Funny I thought O'Nien was awful today. I'm normally a big fan but looking at the last two games it's getting tough to see where he fits in.

I'd play him wing back on the right

Patrick Roberts
Should be starting every week if Pritchard isn't fit I think.

He can't when Broadheed is in and doing the biz

I'd play him wing back on the right

If that's the case he needs to be able to beat a man and get decent ball into the box which seems beyond him.

Would have more success in the championship. Physicality isn’t a strength of many of our players.

 

[PS]

Awful.

Discuss Ted more to the point. Undoubted technical skill combined with the heart the size of a pea.

Tbh play batth with Wright and Winchester cirkin left Luke right, Neil with Evans, Pritchard Stewart broadhead

 

[Geronimo]

An absolute waster.
Just not good enough, even at our current level.

He's so easy to mark out of the game. Show him onto his left foot and he's fucked.

 

[Ashley In!!]

He was really poor today, and I have to say I don't much like his attitude either when things aren't going well. A few suggested that would be an issue with him when he signed.

 

[deleted user 785]

Thought he was OK 1st half today, very poor 2nd half. He's very frustrating.

 

[Chucky Puddin]

Clearly a boy who has talents, but we can’t afford to carry him! Roberts has to start ahead of him!

Roberts’s body language looks like he couldn’t give a shit, didn’t do a thing or even try to change the game in the time he was on!

 

[Boot Cleaner]

Decision making is terrible. Infuriating

 

[rokerexile]

Might be hit and miss but every time I see him he just angers me. Lots of skill but seems to make the wrong decision too often. Doesn't help when he's taking set pieces instead of someone like Pritchard.

Thinks he's better than he is. Clearly talented but his decision making is awful because it's all about him. Needs a kick up the arse! Roberts is better and more mature.

 

[T_Bone]

Too laid back looks like he doesn’t give a shit.

Not a wing back

 

[Maravilla]

Our January business was utter crap mind. Matete aside, not one of the deals looks remotely good

Probably in the minority here but I'm not convinced about Matete at all either. So, so poor on the ball IMO.

 

[rokerexile]

Was awful today - should've been hooked after an hour. Mind you I didn't notice Gooch or Roberts when they came on.

Never heard nor saw Gooch after he entered the fray.

 

[T_Bone]

We have a great player up front who knows how to head the ball. Did he get one cross anywhere near him today ?

 

[rokerexile]

Probably in the minority here but I'm not convinced about Matete at all either. So, so poor on the ball IMO.

I think he's a decent player but he was poor today.

People have been calling for him to be played on the right as he's done on two occasions that I recall here before (and he was inconsistent and average there) as his delivery from the left has been poor and he played right most of today without much of an involvement and when he did have it he didn't look to have quality from his delivery anyway.

I would say that yes, maybe the wingback role isn't helping him, especially today when Plymouth were exposing the gaps behind first half, though my main grip with him isn't his defensive duties it's his lack of delivery or choices in the final third. I thought he became more involved and looked better when he moved out left again. He seems more natural carrying the ball and cutting in than he does actually playing it.

The conundrum with him is that out left he can beat his man and can carry the ball, but his choices and delivery are usually poor.
