Richard O'Donnell

Last I’d heard of him he was at Oxford

 

Bring back Tomo , Tomo Tomo.
Forgot what it’s like to love our keeper.

 

Blackburn

 

knew he ended up above us. He was only a kid when he flopped with us

 

And Oxford dude. Played well for them.

 

Just watched the highlights of last nights game. WTF was ROD doing for their winner? He just fell to the floor. All he had to do was punch the fecking ball and they wouldn't have scored off the lads backside.

 

Yes. He played for Blackburn and Portsmouth iirc.

but he was a nervous wreck here on loan in his youth.

 

Doesnt command his box

 

Not the first time he has hid on his goal line behind a melee. He is the one who has the benefit of using his hands.He should be in front to command the situation.Also feel he could have made a better effort for the first by getting behind the ball and not diving around it.

 

get rid of the useless pos

 

Watching ROD is like watching my granny play in nets.

 

Look on the bright side he will always be fit as not much chance of him catching anything

 

Richard O’Donnell is a true professional, he is loyal to Bradford City and a previous club captain. I find it intolerable that a certain few wish to target him. He certainly isn’t the problem causing our current problem, for one he plays at the opposite end of the pitch! Shame on you!

 

I was waiting for the sarcasm after reading the first line, but it never arrived!

He is part of a back 5 that concedes sloppy goals he doesnt deserve his own thread nor should he be excluded from recent criticism.

 

Morning Richard.......

Loyal as in arrived on a decent contract despite being part of two relegations in the previous two years.

Then get relegated with us, continue to let in the same silly goals in season 2 as you did in season 1

Get offered a new renewed contract despite all of the above, even walking back into the side once fit despite your deputy residing over a run of one loss in what 12 games?

Carry on this season, with more pathetic goalkeeping, conceding regularly the same afore mentioned goals, near post, outside the box and from balls across the six yard box, AND YET still get picked.

I wonder why he is so keen to remain loyal, nothing to do with not a getting a gig elsewhere by any chance

 

Watching the highlights, at least he made a decent save when their player was one on one. Apart from that, it looked very much like a case of uncommanding goalkeeping - palming shots away instead of holding onto the ball, and not coming out for crosses including the one that cost us the match.

Problem is though, if he's first choice, how bad must Hornby be in DA's eyes? From what I've seen of him, he looks a bit erratic, but has the potential to do a job if he just got a run of games. It's the same old scenario of DA being stubborn and starting the same players. But of course, it's not his problem if they don't perform.

 

O'Donnell may be a great professional and loyal, but he's crap and one of the worst keepers in the league with cardboard hands. Loyalty & professionalism are fantastic attributes, and I applaud them, but I don't want him anywhere near the 192 sq ft that he is paid to defend, in the same way I don't want Stuart McCall (the epitome of loyalty to BCFC, love from supporters and professionalism as a player) anywhere near our managers job ever again.

 

Is you're granny available as a free agent, Ulysses?

 

Oh you cheeky Northern Monkey, you!
