Set pieces are also universal, can play premier league or sunday league. A good delivery will cause trouble regardless I said it when he was out if form that we should squeeze him into the team anywhere possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a wand of a left foot and so deadly from set pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 the follow up shot was a bit ropey lol but kudos to the dude at the end of the wall doing his bit by pushing all the defenders out of the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Conor was good in both games for Ireland in the last week. MOTM against the mighty Gibraltar and scored the winning goal against Georgia. I hope he will continue his good form for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Playing regularly for ROI will only improve conor. I'm delighted for him. He has been a absolute bargain. I'll give Bruce that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 McGinn and Hourihane have 30 goals and assists between the two of them so far this season. Feels weird getting consistent output from midfield but long may it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think he's a good rotation option in this league, but a million miles from what we need for automatic promotion. He scores goals and assists, by having a wicked left peg, but be is like Darrent Bent in the sense that when he doesn't he contributes very little. Don't rate him much personally.

He's got the right attitude too which is a massive plus for me. In my opinion he was very unlucky not to start again Blackburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Would probably still be in the team if he's wife didn't give birth lol. That was the day Whelan came in and played a good game, and never been out of the team since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have good options at the moment with Whelan coming in to some form. it’s great to see. Edited April 2, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I imagine next time he will get back in will be Rotherham now for a midweek Glenniesta rest. Then he has to put in a proper performance to keep his place for Bristol. Everyone is on their toes now. It is great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 It is great. I think it's also important for everyone to accept they won't play every game, as it'll keep them fitter for longer, and prolong their careers. Everything is going swimmingly, so let's hope it continues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Smith has the Southgate approach when picking his team. No first name on the team sheet nonsense. If you miss a game and your replacement plays well, it's up to you to fight your way back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hourihane wasn't in the squad for one game because he's wife were giving birth and Whelan played well in Hourihane's absence. Imagine losing your place in the team because you attended your wife's birth, that's harsh Edited April 2, 2019 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 He doesn't deserve to be in the team at the moment, it's as simple as that. Whelan is the more effective player and he is nowhere near the level of Mcginn and Grealish. I don't care about his assists and passing accuracy stats, I remember him being atrocious during our 14 game poor spell without Grealish. I don't have any sympathy. He needs to work hard to get his place back and probably wouldnt if Glenniesta's legs werent 35yrs old. He's a middle of the road championship player and I'm not surprised we've played some of our best stuff without him in the side. I've just re-read all of the above, it sounds like I really hate him - I don't - I just think we could do better. Decent squad player for us.

Unless you're Jack Grealish and you come back from 3 months injured, get named skip, and lead the boys to 5 wins on the bounce. Although I suppose no one really played well when Jack was out! Agree with your point but I think on occasion it could cost us in the case of Grealish and McGinn. They simply must play if fit, they're a cut above anything else at the club.
