The amount of times this bloke overruns the ball or fumbles now is silly.
Is either devoid of confidence and is rusty or is just regressing at a rapid rate.
Neither of which are ideal seeing as he is such a great player when in form.
We need him back to his best ASAP, however it is starting to feel like a case of the Hibberd’s. Fantastic player for 2-3 seasons and then falls off a cliff suddenly.
Yep. Although I’m not sure he’s a threat to Bags at present. But I’d be looking over my shoulder if I was Conor. Reckon McNiece could push him back a spot in the pecking order.
Maybe , but what type of defender are we looking for? , Mc Niece is not a run and carry player, but he can mark and has laser disposal… Conor is more aggressive and is fitter and stronger, and will run with the ball, which does give a little time for the forwards to set up and lead. he also has good disposal but not as good as Mc Niece whose disposal is “exquisite”
Considering how often and quickly the ball was pumped in there he was ok. A lot of the goals conceded was because he did the team thing to help a teammate when outnumbered.
