[Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

Good post, kind of where I am.

Getting better, but his off the ball work is not the best, and yesterday just seemed to lack enough confidence to shoot, and was keener to ‘pass’. Hopefully, he’ll improve and the games are helping.

Hoping with a good preseason he’ll kick on.

My preference though, would also be Buononotte.

I think yesterday was one of his weaker games but agree there’s a lot about him to like. Notably, his ability to pop up in great scoring positions. Could do with being a bit stronger and encouraged to show more tenacity at times. Hoping he’ll stay injury free and have more influence next season.

Thought he started game well but then went missing for a lot of the rest of game.

I thought Matt improved again today. Seems to be getting a little better each game. Sweet left foot and always looks to make things happen.
A good pre-season and we may see a very good player for 25/26.

My thoughts entirely. He was very good playing for a Championship level team in a pretty bang average league but is intelligent and fast enough to step up to the EPL.
I think the pace and intensity has somewhat flummoxed him, but as you say, a good pre season and he may well bring another different dimension to the team for next season.

I think he will be fine. He'll never be a top talent like some which will mean he'll not be off. He seems a good squad player and will contribute significantly over the season. Got the winner against City didn't he?

As he gets more game time he'll improve a bit.

With the injuries and substitutions in the game these days teams need players like him. Wholehearted who always give 100 per cent and who can be a threat.

Very odd reaction from him post match imo
