Sheffield Wednesday fans raving about what a superb January acquisition Ugbo has been. If only Bulet played players to their strengths or bought in the right players to fit the system he wants to play. It's not rocket science!

Ugbo can clearly score goals when given opportunities. He wasn't going to get those opportunities at City, for whom strikers are merely defenders that play closer to the opponent's goal. Ugbo got some stick from City fans and I heard him get called lazy more than a few times, which he wasn't by any stretch of the imagination, although he did sometimes look a bit lost in City's attacking strategy of simply running around a lot.Quote:

He’s crap and just shines in a team full of other crap players
And has scored 6 goals in 8 games.Quote:

Ugbo is a tap in merchant which is fine but it doesn’t work for Bulut’s system. I’d like to know what striker it would work for but that’s another story. I’m not heartbroken he left by any meansQuote:

I liked him. It was obvious he had something. A striker in a team who don’t want to attack is doomed.
He doesn’t get involved at all, though. You have to carry him in a game. I don’t think too many sides can afford that luxury, and you certainly can’t if you want to get promoted.Quote:

Not sure what formation Wednesday are using him in but in a traditional forward 2 as the poacher getting on the end of things you can see he’d be a very useful player indeed.
Happy to be corrected with the production of said message, but I can’t recall anyone condemning the decision to release Ugbo from his loan at the time
I think people thought we were releasing for Keiffer Moore.Quote:

He was good especially with O'Dowda, Rambo, and Bowler when at his best, after they went on the sick, he had no service.Quote:

Bastards, getting players forward into attacking positions.Quote:
