Osula and Jebbison

[Flatulent_Bob]

If we're serious about promotion, funds must be found for a decent loan striker.

They were serious about promotion, so bet the house on the squad we have. There’s nothing more to gamble with.

 

[SwissBlade]

We don't know what Osula would do in that situation either though.

He looks a much more mature player when I’ve seen him in a blades shirt

 

[bertieblade]

I cannot think of one “pass“ that he received to give him the opportunity to control, retain possession or bring others into play.

 

[bakeblade]

Where do you suggest these funds are coming from?
I thought we bagged 3 goals and points yesterday.

It's called speculating to accumulate, this season could be the last chance we have to get back in the Premier league for ages.

 

[Tarqs]

Jebbo didn't look great yesterday... but come on, all he had was 60 yard punts 60 yards into the air, when isolated on his own and 2/3 defenders around him every time.

What exactly were we expecting him to do?

Exactly!

When we fail to win a football match, a percentage of our fans will display their incredible knowledge by criticising tactics and substitutions. When we win they look for a scapegoat even if he is a teenager just back from injury.

Since his debut game is what I've judged him on. I've not seen anything that makes me get excited like I did with Ndiaye.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

The kid may be young & probably needs some more time to develop , but what I’ve seen of him to date he’s nowhere near championship level .

Him scoring in the Premier League as a 17 year old was exciting, but you're comparing him with a World Cup player who didn't play a League game until he was 21.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

He was bullied yesterday !

Who won the ball back for the 3rd goal?

 

[Tarqs]

Banged them in for a mid table div 1 side though 2 seasons back......

I don't think we've managed him well personally. Should have stayed at Burton all seaosn.

I just thought I'd seen more potential by now, yes he's not played much but you see flashes in players who are meant to be decent.

The worrying thing is that Jebbo is our second choice striker as it stands. Needs a full season in L1 before even gets a game here.

 

[ATL Recs]

I can two and on both occasions his first touch let him down

 

[EddieColquhoun]

The England set up has seen his potential. You're probably too young to have seen the young Brian Deane, but, on first sight, he reminded me of him.
DCL was not rated on here, or RND or the returning Ramsdale.

 

[robbiez666]

Jebbo needs to play regularly. He's raw. He has talent. Similar to DCL. Everton persisted with DCL when he wasn't ready and that's what made him. Needs to be extensively coached around the games to improve. Just look at how McAtee has come on since Luton. Hecky constantly goes on about his off the ball work. which has improved so much. Ditto with MGW. Raw talent moulded into a EPL player.

We saw with Brewster how much differenc eplaying regularly and staying fit made. Young talented footballers learn through experience.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

January 1st I would be on the phone to the Derby Physio Paul Warne and telling him we are bringing the Danish Haaland back

Started 3 games all season in the league what’s the point of us loaning him out when he would be more use at the Lane

 

[Yogi]

If we go up I’d imagine he’ll go on loan next year if we don’t and the takeover doesn’t happen he’ll be starting for us either way he’ll get plenty of football

 

[ancientblade]

some good points about osula havent been following his progress closely but if hes only made 3 starts for derby in league 1 thats no good whatsoever for united or the lad himself halt the loan and reloan him to a mid to lower league 1 club where he will be starting most weeks i would keep jebbison as an impact sub player but we definetly need another striker to come in next month imo

 

[FriethBlade]

Like Fallowfield I'm not sure what we are gaining by having Osula at Derby. Didzy isn't available today and he still doesn't get a sstart.He may as well be sitting on our bench and training with our superior players in the week.

However I'd think a better option would be to send him to a league two side in January where we know he's going to get a lot of games.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

It's called speculating to accumulate, this season could be the last chance we have to get back in the Premier league for ages.

I know it is.
But. I asked who do you think is splashing this cash.

 

[FriethBlade]

Butty no ins and no outs will do for me. I'd love a McBurnie back up and would swap Khadra for one as it's pretty clear Hecky doesn't rate Khadra so he may as well go back...if we can do that

I’d agree mate

i think that will happen khadra isnt going to feature in our system so send him back and use his salary to bring a striker in

 

[Le Cynique]

This exactly. It’s easy to spout platitudes like “speculate to accumulate” when it’s someone else’s coin.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Well played Jebbo.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Well played Jebbo.

It's so well timed this sudden up-tick in form, because we need somebody to step into that CF role and he looks like he might be capable of doing it.

Outside of his goal, some great bits of link up and movement... I personally liked him shoving Jake Cooper to the floor and giving it "shh" signals to the crowd. Showed a different side to him and one I think he'll need to progress. A bit of fight and aggression.

Sharp starts v Stoke 1000%

 

[Proper Blade]

Jebbison has earned a start vs Stoke. Sharp just hasn't been good enough in recent games.

Let's see. I think Jebbison gets the nod.
