for a long time at DRFC. Certainly streets ahead of anyone else we have at the moment. His first full game for DRFC too I think.

Is he as good as Galbraith - no, and never will be, but not what I meant. Performance wise today I feel he did as much.

My main point would be, he is a really good find, and he is ours (albeit for a short time) sign him for longer, he has a load of (saleable) potential

Galbraith will never be ours.

Loads of attacks/ball progressions broke down, and were slowed down when we went down the left hand side. Owolu is far from natural on the ball.

[DonnyOsmond]

It's Olowu...

[roversdude]

Olowu looked class and is looking worth a contract extension

[sedwardsdrfc]

Our recruitment gets a lot of stick and imo rightly so. But credit where it's due Olowu is a good find and should be kept at the club longer. Personally when everyone is fit i'd prefer him to Williams at centre half.

[dickos1]

I thought olowu was very good today, and looked good on the ball.
Not many centre halves can skip past players as he did in the first half today

[POD]

Galbraith was excellent today, but a right back / defender he is not.  At times he was way out of position when he went on his many mazy runs and whilst others covered for him, I feel that he was wasted in that position and needs to be in the midfield or front three where his abilities are better suited.  It was probably a one off today at Right Back and we’ll no doubt see him further advanced in future games. 

[dickos1]

I think that’s more the fluency of the system we played, when we had the ball he moved into midfield and we went to a back 3 but without the ball he dropped back in

[sedwardsdrfc]

Sounded like Wellens wanted him to leave right back a bit and get more involved in midfield so that was potentially planned. I can see some logic in it Galbraith is our best player on the ball so playing in that position gives him the most space/time to use his ability rather than dogging about in midfield.

Not saying it’s his future position like just he can make up for defensive failings in other ways

The MoM is chosen by the sponsor and they pick the player they want to meet and have a photo with, it’s as simple as that and never really about who was the actual best player on the day

The way we set up today allowed Galbraith to get forward without worrying about being out of position, a bit like what happens on the left when Rowe goes forward.

[LincsRover]

The pass for dodoo’s goal was worth the entry fee alone - brilliant, and great finish by dodoo. 

[Monkcaster_Rover]

I thought Olowu was great today at LB to say he hasn't got a left foot.
