Was his crossing any good, thoroughout his career it has been his achilles heel

Put in some great ones today, just needed a striker on the end

Douglas nearly scored too!

Nice to hear that a winger has done a great game. I miss the old classic wingers that hugged the touchline and crossed. We need one at the right side too. JP is not that kind of player.

He showed us glimpses in the pre season friendly down at Poole when he scored one of the best goals I have seen by a Swindon player, awesome.

Sounded excellent today, keep it up OAB.

He was probably inspired by me naming him as my new favourite player after the Tranmere game. Sort of spurred him on.

"ALAN ALAN ALAN ALAN".

Excellent today. Not all his crosses were quality but a fair few were. Their right back was shitting himself every time he ran at him.

His running was superb, his end product is still not the best but got some good balls into the box today. Good striker would of had a hat full of his crosses in today.

I wouldn't have called him excellent, his running was superb but his crossing does not match his runs.  If only he would look up to see who was available and we would have a real gem.

Tore Exeter a new arsehole today, might aswell play a centre back who can head a ball up there if O'brien plays balls like that in every week  ;) doubt he would of ever thought this morning that by 4.45 he'd be a Swindon hero with the whole ground chanting his name

If that was him shooting before kick off, then he got a decent shot for a defender.

Post by: Barnard on Saturday, January 29, 2011, 20:14:54
Everything was better. First touch was good, short passing fine, didn't run the ball out of play, Played three balls in that deserved finishing off and several others that didn't quite find a target. Scared the shit out of all and sundry with his pace.

He was fucking knackered at the end and fully deserved his Man of the Match award.

I think we've now seen why Wilson has persevered with him. Now just keep it up!

well being injured for like 3 quarters of last season probably never helped and the fact hes at his 3rd club in like 4 years probably means its takes longer for you to settle? who knows.

His first run of the afternoon was superb and the resulting cross was excellent - I think that gave him a massive confidence boost and he never looked back. Exeter panicked everytime he got the ball, towards the end they were double-teaming him (snigger) and even had a third backing up.

I liked the way the Town End asked him to 'give us a wave' - and he did, albeit a bit sheepishly, it was almost "Really? me? Seriously?"


Title: Re: Alan o'brien
Post by: DV on Saturday, January 29, 2011, 21:05:45
Home leg he went off after 86 minutes. He's played 3 full games for us

Home to Brentford this season, away to Hartlepool this season and today.

1-1, 2-2 and 0-0

He looks like a different player. Perhaps he has been subject to some hideous experiments by the town medical staff? If so, just get on with the programme for rest of them. This wont hurt Mr Dossevi, but you may feel a small prick.

He's been on Willie Carson's Horse Milk.

Post by: RedRag on Saturday, January 29, 2011, 22:49:42
AOB was looking to receive the ball in threatening/attacking positions today - whether through injury or lack of confidence or not having a good understanding with the left sided players I don't know.  The threat of the ball being played inside the full back for him to run on to or the passing to an already running AOB made all the difference.

Crossing was mixed but that too is an improvement.  The pace was frightening and for once threatening.

If we can build on this then that threat can help free other forwards, when or if they arrive

Well thought his work rate was brilliant yesterday,some lung bursting runs.
Put one on a plate for Dossevi....some of his crossing let him down but in the main did very well.

The fans got behind him...and just goes to show that hear at Swindon Town if the effort is put in it will be appreciated.
If he stays injury free it could be like getting a new signing..lets hope it continues.
