He wouldn't get in our team now, Rudoni is literally miles better than him.

How we could have done with him tonight, somebody brave enough to take a pass with his back to goal, make angles and open the game up.

Think he would’ve helped tonight, as would Torp but very hard to break down two banks of five, so crowded in there. They defended really well. Let’s see if they can do the same Tuesday

To then do what with it?

 

[fernandopartridge]

To then do what with it?

To open the game up, to draw players out of position to allow another player to go into the space. Or we could keep playing the game and hoping for a mistake

 

[Saddlebrains]

Hes going to have the last laugh it seems

 

[stupot07]

Can all the dickheads stop calling him Judas, it's pathetic, we signed him on a free, he was brilliant for us, then left us at the end of his contact. He's probably doubled his wages, and very likely to get promoted this season. Football careers are short. He owes us nothing.

Played a huge part in 2 goals in an away play off game. Fantastic player, only a moron would disagree

 

[skyblue025]

Why are people still banging on about him over a year after he last played for us?
We've had much better players leave over the years and they don't get a mention. Let it go and move on.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I think the manner in which he left is why people hate him (ie the crap he spouted about us after he left and the way he made it seem we denied him opportunities to play following his ACL injury when there were legitimate reasons why he wasn’t playing). Add to that his ego seemed to grow larger following Vik’s and Hamer’s departures and he felt he was destined for the Premier League which many might have come to terms with. Yet he joined a direct rival in the same division as us and the way he paraded himself with shades on just didn’t go down well with the fans.

Until Jan 26 and he’s being loaned out to the championship.

Feck him and Sheffield United

Although if we go out Tuesday, Sheff U winning is the lesser of two evils

I can't stand either of them but having another parachute payment team out the way can only benefit us and if we are to go out and Sheff U completely don't turn up flop the final, it will feel like the biggest opportunity missed ever

If he scores the winner against Sunderland in the final then I will go a bit soft on him again

 

[SBAndy]

What crap did he spout about us?

Nowt. Think he’s referring to an AI-generated article with a fake quote which O’Hare shouted down.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

The large scale booing of him here in November was almost as tinpot as clapping Hamer when he took a corner

 

[Cally Fedora]

Who?

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Callum O’hare - Title winning Coventry legend, left on a free in May giving us plenty of time to recruit a replacement - booed

Gus Hamer - Won nothing, cried off injured in the biggest game of the season, dragged a transfer saga into August so we were unable to find a late replacement - applauded

Both joined the same team. Make it make sense.

 

[Nuskyblue]

To open the game up, to draw players out of position to allow another player to go into the space. Or we could keep playing the game and hoping for a mistake

Agreed.

To have had him of the left drifting in and occupying 2 or 3 defenders would have created space.

I kind of agree with him. Robins froze him out when it was clear he wasn’t signing a new contract.

that was a robins weakness. He was stubborn at times almost to the stage he’d just not play players. We should have been running O’Hare into the ground not freezing him out.

O’Hare would have done better than Palmer in the run in

 

[SkyblueTexan]

What crap did he spout about us?

Do not recall exact details but I think it was something along the lines of not receiving a new contract and not getting playing opportunities although his mind was made up to leave for a Premier League team anyway. Think Robins and DK made attempts to keep him, but obviously failed. If he’d gone to a lower Premier League team or maybe even any other Championship team besides Sheff Utd or maybe Sunderland I think nobody would’ve begrudged him as much. Anyway it’s no point harping over him. We’ve got a better player in Rudoni.

To be fair to him, he was dropped for Kasey Palmer who’s a League One player. The article where he was particularly scathing about us was most definitely AI generated.

I don't agree with this analysis.
Firstly, according to ITKs, King withdrew the contract offer after O'Hare kicked off about been subbed away at WBA and he got wind of it.

Secondly, he only got benched for a few games and was generally straight back in the next game.

It normally coincided with us having 3 games in a week due to a midweek fixture.

Think there was only 1 occasion where he was benched 2 games in succession and he was only dropped from the squad once, which was the game following the semi final when he clocked up some ridiculous running stats.

I see this as managing a player who'd not long returned from a serious injury.
I don't think in those circumstances a manager should be thinking about 'running a player into the ground'.

Yeah I remember at the time on here there were posters saying we should flog him and work him into the ground after it became clear he wasn’t signing a new contract. It was idiotic.

And it would have been irresponsible as well.

I’m surprised you’re surprised. They leave all manner of shit on there. It’s all clickbait.

 

[quinn1971]

The one player we could have done with Tuesday, great player for us, and should be remembered that way

 

[SBT]

Yet he joined a direct rival in the same division as us and the way he paraded himself with shades on just didn’t go down well with the fans.

What level of enthusiasm for signing with a bigger team for more money would you have considered appropriate?

Bit extreme - “running him into the ground” but we should have played him a lot more. He’d have been more effective than Palmer.

in fact I’ve no doubt that if Palmer hadn’t run across the pitch at wolves, O’Hare wouldn’t have played in the semi against United

 

[MalcSB]

As idiotic as playing Dabo out of position before fully recovered from injury? Fucking his career up?

But hiw do you know he was able to play that much football?
As I said, it was normally when there were 3 games in a week he was benched.
He was also subbed on quite early (for Robins) in some of those games

O’Hare himself said he was ready but wasn’t played.

in fact after the United game IIRC he was hardly played.

 

[clint van damme]

A player saying theyre ready and the medical team saying they're ready are 2 different things.

And we played 3 days in 9 games after the semi.
Dropped for the next game, played the next, bench the next.
You can argue he didn't get enough minutes, but it doesn't suggest he was being frozen out.

And the game he was dropped for was 3 days after the semi, I'm sure someone said he 13k as opposed to a game average of 6, if that's true its not really surprising to see someone rested.

Since he left on a free it honestly makes no difference to us. Not like there’s a sell-on clause anyway. However, I think Southampton had registered some serious interest in him at some point and Burnley had shown some interest in the past. Both were lower level Premier League teams at that point I think. If he’d ended up there I think people would’ve accepted it better and moved on.
