He's shite.

[robbiez666]

JRS is perfect for Scoltand. Running rings round cloggers

 

[Derek1889]

I'd take him thought he showed what he could do in glimpses

 

[dn5 shaun]

He's shite.

Not a fan either but he did score more goals last season than McBurnie has in last 3 seasons

 

[Bladesman]

Was it just agent talk his move up to Scotland?

 

[Yogi]

Odd he’s not moved anywhere this summer he’s a decent enough player but won’t play for Palace

It depends, seeing as Palace seemed determined to sell everyone. end up getting a game by default.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Scottish clubs have up to 11pm to submit papers tonight

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I hope he does get a move somewhere.

He's a good player and seemed a decent kid. I think he'd boss it in the SPL and probably in the Championship with a decent club.

 

[BigBed]

Do we have time for one more??......

 

[MartBlade]

Based on his time with us, I'm guessing he had the chance to sign for a number of clubs but it all seemed like a bit too much effort.

 

[FredZeppelin]

True, but that's a very low bar. Trust me pal, you really don't want to know my opinion on McBurnie!

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Would've been pleased with this one

 

[TJB.]

I'm fine with missing out on him. He didn't look arsed half the time when he was here. Dread to think what he'd be like under Selles who doesn't appear to be the best man-motivator...

 

[Silent Blade]

Hamer.

Now you realise Wit is no longer ITK! He is yesterday's man.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Now you realise Wit is no longer ITK! He is yesterday's man.

To be fair, if Brentford had got their man I think Hamer was on his bike.
Him staying is likely nothing to do with anything we did, or Hamer's desire.

 

[Carlton Blade]

If he'd smiled more, people would have liked him. Because he looked mardy he "couldn't be arsed"

Led in (all per 90)
Progressive carries
Carries into thr final 3rd
Carries into the penalty area
Attempted take ons
Successful take ins

2nd for goals, 2nd in Shots created, 3rd in key passes and shots on target,

Won more tackles per 90 than Peck, Hamer, Robinson, Arblaster

More blocks than Souttar, Hamer, O'Hare, Arblaster, Burrows

Team had a +18 gd with him on the pitch for 1,725 minutes and only conceded 8 goals. GD was only +9 in the other 2,415 and we conceded 28 goals. We only lost 3 of the 22 games he started.

I know some people didn't rate him. But United were a much, much better team with him on the pitch and the stuff about him not trying is bizarre.

His defensive stats were excellent.

He had a bit of a languid style / body language, but he put graft in.
I'd have had him back in a heartbeat, a really good player.

 

[BigBed]

Wheres he ended up?? Still at Palace?

Teams were always worried about him, doubled him up almost all the time.

 

[ben1987]

Teams were always worried about him, doubled him up almost all the time.

He also spent most of his games playing ahead of Gilchrist who wasn’t really a RB and wasn’t comfortable driving forwards.

Especially in home games where more often than not opponents sat in and tried to counter attack or play for a draw he was always very isolated and as you say doubled up on.

Half of United fans can’t recognise that though and didn’t rate him because he wasn’t able to continually skin two defenders at once and smash one in the top corner.

How many times did we actually play a pass ahead of him, into space and put him in a 1v1 against his fullback? Hardly ever because we’d pissed about with it for 18 passes across the back line first so the opponents were dug in their trenches ready.

JRS & Godfrey would've made a good duo this season.
Surprised anyone would prefer Ogbene, but let's see what he brings.
