Conor Hourihane - thanks and farewell

[garyshawsknee]

This is where Smith deserves criticism, why does he keep starting him?

Gotta be a lack of options. He did work quite well with Jack and McGinn, though that seems like a life time away.

[tomd2103]

Became apparent last season that he wasn't quite good enough and would probably be better utilised as an impact sub.  Thought he was poor today and got caught in possession too many times.

[achilles]

He just can't tackle which is pretty fundamental for a midfield player (or footballer for that matter)!
Don't get me started on the number of times he ends up on his backside waving his arms about for a free kick instead of getting on with the game!

[sirlordbaltimore]

Woeful. AGAIN

[Loxton01]

I gave him a 1 today for the assist. He is totally woeful. He is not a defensive midfielder

He gets slower and slower he cannot tackle and simply cannot cover the ground.

He is simply not good enough he reminds me of Alan Thompson another one who thought he was better than what he was waving his arms about.

He is crap

I think 1 is fairly generous Loxton! Absolutely abysmal. Only Bolasie was worse for me.

No doubt he'll pop up with a good free kick in the next few weeks to remind us how good he is before hibernating for the next six weeks.

If he is not scoring goals, he is adding nothing to the team.  He isn't a great tackler, passer or a physical presence.  Big fish in a small pond at Barnsley, scored a few playing further forward under Bruce last season but utterly out of his depth with this coaching team.  If we could swap him for someone, I'd be more than happy with that outcome.

I'd swap him for more half time catering staff.

Deal!!

Another great assist by Conor, well done. Much better 2nd half showing, when pushing forward. A dm he's not and I doubt he's choosing to play that position. Woeful was bolassie and barny! What an attempted header by barny in the 2nd half when in the 6 yard box. It was easier to score yet it ended up going towards the centre circle. What did bolassie do in the 60+ minutes he was on the pitch?

[The_ads]

The Alan Thompson analogy is spot on. He’s dreadful

[frank black]

Can’t afford to carry him around in games. He’s always going to create/score and he’s always going to allow the opponents to create/score.

[PeterWithe]

I’m not a fan

[garyshawsknee]

When he was playing in a 3 with Jack and McGinn he wasn't looking as exposed because we kept the ball better, now when things are getting tough, he's the last guy you want to drag us out of it, far too slow and lightweight. I count it as 5 midfielders I'd happily move on.

[Pvb1968]

He is a passenger in our midfield, yet another 5 grand a week player who we chose to pay at least 5 times that amount, one day we will have a team that are worth there ridiculous wage packet.
