Is Ugbo the new Kaba?

Re: Is Ugbo the new Kaba?

he did well for both goals, which is great, would like to see him as more of a focal point that can hold the ball up etc, but I don't think he does that really

Yes. He is technically good, and has a good burst over a short range but lacked service at his last club. It is a good analyst that recognised what is key with strikers - if they don't score many goals at all clubs, is often shows it is down to tactics or the service around them. Given the service, he will score, because he has two good feet, a good head, good movement inside the box, and a powerful shot. If he gets good service he will score a lot.

Ugbo probably more suited to how we want to play now. Kaba for me did what we needed and kept us up with goals but his general play wasn’t the best.

I thought Ugbo did well, ideally we bring in Moore then we have real options.

Re: Is Ugbo the new Kaba?

If that shot he had just after their first goal had gone in eh? He did everything right, got the shot off whilst under pressure with nobody else up with him. Would have been a cracker had it gone in and knocked the stuffing out of Leeds so soon after their lifeline. Haven’t seen a replay of it yet, was it miles over? Annoying how on the big screen in the ground replays of their play were shown, nothing of ours.

He made the Championship team of the week. Big surprise to me!

Way off target.

That was a superb ball by Ng.

It was a good ball, ideal at the time when it’s said that sides are at their most vulnerable, just after scoring. Their defence was practically non existent bar for the defender challenging Ugbo. One of those efforts that rips the back of the net out or lands on the roof.

Yes, I was very surprised at this as well. Classic poachers goal and some decent movement off the ball on the counter, but can't believe he was one of the best players of the week especially as he was taken off on 78 minutes. Would have thought Bowler or O'Dowda would have been in there way before he was.

I felt he did well. The second half chance was a good one. I can’t help feeling we should have done more to try to get 3-1 up, it would have killed them off and they were certainly brittle at the back.

Yes. No. Or maybe.

Can't blame him. Bulut's decision to have 10 men behind the ball for the entire second half meant we were starved of opportunities to get forward. Should have carried on as we did in the first half. Could have got a third and then game over.

Kaba was class for us, I hope he turns out as good, that was a great first competitive game.

I'd guess he won't be as good, and hope I'm wrong!

Re: Is Ugbo the new Kaba?

Ugbo starting, with Etete ready to come off the bench. I wouldn't be surprised to see them start together, at some stage. I thought Etete added a lot when he came on v Leeds.
