De Vries was much better too.
RE: Brice Samba - Alf - 06-12-2020
Brice 'aint been good for some time now. Think last year's team with Cash, Daws & Watson made him look better than he is.
Still think he's OK though. But, like most out signings, got vastly overrated & hyped up after Lamouchi got them over-performing last year.
RE: Brice Samba - ozzyten10 - 06-12-2020
His kicking is OK but labours over everything. I thought he was under instruction but does nothing with urgency. Crap on pens. Started well on crosses with strong punching and claims but this is now so poor.
Teams have scored so many goals from free kicks to the back post which is a real weakness of his as he stays rooted and doesn’t command. Saturday was no surprise...
RE: Brice Samba - optimistic_red - 07-12-2020
I think his "laid-back" style makes it look like he's not trying or bothered. I think he's decent, and comparisons to players we had here years ago is a bit irrelevant.
Surely the 1st goal (against Reading) should not have gone to penalty as he had BOTH hands on the ball. Yes he should have claimed better and made sure the player couldn't get it and ref doesn't have a decision to make.
No keeper is perfect and they do make mistakes. Also they tend to look worse in a bad team and better in a good team.

He's an average championship keeper. Bit harsh, maybe upper average.
I think his combination eccentric & laid back style masks that his performances are generally better when his confidence is high.
RE: Brice Samba - audiosmee - 07-12-2020
Maybe he's missed Worrall's vocal style too.
Awkwardly too, i think he knew he'd dropped a clanger on Saturday as he did come for lots of crosses and punched away- much more so than he usually does. And he did it well too so he maybe needs encouraging, on the pitch and off, to be more front footed.
His shot stopping is super- he does make that look easy
RE: Brice Samba - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 07-12-2020
I haven't had this confirmed so I can't confirm it's true but thee are some rumours that Samba has been done for drink driving allegedly.
RE: Brice Samba - ThePromisedLand - 07-12-2020
That was rumoured on social media over the weekend - with suggestions that this was generally known.
RE: Brice Samba - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 07-12-2020
Well if it's true then surely he should be fined and dropped?
RE: Brice Samba - ozzyten10 - 07-12-2020
He was - when it happened at the back end of the season.
RE: Brice Samba - Salvatore Matrecano - 07-12-2020
Yes the rumours were at the end of last season which will be why there were murmurings about management not liking his attitude that surfaced around the same time. To be honest the club did pretty well to hush it all up.
RE: Brice Samba - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 07-12-2020
So it goes back to the end of last season then. I am surprised he's still here then to be honest.
