He was right - Baker was crap when he signed for us and his attitude in the Championship was a disaster and unlike JOB wouldn't even get in the squad in this team
He is arguing that SP was right to choose JOB over Baker.
Which happened when we're in league one.
Their contrasting seasons that season.
Puts an instant end to the debate TBF.
However he won't give up.
He will keep trying
Well and on the career stats.
And on whether JOB was a better choice than Baker by SP.
But apart from that he has been bang in the money in this debate.
Actually he scored 3 goals in the league all season - not 2 - and wasn't even top scorer - its 3 in 25 games and form has improved since his injury
He is still injured!
I mean MK Dons form has improved since his departure - big surprise - frankly arguing over a players merits with someone who mocked me for saying Chris Hussey was tripe is rather a forlorn task
To be fair I would try and change the subject after this pummelling as well. Don't blame you.
The loan move is the right one by the sounds. Not sure why he moved back to Barnsley? Doesn't sound as committed as his frantic running looks.http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sp...coventry-citys-jim-obrien-instigated-10901685
Mowbray on O'Brien loan..
Pummelling? From who? You are clueless and have weird fixations about players who are shit;
McDonald, Baker, Hussey, Haynes
I don't get that, he moved back to Barnsley knowing he works in Coventry and is unhappy with the commute?
Subject change again
You said career stats show JOB is better than Baker
They don't - they do
You said SP was right to choose JOB over Baker. - he was
He wasn't Baker had an amazing season and got promoted. - Baker was not the main factor in that
He is now very valued in the division above JOB moved to Scunthorpe on loan - he will be released in the summer. Struggling to get games in our team. - according to Mowbray he'd have started in two of the next three games
I like JOB but he is not a better player than Baker. He's a much better TEAM player
“I pick a team to try to win a match and if Jim is not prepared to be part of the group and has to sit on the bench sometimes, what should I do? If he comes to me and says he wants to move on loan, what are my options?
“For me, as a coach, I need a team that is 100 per cent with us all the time. The group has to be strong and positive and his personality isn’t that sort of lad where he accepts not playing without grumbling or being unhappy.”
“I don’t mind unhappy players as long as they are professional on the training ground and work hard and get on with it. You are allowed to be disappointed if you are not picked but he’s not the only one who has to sit on the bench.
“Gael Bigirimana can’t even get in the 18 at the minute, never mind sit on the bench, and yet he gets on with it and trains hard and works hard.
He was getting unhappy and you have to understand Jim’s personality as well. It’s a strong personality and if he’s not playing and unhappy it can have repercussions
Basically O'Brien was acting like a stroppy teenager so Mowbray shipped him out. I guess O'Brien is happier losing every week as long as he plays, surprised his mate Pressley wasn't in for him to bring him to Fleetwood.
Oh dear, he won't be happy with that. Expect him to be on the move tomorrow.JOB on the bench for Scunny at Millwall tonight.
Before Christmas many were staying JOB should be the first name on the team sheet, but now I'm hearing 'we don't need him' and 'in Mowbray we trust'.
The biggest downfall with Mowbray (there isn't many I know, and he's the best manager we've had for as long as I can remember) is his team selection and substitutions. He has favourites such as MAF, Murphy and then his not so favourites JOB, Lameiras.
In my opinion JOB has been unfairly frozen out of the team, especially in the last few months and now has decided he wants to move on. I can't really blame him, because despite what's being said in the press now the door's closed, he's one of our most committed players when he puts the shirt on.
It's a perfect scenario for Mowbray because now not only does he not have to play him, but he isn't under pressure from fans when he doesn't either. Sounds a very blunt thing to say though, I know.
His quotes when he realised the public were against him were reminiscent of Pressley actually.
I expected a lot better from him.
So, he was unhappy. And like has been said, he wanted to play every week and TM said he can't guarantee that and sees him as a squad player.Sorry - don't agree. Think it's a mistake. He is pretty flexible and no one knows if he's happy or not.
At also seems odd that people are critical of his lack of discipline yet he was a pivotal player when we were at our performance peak. It's really hard to believe Hunt is going to be a better fit from what we have seen of him.
Mistake in my view that has no benefit at all. We'd have been better not signing Hunt and not wasting time and I assume money on Bigiamara.
Yep. Think JOB may well have gone to TM saying he wants first team football and TM has said he can't guarantee that.
Doesn't every player want that?

Why would he lie?Well Mowbray says he's unhappy - we all must trust Mowbray......
Is JOB better than Maddison, Cole or Murphy?
Yes he can do a job sometimes, but he surely can't expect to be an automatic start.
Hopefully Hunt gets his arse in gear, see him as JOB with a bit more guile
Why would he lie?
It all makes perfect sense. JOB wants to play every week, TM couldn't guarantee that, JOB lives in Barnsley.
Can't see there is any conspiracy theory here and it is what it is.
TM has also said he would have picked JOb for some games. It just seems clear that JOB wants to be playing every single game and probably expects to be playing every game.
At one point here most of us would have agreed that he was undroppable.
Well why else would he leave?Well Mowbray says he's unhappy - we all must trust Mowbray......
Well why else would he leave?
If it Mowbrays idea for him to leave why wold he come out and say he planned to start him in upcoming games.
Are you pretending to know something we dont?So you'd believe him?
