Lewis O'Brien

Agreed but the position that needs sorting is a target man, instead they go for a unproven midfielder....

 

You’re saying if we were winning games all the time people would be happy?

You might have a point tbf.

 

Colville has already knocked in a couple of goes and by all accounts done well he must have played with Obrien so maybe a couple of young triers will do better than Alkpan and Wright I hope they can

 

19 year old just out of the Hudders academy. Mickey (Mouse) Collins take a bow - no doubt the final piece of the jigsaw that makes up our 2021/22 National League promotion winning side.

 

Welcome to the club Lewis, ignore the h8torz.

 

I’m being facetious, just for a change.

I’ve no idea how this kid will do. And as with all signings, we should reserve judgement on the player will we’ve seen them play a few games.

My problem isn’t with him, or even the signing, as such.

My problem is with pissing money up the wall on a development squad, at the expense of a stronger first team, and then signing 19 and 20 year olds like Miller and O’Brien.

If our own 19/20 years in the development squad aren’t good enough to play 5-10 games, some from the bench, then what’s the point.

It’s not rocket science. Get a core of 16-18 strong and experienced first team players, and supplement it with 7-8 younger fringe players who’ll naturally be exposed to first team football through injuries, suspensions and opportunities from the bench.

As with everything we do, even a misguided strategy isn’t implemented properly.

Its no wonder we’re a clusterf*ck.

 

Outstanding post

 

Has this kid been out on loan to any other club or is this his first experience of first team football.

 

With all the midfielders the new master plan is obviously to play 2 7 1.

 

We sign this nobody on loan from Huddersfield, yet Luton have signed O’Kane from Leeds today. A 28 year old Irish international that played 30 odd games in the championship last season

 

Akpan played a similar amount in the Championship last season. Means nowt now

 

For a relegated side and a team not good enough for championship football, yes.

 

Whatever mess we are in, we should not be giving this lad grief; he is here to try and improve our team and his own career. Yes we needed players in key positions in our squad and I really wanted a striker, but let’s see if he can make a difference.

 

Good luck O’Brien. Hope he can be a success here

But in the words of Tony soprano, is this all there is?

 

Whilst I agree that some fans treatment of this player has already been atrocious, especially given that he hasn’t even kicked a ball for us, your comment is rather odd? Of course no one would be complaining if we won, there wouldn’t be an issue to rectify. However, there is a problem and it does need rectifying. The player shouldn’t be taking any flak whatsoever, but if this is it, on the face of it, it’s a shambolic effort from management!

 

Yup, looks like the fat lady has already sung.

Who needs quality signings anyway.

 

I will give the lad a chance nobody knew much about Burke Cullen or guy all 3 would have been welcome back. The problem is we are so lightweight upfront it's scary and that's what should have been addressed.

 

So what.

Huddersfield planning life in the Championship.

Also we gave Patrick a 3 year deal and look where he is now.

 

He'll probably need lots of it.

 

Maybe he'll be a breath of fresh air like Lewis Guy.

Or maybe he'll be as first team-ready as former team mate Jacob Hanson.

Who knows.

But I agree, it makes the development squad project look even stupider than it looked in the first place.
