Robbored Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Orr was very good today.In fact, I would go as far as to say its the best I've seen him play in a City shirt.He at last seemed to know what he was doing unlike when he plays in midfield.Right back looks to be his best position.He linked well with Cotterill and I reckon he could Carey out of the side - and guess what? no aimless hoofs up the pitch except when he was clearing the ball.What a revelation......

citygal17 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 i agree with you robbered! I have always rated Bradley but now this is his place and i think he will have a successful season playing at right back and i think hes better than Jamie Smith and Louis Carey! (well so far!) and all i can say is well done city! the only way is up now! C.T.I.D!Sarah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Orr is someone that various people on here seem to have decided it's ok to continuously slag off in the past.Well to me the first thing you want from a professional footballer is 100% commitment and I've never seen him give anything less, next you need fitness and if anyone at AG is as fit as him I'll be surprised. I'll accept that on occasions his radar has been a bit faulty with his passing, but he's still young and inexperienced.I saw him at RB for the reserves at Rovers last season and he was miles better than anyone else on the pitch and when you add his height and strength to the equation, at this level he's easily good enough to play there.Best of luck to you, lad. I'm sure you won't let us down if you're given a run there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest routabout Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 As I've said before on more than one occasion, Bradley Orr is a great raw talent, with a fantastic work ethic and more enthusiasm to perform well, than some of our so called 'die hard' past players. I think he's also proving his adaptability and given the right coaching and encouragement, I see him becoming a cracking utility player for us.He might make his mark at right back, which won't be a bad thing if that keeps Hoofer Carey out of the side, but I think more importantly, he's going to be able to fill in the central midfield roles and possibly anywhere across the back. Again, I've mentioned before that a skeleton squad, as our finances dictate we operate, only works with a fair smattering of decent to good utility players. I think we've just found the first of those, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire_redz Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Gary J has realised in two minutes what Tinnion didn't realise in a long, long time:-Bradley Orr is not a midfielder!Has the ability to be a top class defender in my opinion - just wait till we get the top quality coaches in!

Nibor Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 I have slagged Orr off as a midfielder for his ability - never doubted his commitment. I'd be delighted if he looks comfortable at right back, I just didn't think his control or passing was anywhere near what is needed in midfield.To be honest he ain't going to find it hard to keep Carey out of the team.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've just found the first of those, don't you?I said in a post some two or three weeks ago that Brad would prove to be a very good player, he has the ability to play in most positions, its good to see that others see this in him also. Over time he will silence his many critics with his ability, loyalty and work ethics and will continue to put in some good solid performances when called upon.

stick Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 i agreei think Bradley Orr is a better right back than midfielderdone well when i have seen him play therebeen dissapointed with Carey this season so far, but to be fair, he was being played in different defensive positions every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Bradley and Cotterill were class. Orr has some very neat touches and showed some great compusure. Although monster matty marshalled him through - i thought he played very well today as well.My only problem is that Cotterill does not know how to defend, and that did leave Orr slightly exposed.

wesco Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 if you remember Orr played right back in the second half at Chesterfield away last season and played very well. I was a little surprised he wasn't tried their again but perhaps that is Tinnions tactics for you. I'm pleased he is doing well but totally agree that he is not a midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Faith Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I have slagged Orr off as a midfielder for his ability - never doubted his commitment. I'd be delighted if he looks comfortable at right back, I just didn't think his control or passing was anywhere near what is needed in midfield.To be honest he ain't going to find it hard to keep Carey out of the team.NiborThese are my sentiments exactly. After the game away at Swindon last season where I thought he was one of our best (if not best) players as the right side of a back three I have been convinced he would make an excellent defender. He also had some good performances in defence at other times in the season and I really hope he is a success at right back.I am really not a Carey fan (certainly not at right back) and the same with Smith.

Guest Frank Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 He sure did play there after Smith was sent off and put in a superb performance, many said at the time that he was a natural RB and could go some in that position. I'm sure he played there in one other game last season but can't remember which game.It was obvious from that game that he had found his true position. He's precisely the sort of player Johnson will like. Committed, fit and willing to learn - the same reasons Tinnion signed him. I can see him featuring heavily from here on.

I like Orrs committment yes hes still young and very raw but with Johnson coaching him I think he will come good. Lets hope hes at right back tomorrow evening.

Waffleflap Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Its nice to finally see him in his best postion.I'm chuffed to bits for the lad and long may it continue if he keeps playing well.Carey has been having a poor season and orr fully deserves to keep his place.
