Callum O Dowda signed from Brizzle.

Re: Callum O Dowda signed from Brizzle.

It doesn't make for good reading, does it. The majority of their fans (OTIB) say he failed to deliver during his time there, and of course they nearly all mention his inactivity due to injuries.

He made a lot of sub appearances during his first four years in the Championship at Bristol - 19 in 16/17, 11 in 17/18, 11 in 18/19 and 15 in 19/20 (just 5 in 20/21 and 4 in 21/22).

His stats suggest he's a player who doesn't hold down a regular place in the team - the same was true even in his early years at Oxford. The most league games he's started in a season is just 20 (2014/15 in League Two for Oxford and 2018/19 in the Championship for Bristol).

Well Bale won’t last 90 minutes haha

He’s an option at least, be interesting if Morison sticks with wingbacks and sees him as in impact player or alternative. I’m glad we at least have a winger now. I don’t know what type of player he is but from reading consistency seems to be the issue.

Don’t forget about Tanner. I’m more excited about his signing than this one, but O’Dowda has got twenty three caps which surprises me and has to be seen as a positive I suppose.

Oh great another below average player signed from Bristol city and on a 3 year contract, do we never learn!

Re: Callum O Dowda signed from Brizzle.

O'Dowda's Championship starts for Bristol City:

2016/17 - 15
2017/18 - 13
2018/19 - 20
2019/20 - 17
2020/21 - 14
2021/22 - 16

Basically, an average of 16 league starts a season during six years at Ashton Gate.

His Championship goal tallies during the same period:

2016/17 - 0
2017/18 - 1 (against Cardiff)
2018/19 - 4
2019/20 - 1
2020/21 - 1
2021/22 - 1

Let's be honest, Bristol City have been far from good during the last six years and O'Dowda apparently couldn't hold down a place in their starting line-up. He's just turned 27, so it'll be a surprise if he improves significantly on what he's shown so far. Having said that, maybe a change of scenery will do the trick.

At last a prolific goal scorer to replace Moore

Am I the only one happy about this signing?

Re: Callum O Dowda signed from Brizzle.

If Morison can get Bagan to score 3 in 3, surely he can squeeze more out of O'Dowda...:thumbup:

3 in 3?
What about the other matches in which he didn’t score?

Glen Williams says we beat the Jacks and Sheff Utd to him. Great signing :hehe:

Re: Callum O Dowda signed from Brizzle.

It is encouraging that players are choosing us over other clubs. I'm sure it's not because we're offering more money.

Some people were kicking off about the loans in January backed up with stats, so let’s just wait and see i say.

Don’t know about a quarter of a hat but he’s got 23 international caps.
