[MOZZER2]

I notice gets very little recognition or debate on here it seems

A very basic question

I,m on the fence

Re: Ollie Tanner

I'm expecting him to have a much better season.

Re: Ollie Tanner

If he gets free rein to play as a winger, I don’t see why not. He should do well.

Re: Ollie Tanner

I'm comparing him to the lad we had on loan from Leicester - beat his man, then beat him again, turned left, then right, and then had to beat him a 3rd time. No genuine pace, just a nippy winger who flatters to deceive. Tanner probably isn't as good with the ball but he has genuine pace and given game time hopefully will do well for us in league one.

The thing with a player like Tanner is that he does the same things whether they're working or not. Most of the time it doesn't come off, when it does then it looks really good, and we all seemingly get our gold fish brains into gear in forgetting all the times he's looked clueless. Will he 'Smash it' in some games, for a portion of time, yes, but for the best part, no in my opinion. He's not the brightest in possession.

Re: Ollie Tanner

Like many of our players too good for league one too crap for championship. I don’t rate tanner.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this of Alves. Very underwhelming for all of the hype.

I believe he will be very good for us this season

Re: Ollie Tanner

Tanner needs to concentrate on playing football rather than waving his arms like a windmill at the crowd. He was poor last season and had some dreadful games.

I am not sure what "smash it" means but I would hope he makes an impact in the third flight, but it isn't an easy division and application is required.

Re: Ollie Tanner

If he played consistently at the level he is capable, he would be a very good championship player but he only plays well in one in every five games which isn’t good enough for a team with promotion ambitions. The fact that he was dropped from the squad by Bulut because of being a negative influence also would concern me.

Re: Ollie Tanner

I don't think he'll smash it but I think he'll be decent

Re: Ollie Tanner

He is good cutting in and shooting. I have always liked him

Re: Ollie Tanner

Smashing it for me means 15 goals / assists minimum.

I don't think he'll smash it.

Me too. He seemed to tangle himself up in knots quite often without actually getting anywhere. He's got some skills but not the match experience, which is why young players like that get sent on loan. In a couple of years though he could be decent.

Re: Ollie Tanner

Pity he couldn't play against Josh Tymon every week.
