Conor Hourihane - thanks and farewell

[darren woolley]

You have to laugh, 1 late goal midweek and a stunning Hattrick Saturday and he's being linked with a move away all of a sudden. You've got to laugh at the press. No doubt if Davies plays well again on Tuesday the Suns back page will read 'Keen-On Davies' 'Chelsea and Man City to battle for teenage sensation'....

What Mr Griswold said. Had he not scored that hat-trick on Saturday, that article would probably never have been written.

Agreed.

[Matt Collins]

The same journalist was adamant Hutton was going to Sheffield Wednesday

I wish he'd been right

[Ozzjim]

As you said yesterday...

I imagine we'd be able to fend Brighton off.

It would have to be quite some offer for us to even contemplate it given the transfer fees in the PL and that he's got 3 years left on his contract.

If Clucas is going to Swansea for 16.5m from Hull, then Hourihane is worth around 20!

Speaks well in his interview on the OS after the game on Sat. Big praise for Davis. Seems a very level headed bloke, I really hope this week is the start of him playing to his potential because he was bloody brilliant at Barnsley.

Pretty much thought the same. Deserved all the success after the shift he put in on Saturday. Long may it continue.

Let's hope this is the start of a really good season for him.

Second in the championship top scorers table. Top on goals for minutes played.

[Villa75]

I like him.

Glad he fucked Snodgrass off for the free kick.

[Matt Collins]

Really pleased for him. Great to have that extra threat

Wish he was a bit more confident on the ball in open play - he plays more backwards passes than Westwood ever did

The midfielders are coming to the party with goals which is very pleasing.

[Rudy65]

Needs to be more advanced but playing two wingers means he cant. Like him a lot

He can play advanced with two wingers - that's how he got his hat trick against Norwich. But you probably have to sacrifice a striker. But if the one up top is someone who can hold the ball up and give the likes of Hourihane time to get up to support it works. Make Hogan the one up top and it really doesn't.

[PaulWinch again]

Nice to see he's growing into the role now.

[Matt Collins]

He’s having a good season, but I’d say he’s looked off the pace last couple of games. For a “cultured midfielder” I don’t think he deals with the ball under pressure a lot of the time

I’d give Angela a start v Millwall

[Rudy Can't Fail]

To get the best out of both, they need to be played in their best position. Neither are defensive midfielders. Whelan is no box-to-box midfielder either. Omanah is not attacking midfielder. Bruce will get there eventually. Once he sorts out our midfield we'll destroy teams. Bless him, he's still learning (the basics).
