Collis Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Top lad.Played with his heart on his sleeve and a credit to the club. He has been converted from arguably being the worst player in our squad to one of the best.Lets just hope his central midfield days are behind him!Your a right back Brad!

And Its Smith Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Bradley Orr reminds me of Matt Hill in that every time Hill had the ball at his feet I was scared that an opposition goal was only seconds away.I can see that he loves the club but come on, he's average at best.

cider11 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 When i saw matt hill the other week against Wolves, he was really good, cleared the ball of the line 2 times before wolves scored, his distribution has improved a lot aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see another poster says that his distribution has improved and fair play to him. Players do improve around better coaches and other players. Could never question Hill's pace, tackling, heading and decent positioning.It like when crosses used to go in when we had Phillips in goal, panic stations. Orr isnt great on the ball and if he doesnt get better I don't see how he can play in The Championship if we do get there.............IF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffer Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Sorry to say this, because i am a really positive city fan, but Orr is the worst player in our squad and i am amazed he still gets a game. Yes he runs his socks off and seems to love this club, but he is nothing short of awful on the ball. He gives it away every time he has it and his defensive qualities were again exposed during a disasterous first 5 mins, first for a header accross goal which led to commons' free kick, then the goal.I think we have a cracking side and i'll be at every game till the end of the year, but the quicker we replace this 'trier' the better.

Can you honestly he is a worse player then Woodman, or Fontaine for example?He is in the team on merit, and barring any drastic circumstances he will continue to play in the first team. I can't recall any moments on the pitch where he has really let us down and defensively I think he is a decent prospect. He proved yesterday that he can be an asset going forwards as well.His distribution is below par but that will improve with confidence and the more games he gets under his belt.Oh yes, he is also apart of a winning team and I truly believe that his passion and personality have been a driving force in our successful away form over the past few months.

I bet you cannot name me another poorer player, which is obviously a good thing!!As i said, it's great to see someone go through the wall for the team but i do not believe he will cut it is the championship. Keogh and Wilson at right back would be acres ahead of him in my opinion.I think your point is valid when you say he hasn't really let us down, but i believe we should aim higher. I don't want to knock him, i just felt the praise he gets is over the top for a player with little ability and very poor distribution. I am still certain of promotion though........

I bet you cannot name me another poorer player, which is obviously a good thing!!I think Fontaine's distribution has been as equally poor as Orr's. Despite probably being slightly better defensively. JMc at left back is a far superior player then Fontaine and it will be interesting to see if LF stays in the side when JMc is ready to go.As i said, it's great to see someone go through the wall for the team but i do not believe he will cut it is the championship.

He is giving it is all for our club so try and show some encouragement rather then knocking him.

Robbored Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Orr makes up for his lack of ability with his 100% performances and committment.No doubt he's a trier and he compensates well but if we make it into the Championship I can see him being very exposed unless he improves during the close season.A classic example of his lack of finesse - in the first half out right between the the Forest 18yrd box and the touchline.The ball comes out to him and City have four players in the box and Orr overhits the cross by about 20 yards straight out for a goalkick..Very poor effort.He does things like too often imo.Players can get away with limited abilty in the third and fourth divsions but not higher up.

Gaffer Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Without a doubt McAllister will come back in at left back, i think he has looked a cut above this level at times and will surely join our long line of cracking left backs! Barnard, Bell, Brennan etc.Collis mate, i do show a lot of encouragement towards the players at all times, however i think this is the correct format to debate the merit of our players. You will never hear me shout at our boys, or over react and boo them. As a manager myself i know the importance confidence plays at any level, that's why we all want to contribute towards a great atmosphere at the gate. I'll behind Orr as long as he's in the side, whatever my opinion.Grebbo, i deliberately stated only Orr was a 'trier', and said we have 'a cracking side' so i do not wish to change the rest of this talented squad!! :goingup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collis Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Forgotten about Northampton then???I was thinking about that as I wrote my original post. We still got 3 points in that game so it never really went down as a massive let down, it was completely brushed under the carpet and most City fans respected him for coming on TV after.Had it of cost us points then I would have been the first to criticise him, but he was lucky.

Portishead Red Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Rocky, I just can't believe some of the responses to your initial post. For all those that would slate Bradley Orr - he IS an improving player who will, undoubtedly, get better. He scored the goal yesterday to save a point for us. Lee Johnson was last month's victim of much slating from some on this forum and now it's Bradley Orr that's the current whipping boy judging by some of the responses on here. :noexpression: Get real folks, we're second top in the division and not second bottom thanks to the likes of Lee Johnson and Bradley Orr !!!!!!! Up the CityAgree 100%.Johnson is by far and away the fittest bloke at the club and gets through an untold ammount of running. Orr WILL make it in the championship purely cos he is YOUNG and hungry for it.If we had 11 player of Orr's attitude and spirit we would walk this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megansdad Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 don't think orr could be blamed for the first goal - He held up their winger until Betsy put in a tackle, which had it been stronger would have finished the move - winger then produced a good bit of skill and an excellent cross, which on another day Carey might have cut out.Orr kept his head for the goal and was in the right place to score it- seems totally committed and while he misplaces his passes sometimes has been much better at right back in what has been a solid defence- he ahs played his fair part in getting us to where we are and deserves better than he gest on here sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CheltenhamCityFan Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I agree, for a player that professes to be a midfielder he has very poor distribution. His goal yesterday disguiseda very average performance.Agree with the point re Orr supposed to have been a midfielder - he sometimes looks very awkward with the ball at his feet.I don't think we can call his performance yesterday average. I think he was partly to blmae for the goal as was Betsy and as was Carey. However he and Betsy bossed the right flank all afternoon and IMO he won more than his fairshare of tackles and interceptions down the right hand side...

Loderingo Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Bradley Orr is a great bloke and to see him almost blast the back out of the Notts SCABs' goalnet was delightful. Another highlight of yesterday's game for me was Louis Carey pushing the moaning and whinging Grant Holt's nose down in the dirt. When Holt got up, looking rather shaken, he also got treated to shouts of "Cheating Notts SCAB !!!!". Sorry why are they SCABs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boltsy Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 thanks to the criminality of what is widely recognised as the most corrupt and class based criminal justice system in Western Europe. No way did Bradley Orr or any of our other players deserve to be sent to prison. Shame on the corrupt Police, corrupt Crown Prosecution Service and the corrupt judge for sending our players to prison for what was no more than a community service punishable offence.you do make me chuckle....
