gurujuan Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I told you guys, he wasn’t a right back before we even signed him. Actually thought, until the last 15, he’d done OK. A chance now for Palmer to reclaim his place, and get back to early season standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I can't be angry with Odubajo for getting fouled and yet somehow conceding a penalty. That's on the incompetent referee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think we might be better off using him a cover for the wings. Think he would offer more than Harris out wide. Plus it keeps him away from our box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Jockstrap Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 We can blame him all day, however it should not have been an issue, we should have been well ahead by that stage. Plenty of chances, plenty of misses, should have been game over. Oh well, back to the basics, get in front and flipping manage the game to its conclusion. Oh and win!

Steve Down South Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 First off, it was never a penalty, if anything Odubajo was fouled so don’t think he deserves criticism for that. Up until now I had reserved judgement, I hoped my initial concerns at some poor defending would be offset by his attacking qualities. I know it’s still early days, but those attacking qualities have still to reveal themselves, and the defending remains terrible. On balance I think I’m going with the view that he can’t defend, can’t offer much going forward and has to be dropped. We so desperately need a new right back (maybe try Iorfa?) and if any business is possible in January I might even prioritise this over a central striker with a bit of pace.

When you’re given a final warning you don’t go and do what you did in last few minutes Put the whole game at risk It’s one thing missing a chance than it is being a stupid thick t**t and diving in twice and getting sent off the second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves criticism because he just isn’t a clever defender He absolutely screams being a clumsy footballer - his whole demeanour is all over shop when close to a player, arms all over, gets beat easy and is then recovering and putting arms all over and pulling He just doesn’t act like a defender at all - it’s no surprise he’s given THREE penalties away this year. He looks like he’s all over a player when he may actually not, zero intelligence l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 He basically didn’t try to play the ball. Fox was covering him so he should have gone towards the ball rather than get involved with the man. A soft penalty but can see why ref gave it. He’s not a defender thats for sure. Doesn’t look like anyone has ever got hold of him and shown him either. Poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosborough-owl Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It was never a pen, but he’s definitely a liability. He makes to many mistakes and can’t control a bag of cement. If he wasn’t fast he’d be working at Tesco’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 He's a complete liability. Takes too many touches and always looks like he's going to make an error. Think I've made my mind up: He isn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Wasn’t a penalty but he just doesn’t look up to it imo. A real liability in some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evaowl Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It’s been clear all season he isn’t a right back, he’s a wing back. He is so error prone but gets way with it due to his pace. I thought it was a penalty but his first yellow was a bad decision as he got the ball and the guy tripped over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 If the referee had made the correct decision, would this thread exist? Because if not then - despite most people acknowledging is a disastrous decision - it still seems to somehow be confirmed folks opinions of him.

sMacLean Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Not a pen but he got involved in a tussle. Should just have gone down and ref gives a free kick. Makes Palmer look like Maldini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Personally I'd play Iorfa at RB & bring Borner back in to partner Lees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
