Re: Uche

The answer you were searching for is no.

Not searching I'm RIGHT

Re: Uche

I never said I didn't like him. I do like him and I sung his name every time the chant went up and will continue to do so every time he plays. I just don't think he's very good

I agree with you. I watched him today. I thought he was seriously bad and a very poor substitution. In fact, I think we had more chance of 3 points before he came on. He's not really a team player. Good for a bit of fun but ultimately I think he's a bit rubbish.

Re: Uche

I think that was with Wimbledon, then his contract was up, so in his post match interview he invited managers to contact him on WhatsApp

Can you help me out? When I saw him, would he have been playing for Wycombe in L2? Or am I confusing my seasons because of Covid timelines? Newport v Wycombe? Didn't he have a hell of a gut on him that wobbled when he ran? It's just the picture I looked at earlier looked like a version on steroids.

Re: Uche

Not this season he hasn't. Or last season. Or the season before that.

The old pedant strikes again! Statistically of course you are correct. But this thread is about a limited player doing his utmost. You loved Leo Fortune-West for that very reason!

The Blackpool defenders were scared of him, a few times. It helped us in a tight game although it didn't result in anything. But his introduction made the game more interesting.

The second half was entertaining, and I am pleased about that.

Re: Uche

Just to finish on something positive before bed. I was impressed that after one hard tackle on him, he was up and running straight away to get on with the game. Moore would have been sat on his arse flapping his arms around with that hang-dog expression I came to loathe, while the rest of the game went on around him.

Re: Uche

What was everyone expecting? Didier Drogba? He's spent most of his career on loan in the lower divisions. He got himself in some decent positions today and did his job against a tired defence. He made a couple of poor decisions though. He probably fancied himself after scoring two goals in less than an hour of playing time. You can't really blame a center forward for that.

Re: Uche

That's largely why he's had a zillion clubs, but he can be useful for holding the ball up if we want to close a game down.

Which is pointless if he makes the wrong decision after doing so..

Re: Uche

He scared the life out of the Blackpool defence and we he should have earned a pelanty in stoppage time ?

For what?

[dembethewarrior]

Re: Uche

Did you? He spent the entire time wrestling the defenders trying to win free kicks, on the occasions he had the ball in a good position rather than giving it to the men in space he tried audacious shots that flew well wide, his teammates were clearly pissed off with his decisions

Said in the match thread he needs to realise he isn't always going to be the hero.

He's got his uses, he needs to make better decisions. No harm in saying that.

Re: Uche

If he was any good, he wouldn’t be with us.

Plenty of our players are, and are with us.

Re: Uche

Didn't see you slagging him off after the games he had scored in?

So?

Laying the ball off is doing his job.

Not to sound like I'm on his back, because I'm not, but he could have done better today, he did a lot but ultimately didn't do what he needed to.

Re: Uche

Then by that rationale, we can only sign players who aren't very good?

Re: Uche

Yes I did. You enjoy Uzpe and his great ability and the way he lifts the team and I'll continue to live in the real world where he's a cult hero because he's a bit shit

**** me. Some people just can't moaning. He strengths and weaknesses. But he is not shit FFS
