although we were shit. I felt it was the best he’s played since Parkinson came in, the other night. First half anyway.

Agree completely with this. There’s only been occasional flashes from O’Nien. Thought he was decent against Burton and think it was Oxford? Other than that he’s been poor. I’d have given him a spell on the sidelines in any case. Hopefully by the time he’s back we’re confident and flying under a new coach.

I don't think he was that good last season either. He's massively over rated

Nice to see a few wading into the lad when he’s suffered a bad injury. Whatever his abilities, he is easily among the best 11 players in this shit show of a squad and we are weaker without him.

Bang on. Still one of our better players though. Says more about the squad than it does of him. Saying that, the lad has hardly played in the position we signed him in.

They’ve all been off the boil ! However some can only ever achieve a simmer

Will be a big miss.
Totally different role though - Dobson is considered as a defensive/holding midfielder. O'Nien would presumably be an attacking midfielder

It would surely be an instant ban if I was to post what I consider Dobson to be.

Hopefully we'll see Sanderson actually play where he did a very good job for Cardiff in the league above. I'm convinced the only reason we haven't is because we told Wolves we'll only play him centre half and that's why we got him. Surely it isn't because our manager and coaches don't have a f***ing clue is it?
Even when Sanderson came on the other night we ended up playing him centre half and moved McLaughlin instead of just putting him on as a direct like for like replacement

Here's a novel suggestion, give him a run of games, in his rightful position!, he deserves zero criticism having stepped up to the plate without any complaints for 2 years!

We don't know what he's like in training though. He might be worse than the rest of them which is why he doesn't get any games playing there

I think O'Nien is indispensable for his simple positive energy and I, too, thought he was our sparkiest player on Tuesday. His link-ups with Embleton were promising at times.

Are you really suggesting that 09 is any worse than the rest of our midfield players?
At least they've had the opportunity to show what their about in their preferred positions, whilst 09 has spent his time with us covering at right wb, and left ch!
Have you noticed, a lot of intricate one twos happen down the right between 09 and Maguire, that's why I would play 09 as a No10, with Muguire and ANO up front.

Did he give any news on Wyke's injury?
