    Had you been managing the side, where would you have played O’Dowda (aka the Irish Messi)?

      O Dowda is a talented player. But he was injury prone at Bristol City and the same with us.

      If he was out of contract Id let him go.

        And can play in a number of positions

        I think if both he and Ramsey had been playing just maybe ten games on top this season we would have seen a difference

        In fact if we were showing a bit of flair the usual suspects would have been calling for a tighter defence and midfield

        It's potty on here

          O’Dowda started five games this season. The side’s record in those games was won 1, drew 1, lost 3. The only victory in which he played the full 90 minutes was the 2-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday in August, and that would have ended in a draw had it not been for Vaulks giving City a penalty in injury time.

            Why are you implying we have a tight defence? We have conceded 65 goals, only 4 teams in the division have conceded more!!!

            12th place but minus 14 goal difference is cause for alarm to my mind. We often get battered when we lose and only win by the odd goal. Not good.

              several of our wins are in games that we were getting battered in as well, and could easily have gone the other way.

                Yes, and some of the losses could have easily gone the other way, that's football!

                  On the left he's a decent at fullback and left midfield, as an attacking player, and works hard when not injured or carrying a knock.

                    10 appearances won 5 lost 4 Leicester Sunderland Swansea QPR drew Leeds, probably wasn't fully match-fit for all of them.

                        also it may well be met with a massive rolling of eyes, but our xG for and against are amongst the worst in the division.

                            I'd have had to watch him in training, I may have played instead of Collins or possibly moved/dropped Grant, but Bulut would have loved the extra player and positions he could have covered and improved, as you've shown he also adds at the end of games fresh off the bench. I think he adds to the team, we can't rely on him though he picks up more than his share of injuries and spends long periods out.

                              I get the argument that we'd have done better this season if Ramsey had stayed fit and played more, but I don't think the same applies to O'Dowda. He's decent but not in the same ballpark.

                                Ramsey is a class above but the same, he won't play many games next season.
