[biggey blade]

Was unbelievable tonight. everything that come his way he dealt with. MOM by a mile played brilliantly.

 

[Stretch]

I thought Coutts was MOM until last 20 minutes but agree JOC was immense all night. Wright was magnificent as well.

 

[Dalelane01]

Clean sheet excellant great performance all round

 

[silverfox]

JOC, Couts and Fleck.....awesome!

Yep. Spot on totally agree

 

[Bridge Blade]

Absolute class tonight.

And the bleedin football genius won me £56 first goalscorer, top lad

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Quality signing and has steadily improved all season. Think he can definitely step up next year if we go up.

Think Wright has been a big help on developing him. Along with basham and eel

He's been so good he is no longer underrated but a key signing and shows the difference between leadership and experience. The likes of Collins and mceverly brought experience from a higher division but no leadership or organisation hence why we're 6 seasons into this league

 

[Harry's Game]

When we revert to a back four for certain games next season JOC will prove himself one of the best left backs in The Championship.

I thought Fleck was really the only one we had capable of playing in the Premier League, may soon have to add JOC to the list.

 

[Iceybabey]

Quality player. I wonder if some still don't rate him?

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

And only 23

 

[Guesty]

Great for him to get the first goal after his mistake at their place too.

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

Quality player. I wonder if some still don't rate him?

And some silly fuckers want Jags back .

 

[Ricky]

Fantastic signing and a player you simply cannot fault in any way whatsoever.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

"When we revert to a back four for certain games next season JOC will prove himself one of the best left backs in The Championship".

Nah mate, he can fill in but he's a CB all day long.

Me too, £2, Sky Bet

 

[mattbianco1]

And only 23

Need to keep hold of him at that age. Got a good 7-10 years in him yet.. Captain in the making

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

My personal highlight of the season ;

JO'C clearing the ball off Morison by passing the ball to himself, galloping down the left side and putting in the cross which eventually landed to Freeman for the goal.

Desire + Technique perfectly combined.

Move him to LWB and bring in another CB I think our back 5 is set for the Championship.

And some silly fuckers want Jags back .

Do we only play with 1 centre half?

 

[Antonb]

He was awesome tonight, and just came in ahead of coutts for man of the match. We kind of lost midfield a little bit when Duffy went off though. Courthers is even worse than coutts for tackling!

 

[Bowman Blade]

The sponsors gave Fleck MOM, but Jack O'C was the man for me. Immense in defence, scored 1 and made 1 with his sheer determination..

 

[PokerBlade]

Got to credit Wright again. It can't be a coincidence how much better organised we look with him in the side. O'Connel was the one who stood out though. At times looked like an old fashioned role of letting him stay free to attack every high ball, and then when he had it down at his feet he looked like a classy modern defender. All round class act tonight. Definitely my MOTM.

 

[Digger]

He has been in fine form for quite a while. He's aggressive and reads the game so well.
Great turn into space second half and a 50 yard ball that nearly got Billy in.
He is the one I would miss most. Honourable mentions for Fleck and Coutts and Basham and Keiron the goal king Freeman.
And Jake Wright and my mam.
It's great to be a Blade!.
COYRAWW!!!!

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

JOC MOM QED. Magnificent tonight.

Bash towards the end though, flinging himself in there with the vital blocks when it got a bit panicky. And Jake Wright, nuff said.

Proper leaders at the back now.

 

[Antonb]

a mention to Hanson tonight who gave there defence a game tonight, his best game for a little while.

 

[HillmortonBlade]

Have to agree, especially first half.. and without wanting to sound barmier than usual.. he defended from the front, hassling and harrying and putting pressure on their defence. A lot of running around, with purpose.

 

[UnitedBlade]

JOC superb tonight.

 

[biggey blade]

HillmortonBlade I totally agree with that comment. Thought Hanson did really well first half tonight and really put him self about and made it a hard job for their defenders. He made it a nightmare for them the first half despite both of there CB's been taller than him, fadded a bit in the second half but overall a decent performance from him.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Thought Fleck was a bit off it today, Coutts shades it over JOC for MOTM.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

I agree with JOC being MOM but Wright is up there with him in my opinion. So much of what he does goes a bit unnoticed but the number of times when we were under pressure he intercepted or blocked was immense. How Oxford thought he couldn't play at this level god only knows. Egg on someone's face ...... must be that progressive future England manager they have!
