Well done o'brien

Re: Doesn't seem to be doing too much different from last season

He had a very good game did JOB. Never stops making the runs which keeps their defenders on their heels. He is turning into an important player for us. Thought Drinkwater was his usual busy self, he is forever snapping at heels trying to win the ball back, but he was a bit loose with the ball at times, similar story for Doyle, but both had decent games. Unsung heroes for me though were Foster, Edwards and McNulty, defended very well. I have been very impressed with McNulty so far, CB or LB he puts in a performance.

 

i though jimbo got at easton well and beating him on both sides early helped.

 

I wonder when he's going to have a shave, he's starting to look like a yeti!

 

Re: Butterfield had a fairly quiet game

totaly agree with that if obrian had stayed on right we would have had a hat full that young lad didnt know wether he wanted a **** shave or a haircut.Cant wait for everyone to be fit cos when they are and it all comes together well murder somebody, im lovin it

 

Re: Butterfield had a fairly quiet game

its pont ouyt everal time why he changed wings it was to trippier getting forward.

Which as usaual JOB put a great shift in a achieved

 

Thats what Ponty and me were saying last night - it's having a Samson effect on him lol. He was excellent again last night.

 

Quite so.

Although O'Brien was caught sleeping when Trippier escaped down the right hand side moments later.

 

For me its the system that he has been crying out for last season apart from himself and Butts there was very little pass and movement from the rest of the team.

This season he seems to have been given more freedom, gets given the ball more when in space meaning he is much more involved and with that his confidence has grown and so have is performances and assists. His downside for me is his scoring record.

Last season he got lambasted for wanting the ball when in space and throwing a paddy because he didn`t receive it, which was strangebeing criticised for showing some passion, this season Doyle and Butts in the main are pinging some great balls out to him but he`s still furious if he doesn`t get the ball.

For me he his a team player rather than an individual and just what Mr Hill wants, keep it up Jim consistency is the key.

 

He's out of contract next summer isnt he? Another one we need to get sorted.

 

Club ought to ask him to keep the beard.. and start selling replicas in Club shop

Would go down well nearer Xmas.
