I'll put my hand up and say I was totally unconvinced in the early stages of his start with us.
He looked unfit, and far too inconsistent.
What a transformation! He's now got a good engine, his link up play with Colwill in particular is a joy to watch.
He seems to only know one way to play, and that is forward.
He's obviously worked hard on his game.
Well done Ollie Tanner!
He's getting better and better every game; he has earned his starting place and I now think he's one of our main men.Quote:

Colwill needs players who are looking to get forward as soon as he's on the ball and those players need someone like Colwill to find them.Quote:

He needs to give El Ghazi some tips on driving into the box with confidence. El Ghazi seems to have lost all the attributes to scare defences, he’s a much better player than he’s showing.
Fairly recently I didn't think he was good enough for this level, very happy to be wrong
Rubin Colwill has finally grown up :biggrin:
Another great effort with his right foot today, not sure where that has come from all of a sudden
Tanner can turn on a sixpenceQuote:

Ollie looks the typical confidence player, when things are going well, when the manager believes in him, when he is relaxed, he is a very good baller, we all can see he loves getting the ball down and running at players ( which defenders hate ) a player to excite
when he 1st came, I said he will grow into a special player, he is certainly on fire at the mo
Left footiers are usually all left foot I’ve found, but he does have a good strike with his right, with his goal at Bristol and chance today. Defenders can’t just show him outside, he can go either way and hurt you.Quote:

He’s always had that ability but my concern is whether he can keep it going if he’s playing three Championship games a week.
I’ve been critical of Tanner as he seems to have that natural ability, but I questioned whether he has the hunger to succeed at this level?Quote:

It really is up to him!!
Guilty as charged. Happy to be proven wrong on this one.
I don't know if it's telepathy or the coach telling Ollie that he must provide an option for Ruben every time he's in possession.Quote:

I love his positive desire to drive down that wing.
I'm excited by that understanding he and Colwill have developed.
I'm thrilled by the nature of his goals.
His connection with the fans is genuine.
He still seems a little raw and rough around the edges with regards to his awareness and final pass/cross (Josh Low anyone), but all of that can be worked on.
I really hope he gets a lengthy run in the team to improve further.
He’s been allowed to do more of what he’s good at but I’m still not convinced it’s nothing more than a purple patch
Purely because of how bad he was just a few months ago
When will he be playing 3 Championship games a week?Quote:

Admittedly, I’m getting older and dumber by the day so wouldn’t be surprised if I’m wrong.
Glad you're not surprised. That is 3 games in 8 days.Quote:

I think Tanner has to keep on top of his lifestyle
If he does then he's still a young guy and is easily good enough to play at this level and cause plenty of problems
He's like colwill in that he's unpredictable which is great but I think he's a bit more enigmatic so needs to be used wisely with good management
That's still a lot for a player that can be unpredictableQuote:

Apologise.
This is an all time low for me on this board.
Great win yesterday though.
Kin hell mate , this is just the beginning of a journey into despairQuote:
