Is Ugbo doing enough to be starting

Re: Is Ugbo doing enough to be starting

I've been a bit meh about Ugbo from day one, but, actually, I think he's not done badly in the last two games. He may not be a "fox in the box" type, but not too many of his size are these days, the goals he's scored for us so far have all been "right place, right time" type goals like most of Kaba's were and I reckon he offers a bit more in things like build up play than Sory did.

I don't think Ugbo is a natural target man but he is good in the air- against Coventry I was really impressed with his ability to direct headers to team mates, which allowed us to keep possession and build attacks. It was disappointing that he couldn't get on the end of one of those crosses into the box (particulalry that one from Ng which was superb) but he definitely contributes to our attacking play.

Re: Is Ugbo doing enough to be starting

He looks to me like a player whose best attribute is sticking the ball in the back of the net, which is brilliant to have. But when he doesn't score it then makes him look like he's had a bad game. In certain teams with not many goal scorers then 100% you would start him every game, last season he'd have been very useful for us.


But for the first time in a long time we've got quite a few players who can stick the ball in the back of the net, so players who can hold up the ball better e.g. Meite may be better for the team.

As much as I like Harris, there's no doubt Ugbo is far better.

Yes. We're scoring a lot of goals and he's got a good tally so far himself, so something must be working.

No, he's a lazy sod.
