Osula and Jebbison

Last 2 games he has shown he is maturing well. Can't think of a better future than having Illi at no.10 and Jebbo and Osula in front of him. They need game time together. They have experience in the under 23s together. Love Billy, but time to hand over to the new crew! They are keen, eager, maybe raw, but exciting. We really should be thinking of 4,3,1,2 in prep for EPL imo.is Hecky brave enough?

Jebbo was excellent today. Think the change of formation suited him. Most encouraging thing for me was that he bullied Cresswell. One hell of a prospect if he develops a nasty streak.

From what I've seen, Osula already has that aggressive nasty streak in him - so yes, if Jebbo develops one too they'll be a reyt handful in the future :)

In the last two games he’s been a real handful for Dickie and Cresswell both really decent centrebacks.

Before his goal, he just ran into Cresswell twice with the ball nowhere near. For a 19 year old to be pulling out "old man" tricks is great, especially when he's one who has all the physical attributes.
 
He's 19. Still will be young prospect for two years at least. Obviously he had a decent spell at Burton but the previous two games as the first time I have seen evidence he can do it in the championship. Won't be expecting the world from him as he is still growing and learning.

I do wonder sometimes what influence having Billy, Didzy and Lester around the place during these lads formative years will have had. There’s 3 strikers there who know all the dark arts.

These two should be on the bench. I know they're still raw but their decent options to have on the bench when defences are tiring. Suppose Hecky prefers 3 defenders to attacking.

why not try em both up top with illiman in the number 10 role behind em what have we got to lose now we aint going up playing this style of football still dont see what mcburnie gives us wins one or two headers but no pace no movement no threat as for the 3 centre backs rubbish that needed ditching ages ago get bodies further up the pitch and stop this defensive football crap
 
We've seen both show their exceptional physical attributes the last few weeks. They're all action, pace and power, but lack composure as they finish. I hope we can continue to trust them and give them playing time and the composure should come.

I worry people are going to be frustrated with them because they've missed chances, but for me their performances, and the fact that they seem to be getting so many chances, have been very encouraging.

Anyone getting frustrated with the composure of teenaged strikers needs to get a grip. Composure will come with experience.
 

These 2 up top with illy will give us a good start next season plus Doyle with Berge it's a start the rest of the recruitment needs to be better than in previous seasons
Nothing to look at here 🧐
 
Osula is a rare physical specimen. The raw strength and power he has means he can make his own chances, as we saw today. He's better in this department than Jebbison

The club have to get it right with these two because it's a hell of a gift to have 2 young strikers like this at the same time. First step is to get them both on long contracts

Fuck it up and not only are we throwing away a potential fortune but also the genuine possibility of a top level striking partnership

The big question is whether that experience should come in the PL with us or loaned out.
Much depends on how much they can learn in the close-season & whether their mentality can cope with the increased challenge.
Deane arrived in L1 and was able to grow with us as we rose through Champ to PL 1988 to 1990 & beyond.
And Deane was obviously a rare talent.
Whether our 2 lads can progress even faster than he did is a big ask.
But for me , they are better prospects than the perennially injured Brewster , who may or may not return in good form after such a bad injury.
Surely Sharp is now too old.
And McBurnie is ok for back-up but not starting.
So a lot depends on keeping Ndiaye and/or the funds to sign a striker who will go straight into the first 11.
Intrigued to see where Hecky spends the limited cash available.
I tend to think we do need one striker to come in , even if Ndiaye stays , coz Ndiaye can be effective from midfield.

Well said mate, people have to be patient as they are two cracking prospects but because they have not really had a good chance in the side they are snapping at shots, panicking all because they are desperate to score and do well, if it was the u21s they would have been tucking away the chances no bother… hopefully as they see more first team action they will settle down more and relax in front of goal which I’m sure they will because they are two top talents.

With them being still so young I hope we get to keep them for another couple of years to see them develop.

Might be difficult to get them game time with us next season with them still being raw but there's some real potential and excitement there for me.
 
To me Osula is streets ahead of Jebbo, much stonger in and out of posession.I reckon he could do a good job in the prem.
Jebbo needs another year in the champ building himself up physically.
Its good to see two real prospects coming through and hopefully Louie as well, which his dad will be thrilled to see.
 
Osula could become a real crowd favorite coming off the bench.

I remember the crowd appreciating Nade when he'd come off the bench and knock some defenders around. Osula is in far better shape but could have a similar impact to games.

He's very all action even for a teenager.

Need to get them practicing in Billy Sharp's garden all summer!

The Premier league has probably come a season too early for these lads. They might do a job coming on as subs, but not starters.
It obviously depends on who we sign, but a loan until January will probably be best
 
Big powerful forwards is exactly what we need next season. Illy just behind would give us an awesome attack.

Is Billy still speaking to him
 
Get them both playing championship football next season to some lower league team so they see some games, get in a couple of expensive quality strikers until we see how they develop.

I thought Deane joined us in the 3rd division, and after we confounded the experts in the 2nd division, we went up to the 1st division, as runners up to Leeds on goal difference as Newcastle finished 3rd (or Newcastle finished league 1 a la the new description for 3rd?) on 80 points, 5 behind the top 2?

Billy needs to fuck off with his ranting at Osula. Billy would not have passed if he had been in that position.

Chris Morgan said the same on SUTV. Next year in the Premier League we will probably get a penalty for the keeper taking Osula out.
