Everyones playing far better under ollie because hes playing the team to their strengths rather than trying to force a different style on them
Also confidence shot which nas says has nothing to do with it, nas will not have any of it or listen to that podcast which i havnt done!

I encourage everyone to have a listen, Conor from about 9 minutes in... https://soundcloud.com/west-twelve-m...nor-believe-us
https://soundcloud.com/west-twelve-m...nor-believe-usOriginally posted by Hubble View PostIt's also really good to hear his views on the much-maligned (on here) Nedum Onuoha, whom Conor calls "the best skipper I've had."Originally posted by Rangers77 View PostAn intelligent, modest and polite man. And a footballer, too. I suspect he doesn't own a pair of Dr Dre Beats. A man, it seems, unlike some, who is not sooooooooo far up his own a ss that, were he to post on a forum, he wouldn't monomonically and tediously express and boringly defend his wrongheaded opinions at length. I think.
All of this, and besides playing him in his best position & system, he now has a manager who clearly believes in him and gives him confidence - which is massive for a player. Overall the team spirit is far better under Ollie too, which again plays a huge role.

Sometimes many factors contribute to below par performances. In CW circumstance it was mainly the fact he was being played out of position, no? Put Jamie Vardy on the left-wing game after game and I'd have a nice little wager on him not scoring any goals/confidence on the floor.
My point is, rather than just saying someone is 'sh1te', ignoring any little positive in their play - why not look at why they may be below par?Last edited by West London is Rss; 23-02-2017, 03:30 PM.

And I totally take on board your Vardy example. If he was being played on the left wing, he wouldn't be anywhere near as effective, therefore he would be shite. You put someone like Darrell Furlong up front on his own, would he be good? No. He'd be shite, would he not?
That was my point. Apologies for not making myself clearer.Last edited by Ginger Ninja; 23-02-2017, 05:53 PM.Top Scorers 2018/2019

Originally posted by Ginger Ninja View PostHave i ever said he's a shite player, or blamed him for being shite? Nope. And you can look through my posts too, not once said that. In fact, I blame the management for him being shite, just like everyone else does, including yourself. But the fact remains, he was shite. For that year, he played for us as a forward, and didn't score. Not his fault, but the fact remains he was shite. He wasn't good. Can you accept that?

Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.
I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.
We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!
