Ebou Adams

Re: Ebou Adams

he played like one game for us, in which he made like 8 successful tackles and 5 interceptions or something ridiculous like that, went on loan to league one and stormed it and we still didn't want to keep him.

Yet more Bulut genius.

Re: Ebou Adams

Including Etete, Kaba may have got most of the goals, but Etete’s form at the end of 22/23 played a big part in keeping us up. He made a good start to last season as well, but has struggled with injury for the last fifteen months or so.

Etete seems to really polarise opinion, like lots of our players.

I had high hopes for him (and even now occasionally think that he might come good) but have just become fed up with seeing him lose possession and get pushed off the ball.

Maybe he is a L1 or L2 player but I can’t see how he can justify another contract with us.

You haven't seen him do much of either this season. He's only played 45 minutes.

Etete has a big few months ahead of him. He needs to play an active role between now and the end of the season or he can forget it.

Re: Ebou Adams

I would have preferred to keep him rather than sign Sio. My only concern about Adams was that he looked like a red card magnet. It hasn't turned out that way and he has more than coped with the Championship.

His second touch of the ball usually resulted in a freekick to the opposition, as he desperately tried to win back the ball.

I didn’t say this season if you read carefully.

Steady on, Buzby. Perhaps you should have used the past tense. Became instead of become.

Phone a friend. If you have one.

Re: Ebou Adams

I never rated Drameh as highly as some city fans did, i didn't rate him that highly as a footballer, although i would have him in our side right now.

Always felt he & Giles were a little overrated by some

Doyle was a proper player though

Re: Ebou Adams

They mentioned on the EFL podcast the other day that Adams has made the highest amount of interceptions this season by some distance I think.

I also wasn't up in arms when we let him go but seems we missed out on another player with a bit of dynamism in midfield

He's made the 5th most tackles in the division, 4th most blocks, and second most interceptions. most of the other players registering highly in those metrics are defenders.

For tackles + interceptions he's way clear of anyone else in the division he has 143, the next highest has 110. (the highest cardiff player has 70!)

He's highest for tackles in the middle third of the pitch and, 7th highest for tackles in the attacking third.

for per-90 stats (excluding anyone with under 10 90s, as the numbers get a lot more erratic with a small sample size)

He's second for tackles with 4.44 per 90
19th for blocks with 1.66 per 90
4th for interceptions with 1.97 per 90
and 1st for tackles + interceptions with 6.41 per 90.

A very impressive season.

You look at the subsequent careers of those three players though and I’d say it’s Doughty that is the best of the four of them, Luton aren’t half missing him at the moment.

Scored four (should be five) as well. Eight bookings, not great, but not bad either for someone who makes so many tackles.

I thought Giles was by far the best for us out of those loanees.

Honourary mention for Niels Nkounkou, who I really rated even if nobody else did.

Did you see the goal Doncaster scored against Hull on Sunday - Giles’ defensive shortcomings captured within the space of a few seconds. Nkounkou was similar to Giles as he couldn’t defend either, both were good with the ball though - Giles with his crossing and N’Kounkou with his ability to go past opponents.
