Brandon Galloway - Opinion please

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi all,

My name is Adam from PASOTI (Plymouth Argyle Supporters On The Internet) and as you may well know, Brandon Galloway is on trial with us and a Contract has been offered.

Part of my role at Pasoti is to write Articles introducing new players, essentially a brief written piece with some details about the players past.

However it would be really useful if I could have a couple of quotes from yourselves on your opinions of Galloway.

I know it’s been a few years since he left Goodison but Everton are still the club that he made the most appearances for (17).

Thanks in advance.
Always liked Plymouth, a proper club. He’s a good kid look after him lads. Will keep an eye out for your results.

IMO back line players seem to improve in their mid-late 20s just needs some exp.

He was signed in 2014 as a young centre back with potential, and had a really good year in u23s, which led to him making his debut in the 1st team before the end of the season at left back. He did really well, looked fast and assured and solid defensively, but also covered ground going forward as well.

The next season, Baines was injured in preseason so he came in and started the season in the 1st team, again playing left back and did really well, before being dropped without really doing anything wrong when Baines returned, and found it hard to get back in. To my knowledge, he never got a try in the centre of what was an admittedly fragile defense under Martinez.

Tall and athletic, he always looked very composed to me for a young lad, and looked like we had a real find, but timing is everything and as the team struggled, he was never going to be dropped back in it.

After Martinez was sacked, in came Ronald Koeman, who basically washed his hands of anything that could be related back to Martinez. He was sent out on a terrible season long loan to West Brom under Tony Pulis, which was a complete disaster, and it appeared to destroy any confidence he had when he 1st came through. Another disaster of a season long loan to relegated Sunderland the following year, who signed both him and Tyias Browning on loan from us to replace half of their defence, and he was as good as done. Any leeway he might have had with Martinez was gone under Koeman, and even though Koeman was gone 18 months later, Galloway had dropped way down the pecking order and never looked like regaining his early promise.

Its a shame really, because early on, he looked like we might have another John Stones, but it wasn't to be.

Wish him luck at his new club and hope you have a good year. If he can rediscover what he showed in 2015, he could be a really good signing, but it's possible that his problems seem to be mental rather than physical, so it's a difficult 1 to judge.
 
He should never have been dropped by Martinez once Baines came back from injury - he didn't deserve to be dropped, and Baines didn't deserve to get back in.
Did the same thing with Howard and Joel. I have stuck up for Martinez fairly consistently, but it was decisions like these that I found the hardest to defend. Would love to have seen what a braver, more ruthless Martinez could've done, and with his plans for the youngsters we were bringing through at the time. Unfortunately, he seemed to be too nice/weak and gave into the pressure of the fans and senior players.
 

You’re more than welcome to view on the Pasoti website.

Unfortunately there won’t be any room for fake mentions of his current WWE wrestling cousin though, haha.

Hello buddy unfortunately if you are going to publish inaccurate information about one of our players this could be problematic.

It's important that we exercise quid pro quo, viz. I have given you an interview, you share with me the copy before publication
