" TOMMY O'SULLIVAN/ALEX REVELL? "

I was just talking to some of the experienced City media reporters and they too were shocked that O'Sullivan can't get a place on the City bench?

Apparently All the City coaches are Raving about O'Sullivan who just received the Welsh young player of the year award.

I am led to believe Slade feels he spends to much time on the ball?

As to him going to Newport County bottom of the League Hmmmm?
Should of at least been a division higher in my opinion

Also it was mentioned Tommy O'Sullivan should be ahead of Alex Revell?
Both different players,but Revell going no where.


OPINIONS :thumbright:

I'm not sure how this can be a debate? The only experience O'Sullivan has had in the league is with Port Vale and he barely featured there. He's played a few cup games for us but that's all. Welsh U21 stage he's featured heavily. He is a CM

Alex Revell is a striker in his thirties, a lower league journeyman who hasn't got a lot of goals to his name for a striker.

You can't compare the two, maybe compare O'Keefe or Gunnar but not Revell?

Wez, your missing the point, I know ones a strike and the other a midfielder, I was saying who I would prefer to have on the bench as I feel Revell is virtually pointless having him there and O'Sullivan can at least put a bit of creativity in to the team :ayatollah:

Too much time on the ball - obviously a cardinal sin according to the Slade coaching manual!

Raving mad more likely
Not sure I like your idea of having more midfielders on the bench and no strikers :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

I like Revel on the bench, someone to use to give some energy upfront. Great if winning a game to defend from the front.

We have gunnar and okeefe ahead of him. Should have never have signed okeefe but as we have him may as well stay be available.

Whatever the reasons, I really must applaud the club for their new attitude to the fringe/reserve players. Any competitive league experience is better than reserve football. If he does well at Newport for a month, then maybe his next loan spell will be in a higher league

if that was the case we would have no strikers on the bench ,Tommy will benefit from having first team action just like ralls hopefully he will play every match

Re: " ALEX REVELL / TOMMY O'SULLIVAN "

Wed Oct 14, 2015 6:12 pm

To much time on the ball in sense of conceding possession so I think in league 2 bottom of the table where he wont have to much time on the ball will help him learn and to bring Revell in to it is just ludicrous.

Re: " ALEX REVELL / TOMMY O'SULLIVAN "

Wed Oct 14, 2015 6:49 pm

Possession this season as massively improved so load bolocks saying he's not in squad because he keeps Ball to much, as obviously team does keep Ball! As for coaches raving about him mmmmm so Slade is totally ignoring all other staff at club? More holes in this story than in a sieve!! :old:

Revell isn't a waste considering at the moment we only have Jones and Mason as our strikers, Ameobi can play there and I like him there but Revell is our only other out and out attacking option

I recently watched Barry town v risca in a match up at Ystrad mynach and was stood with two of the guys who were involved with the dvp squad and were assessing a couple of loan players at Barry! We got talking about the dvp side and they said that Tommy and Theo are leagues above anyone in the dvp squad and they were really Suprised that neither particularly Tommy has not been involved with the first team! They claim he was more than ready! Suppose he's going to get a months football but bottom of league two in my opinion is really not going to test his ability!

Always thought a lot of osullivan, seen him play a lot at dvp games. He offers something different to those mentioned above. More of an advanced midfielder...
Keeps the ball too much, I think you mean he doesn't give the ball away. Surely a possession based team would suit this kind of player.

That's exactly what I've been told he is way above DVP level :ayatollah: and our coaches have highly praised O'Sullivan to Slade :ayatollah:

So who do you want dropped for him to start
Or if on bench do you want gunner son dropped (thought you loved gunners ) you can't drop a foreward and leave us short up front
It's quite difficult when you have to choose isn't it :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:
