Shane O'Connor interview 11:07 - Sep 9 with 2292 viewswellhungphil

Since there's not much happening what with the international break, loan windows closed and no camels spotted carrying Arabs and gold towards the Suffolk sands, I thought I'd share this article from the42.ie giving a few insights into Shane's time at Portman Road.

Good read. Another perspective on the Keane era.

Really enjoyed reading this - thanks for posting. I always looked him when he was with us. Always liked Keane too! Shame it didn't work.

Cheers for that. Very interesting!

Obviously, there's the insight into Keane's time here and how that high-demand approach can alienate a lot of players. There are parallels now and it seems particularly vital for Hurst's squad management to get wins to balance the extra demands in games and on the training pitch.

Also fascinating to see the effect a lack of confidence has on a player. Seems incredible that a highly trained and talented player starts forgetting how to do stuff or feeling like he's lost 50% of his ability.

Ah, that wonderful Irish lyricism...

Thanks for sharing that. What a great read.

Really good illustration of the challenges that players have. They may be paid more than the average man on the street, they may have a job that most of us would give everything to have, but they still have doubts about themselves and their ability that can cause their lives and careers to unravel. Fascinating piece.

Seems like a few things didn't go Shane's way, including some injuries & he did seem half decent in his time at Town. However, Jewell going with older players like Mark Kennedy was a big turning point in our decline.
