O'Dowda

Re: O'Dowda

Someone said earlier that they felt a bit “meh” about his signing. That’s exactly how I felt and it didn’t really change after watching him in pre season, but he’s been very good since the propr stuff began. Seems to me that a lot of the problems he encountered in his final years at Bristol City were down to injuries, hopefully, he can steer clear of them here.

Re: O'Dowda

I thought he was excellent yesterday, and it was tough call for anyone picking a MOTM, as both full backs were outstanding as well.
I wonder if Bundesliga 2 has got another 1 or 2 uncovered gems like Collins, who will rightly be a firm fans favourite if he maintains his current levels of performance

Re: O'Dowda

Not only has he got a good touch, cross and movement, but his work rate is excellent and he’s also pretty decent in the air.

I’ve been pleasantly impressed by him so far.

It’s be nuts if a free transfer proved to be our Best Buy from over the bridge in the last 20 years or so.

He looks up before crossing,he looks the part.

That's the norm for wingers, though.

Interesting stat from Sky quoted earlier in the thread:

9 touches in the opposition box (career best in his 163 Championship appearances)

His goal last week was his first since November 2021. He's scored just once in each of his last three seasons. In fact, he didn't score at all in 2020 - went around 15 months without a goal.

He's clearly got ability and is obviously in form at the moment. A change of scenery appears to have done him good. Let's hope he can maintain his current levels.

Re: O'Dowda

Season last ‘s 46 games not 3. Try not to get carried away. The Robins wouldn’t have let him go if he was any good.

I assumed he was out of contract?

He was.
