Fair enough I say. Yes he's looked useless but who didn't amongst the total chaos that was Kean's team ? Trust Appleton's judgment, give him another chance and he might, and I say 'might', just come good. If not he'll have to go.

Orr is back for one reason - the Venkys wont supply cash for investment in good sound players, only freebies/loans on cheap wages - in other words make do with what youv'e got - Orr may be a good 'joker' in the dressing room but has done nothing to prove he is a 'good player on the field'!!

Hi Dave, I've been one of Venkys biggest critics this last couple of years and have noted their reluctance to spend and to do things on the cheap. I just thought give Orr another chance and he might come good. Hope so.

Yeah Dave, again you sprouting your mouth off! Could you play right back? I bet not! Like people have said already, let him have a chance to prove himself in a more solid team with Appletons rules and pre-match talks etc. You never know, if he has got time to shine (as appleton obviously thinks he does), then give him that chance. If he makes too many mistakes then I'm quite sure Appleton will see that and make his OWN decision to ship him on his way! Just stop being so negative all the time... And get yourself down to a rovers game so you can actually comment on rovers players and their performances! DANGEROUS DAVE OUT RTID

It just goes to prove what we all suspected.

They know nowt!

It could just be that the 'moaners' are running short of things to moan about now that there is actually some good news coming out of Ewood.

Surely, they can't all be Dingles - can they?

I mist be watching a different game to most of you. Bradley Orr was actually very good against Bristol City. What he did well was, running forward beyond half way, and rather than doing what the Olsson's do (run into a corner and lose it), he played it in to feet, either inside or up to the striker - I was actually very impressed with his passing, which he hit hard in to feet, rather than lofted in and around Rhodes.

What game was appleton watching on Saturday then? Orr was culpable for thier attack where they hit the post, which was 1/3 of the chances they had that day. He wasn't terrible but he's not the quality we require @ ewood.

Anybody saying that he's a poor player at this level needs to get themselves down to Specsavers. Either that or just stop judging players on last season's performances. Orr has been a solid player in the Championship all season, for us and Ipswich. If you don't agree perhaps you should check both teams stats and compare results when Orr has and hasn't been in the team.

I know everybody is entitled to their opinion but it seems to be the same people slating Orr who are still slating Dann, despite both playing well this season. It's glaringly obvious that people are still judging both based on last season's performances.

My opinion of Orr as a footballer is that he does not read the game very well. This would be less of an issue if he had the pace to recover from frequently being out of position in open play. Those who rate him often quote his desire to overlap, which can be eye catching, but this does not excuse his poor positional awareness when defending. He makes poor choices regarding when to get tight and when to back off and provides very little cover for the centre halves.

I watched him on TV earlier this season, playing for Ipswich in this league and he was directly at fault for at least 3 of the goals they conceded.

On what I've seen on the pitch I rate Hanley and Lowe as quicker and more effective defenders.

I'm not a pro footballer sorry. Although I played ice hockey for Blackburn as a left winger up till last season and was top goal scorer. So A) I know what being part of a team is all about and how one team can bring out a better side than another... And B) I know what having a good manager can change massively in a team.

Problem is dave, you site there ranting all your cr@p day in day out about something that you seemingly know very little about and it makes you sound a right t1t... Seriously, I'm saying this for your own good!

Hi SRVP The facts are that he is an average player at best compared to what we have had even back as far as Hird Bailey etc No Pace Offers what any AVERAGE right back would, is that good enough for us with our supposed ambitions.

Gary Neville had no pace, it didn't make him a bad right-back. Before you say anything, no, I'm not comparing Orr to Neville. I'm just pointing out that you don't need pacy full-backs when you have decent attacking players in front of you. Irregardless of pace, Orr still manages to get balls into the box and has done since he arrived.

In case it escaped your notice, we are an average side these days. I'd rather have Orr in the side than Henley, he may be quick but, like Martin Olsson on the other flank, he's not a great full-back and would be better utilised on the wing.

What game was that then? Please don't say the drubbing Ipswich received at the hands of Leicester in Orr's first game, I've already had to point out to somebody else before that it simply wasn't the case.

Clearly you know it was, goals coming from his being out of position and exposed as lacking pace even at championship level. So we have different opinions on this, no big deal, personally I'd be happy if he improved and had some good games for us, just not my idea of a good defender.

What was he supposed to do? Do his talking on the pitch maybe? Instead we have an average pro, who likes to talk the talk but can't walk the walk. He can't keep his gob shut, so instead of keeping quiet and sussing out the lay of the land first when he joined, he starts spouting nonsense about kean. He really didn't know which way the wind was blowing, and got it totally wrong. He made his bed right there. Appleton says he's infectious, but he's just a scouse gob sh***

Hi Dave, I've been one of Venkys biggest critics this last couple of years and have noted their reluctance to spend and to do things on the cheap. I just thought give Orr another chance and he might come good. Hope so.

Yeah Dave, again you sprouting your mouth off! Could you play right back? I bet not! Like people have said already, let him have a chance to prove himself in a more solid team with Appletons rules and pre-match talks etc. You never know, if he has got time to shine (as appleton obviously thinks he does), then give him that chance. If he makes too many mistakes then I'm quite sure Appleton will see that and make his OWN decision to ship him on his way!

Just stop being so negative all the time... And get yourself down to a rovers game so you can actually comment on rovers players and their performances!

Anybody saying that he's a poor player at this level needs to get themselves down to Specsavers. Either that or just stop judging players on last season's performances. Orr has been a solid player in the Championship all season, for us and Ipswich. If you don't agree perhaps you should check both teams stats and compare results when Orr has and hasn't been in the team. I know everybody is entitled to their opinion but it seems to be the same people slating Orr who are still slating Dann, despite both playing well this season. It's glaringly obvious that people are still judging both based on last season's performances.

What was he supposed to do? Do his talking on the pitch maybe? Instead we have an average pro, who likes to talk the talk but can't walk the walk. He can't keep his gob shut, so instead of keeping quiet and sussing out the lay of the land first when he joined, he starts spouting nonsense about kean. He really didn't know which way the wind was blowing, and got it totally wrong. He made his bed right there. Appleton says he's infectious, but he's just a scouse gob sh***

Would you bad mouth your boss to the media?

No I wouldn't, clearly that wouldn't be good. The point I was making, in case you missed it, was Orr put himself into that position by courting the media right from the off. I lost count of the "quotes" from him and thought why does he think we are interested? Better to get your head down at your new club, put in some good performances, get the fans onside. It would've been OK if he'd been able to walk the walk, but he couldn't. Instead he made himself look foolish, and got people's backs up. Maybe he'll learn this time around
