Looks entirely out of his depth at this level unfortunately, very lightweight and doesn't seem to have the ability to unlock defences. Hopefully just a matter of getting used to the league but not looking great so far

He would be better suited in a deeper role. There’s 5 players in the position he’s playing in who are injured or won’t play a game. Hillsner, Jobello, Bapaga, Kastaneer and Jones.

I reckon he is world class, easily the best player in this league.

Allen suffers a little from O’Hare being in team. At the end of Last season it was his interplay with Walsh who was excellent at playing early balls that was integral to Allen’s positive play.
O’Hare (if I have a criticism oh him) holds onto the ball for one touch too many at times and this negates some of Allen’s runs from deeper. The more they play together the better the understanding between the two

I felt this was particularly evident against Barnsley. There were times in the game where he should've probably taken a shot, or released the ball early rather than attempt a run or a take on. I think in all fairness there are times in games where you back him to dribble past half of an opponent's defence. Unfortunately, whilst that's probably something he could've gotten away with when playing against poorer defenders in League One and Two, it's something that obviously won't come off as often in the Championship.

I'm in exile these days. Can't hack the match threads and then I read through this type of thread and end up wishing I hadn't. This OP is the worst of them - doesn't have any opinions of his own, just reads one or two people's half-comments on a player and then regurgitates it fresh like he's had a lightbulb moment and makes 100 posts on it over 3 days. Tedious. Not sure he even realises how much of a sponge he is.

Pretty much sums him up. It's shocking really.

I don't think you can judge anyone on the game that has just been played, it obviously wasn't typical. Also early days yet, the team hasn't even had chance to settle yet.

On Allen, I think Robins thinks he is doing a reasonable job in his current position and will make little if any changes for the next game.

Exactly. O’Hare is young, enthusiastic and full of confidence. As he matures his ability at making better decisions of when to dribble, when to pass, when to pause will increase.
O’Hare is a special talent with bags of potential and I’m sure Robins, the coaching staff as well as senior players like kelly , mcfadzean and Allen are helping develop his all round play.

I wanted Allen dropped for Shipley, but it is entirely possible that a player can be on the bench and not be 100% fit.

Don’t bother. The basics of football goes over his head at times.

You already said today that if Kelly is fit he starts. But he's on the bench. So is he fit or not?

The comment was about the lack of punctuation not your mind blowing tactical thoughts.
