Dr_Pangloss Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Doing all the right things but still not getting a chance, might take an injury to someone for him to get a proper and well deserved run in the side (just like how Davis got his chance in the first place). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'd like to see him get a start - Weds prob too soon, but Sat definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Should be at least on the bench but I would def consider starting him. Bruce ain't got the cojones tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a bit unfair, Bruce has brought through Green & Davis. O'Hare has been on the fringes too. Imagine if this was Lambert - all three will probably be playing for Preston now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings us something we don't currently have - the ability to play through the middle and breakdown defences. I am baffled he wasn't even on the bench on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup but he didn't get a run in the side until injuries occurred. Playing a random game with nothing to play for is different to starting a must win game as Norwich was. If Hogan was fit then we may not have seen Davis as much as we have done this season. A bit like Adomah. Bruce wanted to sell him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 What does he actually play? If he is an attacking mid, we currently have Onomah, Grealish, and now O'hare for that spot. Plus we mostly only play 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this really a stick? If we were going well in the league then I would agree with you. There have been plenty of games where O'Hare could've made a difference. Having Bjarnnson on the bench instead of him shows you where Bruce's head is at. Safety first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2017 Excellent to hear about his performance. Not expecting him to start league matches yet, but I’d like to see him being brought on in games when we’re not being played off the park and the pressure is off a bit. Try and ease him in.

We are 6th the league, hardly doing badly. O'Hare has been on the been on the bench a few times this season. We had Davis and Hogan on the bench against blues, 2 attacking options. Bjarnasson whilst no great shakes can cover most positions down the left or the middle. It makes sense to have that kind of player on the bench. I'd love O'Hare to break through, but I see no problem not having him on the bench for a heated derby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I actually think the of O Hare would be alongside Grealish as they'd both play each other well and link passes. However, to have them both in the team, you'd have to play a 4231, with Davis likely to be the front man to add a physical presence and hold the ball up. Whilst interesting to see, I think we'd lack a goal threat, whereas Hogan or Kodjia would offer more of a goal threat, but not give the hold up play.

meregreen Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 We really shouldn’t deny one of our own youngsters a start, in order to accommodate a Spurs loanee. Or a has been from Stoke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
