    O'Connor was nowhere near Walker for our goal, he was on the back post area and Walker was in the middle of the goal upload_2023-9-25_11-51-38.png

    Exactly my point. If he'd been further forward with the keeper on his line, then O'connor could have cleared the header. He was doing what he does well. Hiding.

    Halliday and Stubbs were both there and should play. Pattison and Chapman probably don't make it though!

    No centre back would be in the middle of the goal for a free kick from that angle, the danger is players like Stubbs and Platt at the back post. The only person to blame for that goal is their keeper for coming out when he had no need to.

    The BBC stats say that both sides had 5 shots on target.

    Wrong. It's more likely to be full backs on the goal line with central defenders in the middle. Why would any positionally aware CB stand on the goal line for a free kick 30 yards out.

    O'Brien was easily our best player that season. Unconvinced that O'Conner was a bad as you clearly imply.

    Played a significant part in the Morecambe team that bet the odds and survived in L1. But of course that means he must be a terrible CB, because, well er, you say so.

    Explain the difference from me describing him as "useful" and you "not writing him off".

    I've got the beer and popcorn ready.

    Where did I say terrible? You've embarrassed yourself and now you're trying to spin it.

    One season he was here we finished bottom of the division and conceded the 3rd highest amount of goals (77). They ALL must have had at least the odd bad game!

    He had an absolute shocker, looked like he'd never played football before and should have been hooked at half time.

    My view - let's not write the lad off.

    Your view - he looked useful.

    Enjoy your popcorn but put down the beer m8. You clearly drink far too much before posting.
