Uche

Re: Uche

He’s a poor mans LFW

I’d hoped we’d seen the last of this type of striker as we were moving away from hoofball.

I don’t know why defenders engage with him. If I was defending against him I’d just let him have the ball as he’s clueless with what to do with it in open play. I’ve never seen a player at this level make so many wrong choices yesterday. It was Sunday league stuff.

If Morison is fair and consistent then he should be calling him out today for being so useless when he come on yesterday.

Re: Uche

I say sign Geoff Capes.

Tell us about the time you met him at a Budgerigar show Mr P!

Agree with the last paragraph.

(Well all of it actually but making a point of the last one)

Re: Uche

I'd rather see him coming on with 15 minutes to go in a game we need a goal, than James Collins tbh.

I guess he does it with the younger ones, because he wants them to toughen up and raise their level.
If a loaned player isnt performing then we just won't loan him again presumably

Possible that he goes in the summer?

I just think of you are going to go with the straight talking, no nonsense approach then you should call out some senior players too otherwise it makes you look a bit of bully when you’re only doing it to the young lads.

Take the Bournemouth game for example. He defended Bacuna and called Isaak a hinderance. Surely going down to 10 man because Bacuna assaulted a player was more of a hinderance!!!

Just because Uche is on loan shouldn’t matter, we are paying his wages and he’s our player for another 3 months.

It also comes down to what questions he's being asked as well I guess, the local media are always going to be more interested in our young prospects than an on loan player, so they're probably going to ask him more often about their performances

It was a poor signing. Another that’s represented by USM.

I wouldn't be surprised

I've been pretty one sided in defending defending SM against things he's said because I believed in what I was saying.

He hooked Watters because he wasn't doing his job (his words) and he wants points on the board so made changes to affect the game positively..
Uche, our player or not had 2 golden opportunities to do something productive and change a draw into a win, he made the wrong one both times, SM should definitely lay it out fair and why not the same way he's done it to our youngsters?

You can't just be a straight talker when it suits you.

He was a free - presumably intended to be backup for Kieffer Moore, we've had a lot worse signings, but I don't rate him, and it seems the manager doesn't either.

He's not what we need is he!!

Re: Uche

I think he’s a league one player. Had a good season with Luton but at 32 his best years are behind him.
Reminds me of the Rickie Lambert signing.

If that’s Mark Harris or Max Watters who make those poor choices yesterday SM is saying we should have had all 3 points if they had made better decisions wether he is prompted or not.

Personally, unless someone is fully walking around like they don’t give a shit like a Bacuna I don’t want to see anyone called out in public. I don’t think long term it helps. By all means lay into them behind closed doors if they are not doing what was asked of them but I think he goes too far with the public criticism on times.
