AVTuco Posted March 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2017 I was asking a couple games back that why did we go get this guy and how on earth was he supposed to be one of the best midfielders in the Championship. I'm ridiculously glad he's put me right these two last games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 watching that video and videos before, he is a lad that spoke well but I think maybe the club was bigger than he expected but last couple of games it sounds like he is starting to find his feet at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct... good spot, he's not David Platt, he's Connor Hourihane, who could end up being as good as David Platt - something neither you nor I will know until it either happens or doesn't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Got a feeling this guy could be key to our future success now he seems to be finding his feet in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Its hard to play with new players.. just like in real life.. you know who the shit workers are at your job.. so you avoid them at all times.. and goto the good ones for advice etc. Same in football.. he will learn who to pass to and when.. who makes what runs etc. He just needs more of the ball.. he was missing early on as we just lumped it forward.

FrenchVillaLova Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 For some reason I just can't pronounce his name without doing it in a Japanese way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 He has left his scoring boots at Barnsley. Missed a fair few chances on Saturday and having just watched the highlights, I have no idea how hasn't scored that chance tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) The goals will come, I'm sure. The promising sign is that he's still getting into these positions and it hasn't been 'coached out of him' as some joke/seriously say in regards to players. The best in the World miss sitters. If he stopped making these runs into the box and being in such positions then I'd worry. I know it counts for nothing in regards to this one match but we need to think bigger picture. You wouldn't get the likes of Westwood putting himself in these sorts of chances. The guy will be good for us, I am fully confident of it.

Not to turn it in to a Westwood thing as it wasn't exclusive to him, but we've had a big issue with midfielders not being in the right areas the past few years and Hourihane certainly is changing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, absolutely, I don't/didn't want to turn it into a Westwood thing, many midfielders over the past few years can be accused of the same. Our goals from midfield has been atrocious and not really due to poor finishing, more just even getting into scoring positions in the first place. Hourihane is a at least getting himself in there.

kurtsimonw Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 He'd have definitely scored that chance at Barnsley though, bloody Bruce coaching finishing out of him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 You have to hand it to Bruce. To be able to re-train a good finisher into being a bad finisher is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 He could have had 3 in his last 3 games. When was the last time we could say that about a cm? I'm confident he will get goals for this team. Glad he's starting to look much more settled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 On the radio Mark Regan was saying it was an easy chance, but having watched the highlights it wasn't that simple, not much time and narrow angle. By no means a "sitter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have at least hit the target though and if he had done so a good chance he would have scored - good that he's getting in those positions though . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Same goes for Bjarnason. You can see why these guys have decent goal records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
