Ogbene

[Blade59]

MOM Saturday according to the Star - not sure which match Danny Hall went to assuming it was him covering it.

 

[bertieblade]

He was supposed to have pace and skill, unfortunately his main assett seem to be giving the ball away.
It may however be worth playing him through the middle as he could then give the ball away further up the pitch

 

[Slim Man]

He doesn't take anyone on. He's not as quick as expected. And he's shit with the ball.

He isn't remotely solid enough defensively to make up for his nothingness going forward.

Send him back in January, and until then play Seriki until his hamstrings pop. A far superior player.

 

[ancientblade]

ogbene is garbage league 1 winger at best him and mcguiness should be nowhere near the starting 11 i fancy us strongly to survive but wilder has to stop starting these lower league players or we could get relegated

 

[Lowen]

He has been so disappointing. Barry, Chong and Ogbene all wingers signed that are worse than Brooks. Soumare has turned into the only loan worth persisting with.

 

[Balham]

Ogbene post-injury should serve as a warning to those clamouring for the return of Harry Souttar.

Arblaster as well. He will need so much time to get anywhere close to what he was. Been there myself at his age, obvs at a much lower level (step 8 as it is now) but is takes something away from you which I never got back. I was out for 14 months with ruptured ankle ligaments plus same ankle was broken.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Ogbene has clearly lost a yard of pace after his injury. Ipswich clearly knew this, hence letting him go. We obviously hadn't scouted him - which is very poor from us, again.

 

[LBA_Blade]

I don't know his actual position, never seen a player that has been picked internationally at LB and RB and CF and with his club plays RWB/RW/Who the fuck knows
When it was at Rotherham he was a goal poacher and had pace which is even more bizarre given his form so far, I know he had an injury and all but even so

I forgot that Souttar solely relied on his pace being his only attribute.

Play him up top then?!

I'd play him through the middle. We're short of an athletic and fast striker. Gerrim up there running the channels instead of Cannon....

 

[s20Blade]

Send him back

Send them all back!

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I think I'm in a minority of one here, but I don't get the pelters Ogbene is getting.

In a squad devoid of quality and creativity, he at least tries to advance the ball, run his man, carry, take on his man. Course he's rusty, and yes he loses it more than most, but that's because he's trying to do something in the first place, over recycling possession.

He had a huge injury that many never recover from. It's unlikely that even if you come back you're ever the same player. Only a highly naive or desperate club would've signed him. I actually class his performances as 'better than expected' which says everything

 

[ATL Recs]

And Arblaster

 

[Slim Man]

He's absolutely abysmal

 

[Nelson1889]

This guy is up there as one of worst wide players I've ever seen.

Can't cross, can't beat a man, can't pass between the lines. He is a terrible footballer, if you can even call him that

 

[Slugger]

So Ogbene has won the coveted "scapegoat of the week" award?
Much rather have a player who tries to make something happen than some of the cowardly keep possession shite we've got used to.
Yes today from 6 possessions he was absolutely woeful for 3 of them but he also got 3 decent crosses in with the other 3 possessions. One of those crosses produced our best chance of the 2nd half.
I'd much rather that than 6 play-it-safe back passes.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Not good enough. None of them are an upgrade on what we had last season.

 

[Slim Man]

Not Ogbene then?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

For me he's better than brooks but both aren't brilliant

It's not about scapegoats mate, he's fucking terrible. One trick pony who average defenders suss out after his first touch (him and Barry are peas in a pod). We need better, he's consistently below average, doesn't change the game and needs to go back to Ipswich as soon as.

 

[Slugger]

Not saying he's brilliant; he clearly isn't but agree I'd prefer him in that position over Brooks who continually kills any attack by cutting inside due to the fact he's no right foot.
I'd rather Ogbene lost possession half the time if he can get the ball into the box for the other half. At least the ball is progressed forward.

Agree about playing Brooks on the right, he's not great on his good foot but he's a waste of time playing him on the opposite side.

 

[dc_blade]

That rarest of creatures, a winger who can’t beat a man.

I agree Kozzy. At least he's willing to take a man on and try and get to the byline.

 

[Wright1889]

Brooks played mills better than Ogbene

 

[MayorOJC]

Said it before, but he's not a wide player. Play him centrally or don't play him at all.
