Not sure what makes you think people would be watching a podcast in Cork. A current player, saying that our Captain, and best player, is too good for us, publicly, in an unfinished season where we are in the relegation zone and "fighting for survival" are welcome comments to you? I obviously don't follow other clubs, but i've never seen such pathetic attitudes from players at other clubs in situations like these. Most players would even rather lie to talk the club up, or about ambitions etc. Guessing you would be ok with Deano coming out and saying similar things about the whole team?

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Exactly the type of character which has us in 19th place and the easiest team to score on and the most passive, weak willed team in the league. Bunch of losers. Championship player. Championship mentality. Just here for the Craic and the sing song as old Roy would say.

Folk, will read in to it what they will, but I feel he had no fear in saying " Jack is too good for us" It maybe true, but its not his place to say it.....It smacks of lack of discipline in the ranks. If I was the manager, I would take it as a pop at me. Edited May 1, 2020 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 He should be fined. Could very well score goals that could keep us up this season. Depends how hard everyone else works to give him a nice easy game where he can choose to turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 12 hours ago, Tomaszk said: Bang on. Bottler. He's the biggest coward at the club. More frustrating than actual bad players like Taylor, he'll try when it's nice and easy before shrivelling away as soon as he's dumped on his arse. Doesn't matter if it's Man City or Burton Albion. If someone gets into him he hides away from the ball for as long as he can before being taken off. He's just physically very lightweight and out of his depth. "A bottler", no. We would all look like "bottlers" if we played at this level. You're confusing quality with mentality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hides from responsibility in any game where he has any difficulty, this is so obvious. Watch him run behind players so he isn't an option for a pass. Watch him flick the ball off to no one when he's being closed him down so he doesn't have to shield the ball. These aren't technical shortcomings, he's scared to fight for the ball, to protect possession. He could score the goals to keep us up if his ten teammates to do the graft for him, you're confusing quality with mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I remember Berger saying similar about Barry should move to Liverpool and we got rid of him a week later although he was out of contract anyway IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds a bit harsh....but sadly you are right and I can't deny it. but, He doesn't pick himself. we have about 5 players in the squad who are not much better, hence the chopping and changing to find some consistency( speaking before we locked down of course).....That is down to the manager and his vision or the lack of it.....Conor is not a premiership player, he does not have enough to his game, to be one. However, At no time during Deans 18 months have I heard any sign from him that we need a midfield General.....He keeps faffing around with lightweight midfielders and can't seem to see the real issue.
