O'Callaghan was not decent, he just stood on the half way line and passed the ball side ways.

Are you sure you was watching the right player
He was'nt outstanding but what he done I thought he done well, He got stuck in a few times, made himself available and had a good range of passing. He does'nt look fully match fit yet but once he is I think he'll be a good player for us.

Birchall signed and can partner Livermore in the middle of midfield, now we just need Robson-Kanu and Demontagnac down the wings to complete the dream midfield and supply the AMMO for Murray and Forster

Exactly. Unbelievable how overrated O'Callaghan was by people on here.

That would be IMMENSE! What happened about Ismael's trial at Charlton, is he still there or his he still sans club?
you all know vitgo will be central mid tomorrow so i wouldn't get too excited. it doesn't really matter much who we sign, adams has so clearly lost his touch he'll mismanage them anyway. why has the adams out stuff stopped on here? you seem to be forgetting his work over the first half of the season.
for what's its worth i think it could be a good signing. i just don't think a player like birchall will be utalised properly. correct me if i'm wrong but didn't he play central mid for port vale and T&T but on the right wing for cov under adams? well then what we have here is another one in the squad who mickey will play in the wrong position and made to look bad thanks to his boss.

correct. He was shit, it's only because he had a "massive" argument with Dick Knight that everyone thinks he must be amazing.

Micky has hinted intodays paper that because we are so short of players for the Leeds game that "We have to slot people into positions they are perhaps not used to or as comfortable with"
Is that not what has been happening all season anyway?

not in Micky's eyes my friend

Could be a useful addition, and wise move only giving him 6 months.

The sort of answer that I expected. Good players all three! BUT you actually have to win the ball and close down opponents as well. Players who do that are not doing f all are they?

I will wait to see him play a few games before saying whether it is good or bad.

having watched the game too, he didnt impress me too much, but it was a heavy pitch and his second game in two days.
I reckon he could one of those players that you dont really notice playing, does a fair bit and you dont realise it until he is not playing

I guess it is fair to say that you cannot judge a player just on one game..
I s'pose the facts are that he is an experienced player at both domestic and international level and MA knows him and what he is capable of doing.
And lets face it, (In no relation to Birchalls ability), we don't actually need and cannot afford outstanding players at the moment. Just players that can hold their own and not throw the game away to keep us in League 1.
If we can achieve that in this transfer window then I guess its job done for MA this season. (Not very ambitious I know, but for now thats all that is necessary..)
