Why does he keep doing this???  It's not like Senior isn't fit!?  I don't understand it I really don't!?!?!?!?!?

The only thing I can think of is for height. But I'm with you on that

Sounds like O'Neil did well to create the chance for Robbie

Yeah I know but if it's for height why doesn't he start O Neill with Senior or Col??  Senior is far more dangerous than O Neill!!!!!!!!!

Fresh legs and a different attacking option

I'd rather have a tired Senior on the pitch than a fully fit O Neill, hopefully he'll make me eat my words and notch one now!

"O'Neil causing havoc down the left hand side"

and "Has made a nuisance of himself"  Good call by GH maybe!

No chance there he's not even on the bench what we see and what GH see's is something different

Don't like knocking any of our players, but I do wish Joe would 'put himself about' a bit more in the opposition's penalty area, sometimes he seems reluctant to commit himself to the possibility of actually getting into a scoring position. I've always thought that he looks a better player than his stats would suggest. Likewise, I wish Stuart would start coming off his line for crosses, because it puts the fear of God into me when he just stays on his line all the time! Having said all this, it sounds like the pair of them had fabulous games today, especially Stuart, so that puts me in my place! Roll on Woking!

There was a point late in today's game where a ball was played to where O'Neill could/should have been. The radio commentators said he simply hadn't made the run the passed (JJ I think) was expecting.
Maybe shows JJ has a better footballing brain, but Joe had not put himself into the space.

But surely if a left back can see a run to be made, it should be painstakingly obvious to a center forward. Not knocking Joe because he has been a good servant to alty, but maybe not quite the sharpest knife in the box

Some footballers have, they say, a footballers brain and can think half a yard ahead of others; Sheringham is a case in point where he was slow on the ground, but ahead of his defender because of his footballing brain. Call it instinct: some have it and others don't.

I suspect JJ has a very promising future, which may be a shame as it means he may not want to move to Moss Lane permanently.
