Callum O’Hare has been a massive hit with Coventry City fans since joining on loan from Aston Villa began in the summer.

Possessing fantastic ability on the ball, great awareness and an eye for a killer pass, O’Hare has aspects to his game that the majority of players in League One can only dream of.

It took the young midfielder less than 15 minutes to make an immediate impact on the Sky Blue Army, with a mazy run at Watford in the league cup.

Despite firing wide, it was clear Robins had brought in a special talent. He has continued to show the qualities the 3,000-strong City fans were able to catch a glimpse of against higher level opponents.

The confidence to take the ball under pressure is untold, driving at defenders with a low centre of gravity and using his surprising strength to keep hold of the ball, the English attacking midfielder is showing great potential

Starting 14 of his 26 appearances so far, the 21-year-old has chipped in with three goals and two assists. It's his link up play, however, behind the forwards that has impressed the most.

So many fans like myself are asking the question, why is he sitting on the bench?

In recent weeks the midfield diamond Mark Robins has settled on has resulted in O’Hare being used off the bench as an impact sub. Midfield duo of Liam Kelly and Liam Walsh are vital to the style of play and formation so there are no questions over the pair starting.

Having hit form with Zain Westbrook and Jordan Shipley occupying the final two midfield slots, Callum is currently being made to wait for his chance to break back into Mark Robins’s starting eleven.

Although the on-loan Villa midfielder will be wanting to start every game, he hasn’t complained and is yet to feature in a game where he has failed to make an impact. Most notably changing the game away at Tranmere after a period of intense Rovers' pressure, O’Hare got a vital assist for Matty Godden’s second of the day and also won the penalty that sealed the three points.

The attacker has given Robins and his coaching staff a huge headache over how he is best used. Would it disrupt current form bringing him into the starting xi? Is he too good for the bench? How can a player of his quality only get half an hour every week?

Fans are divided with many wanting O’Hare to have more of a say in performances. Many feel he is far too good when coming off the bench for the last 25/30 minutes, simply being too good and clever for league one defenders.

The other side to the coin is that Callum is probably our most technically gifted player and the rest of the fans like myself feel he is being wasted with cameos.

Although he offers Robins something different off the bench, and his talent provides problem after problem for opposition defenders, O’Hare has shown on numerous occasions he has the ability to play at a higher level.

It should be almost considered a criminal offence to restrict a player that can quite clearly play at a better standard to substitute appearances week in week out.
