Lord Lockin 3,911 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 See topics about different players last night, none on Sands, thought he was outstanding and along with Lawrence our best player on the night Fred H Crawford, GA1972, cstamomusa and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Albeartzzz 165 Posted August 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2022 I think his potential price tag affects that. He's not 4.5 million good, or anywhere near that. He did well. Made some horrific mistakes but so did Goldson and Lundstram and thankfully none were punished/we collectively made up for them. delparlane, Bad Robot, plymouthranger and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ForeverAndEver 71,482 Posted August 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2022 The tackle for that second yellow was incredible ElBufalo20, GA1972, plymouthranger and 17 others 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Still a little bit raw and forced the pass a couple of times but has the athleticism, physicality, and work rate to be a success. Think he’s a centre back falkirkNS, terry739 and delparlane 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ElBufalo20 7,892 Posted August 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2022 Had to make 3 recovery tackles from horrendous mistakes from team mates. First one was slightly mistimed with the booking but to put in the other 2 tackles to perfection whilst on a booking was superb. Deserves huge credit for that alone.

Popular Post The Specky Forum Organiser 64,682 Posted August 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2022 There is a player in there but really needs to cut out the silly passes, could have cost us a couple of times last night The No.9, WilliamMunny, JackAlex93 and 13 others 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,633 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Some great moments of composure followed by some dreadfully slack moments. On the whole I thought he was good, that Vanzier did fuck all, but could have cost us with sloppiness. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB14 2,760 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 He done the difficult things very well and struggled with some basic passes. Was a strange performance! Better opposition would have punished some of the mistakes but tbh you could say the same about Mclaughlin (who is getting off lightly on here), Goldson and Lundstram off the top of my head.

esquire8 42,708 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Played well, walked a tightrope a lot though. Not convinced he is a centre back, could do a job as a back up for Lundstram. The No.9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,205 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Think he’s been solid defensively there this season, he does need to cut out the passing mistakes on the ball though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,208 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 He’s massively surprised me at how decent he’s been at centre half, I never expected him to cope aerially the way he has. Stray passes look like stemming from trying too hard. Went up in my estimations and will do a job, but time for Davies to step in. We spent a lot of money on him.

Rangers_no1 32,465 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Was very good, not going to lie and say I was not worried about him getting a second yellow and would have made the sub at HT, however that was all Kent's fault for a horrific mistake. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangersross 6,530 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Can't deny he has some good moments but I'm just not seeing it with him. Always get the sense he's going to make an error that costs us dearly. BlueAvenger, Duncn, crabbit247 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speed of recovery (whether his own mistake or someone else’s) is superb and he got us out of a few holes last night.

SIRB_72 4,000 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Sands is and will prove to be a good player for us. His ability to play in defence and midfield will prove crucial in a season where we will look to play 55-60 games at the very least. Despite his high transfer value he'll be on peanuts because he's still on his MLS homegrown contract, which is an added bonus. I think he'll end up being revelation of the season like Bassey was last season. Gio has a real talent for improving players as we've seen with Bassey and Lundstram. richles1872 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniorsparkie 491 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 He’s too small to be a centre half in the SPL or Europe, and his nervousness in passing out is scary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyrussell 173 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Apart from 3/4 missplaced passes I thought he had a good game. richles1872 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamMunny 3,236 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If he cuts out the errors he will be a very good player for us. Done something brilliant then silly the next minute. There is a player in there though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
