Great ability, no consistency, unpredictable, perception of sometimes being lazy. Was a gamble worth taking by Jolley but he’s just not a Holloway type of player.

Shame if true....one player in the squad that could beat a man and then look up before he crossed it.

I had high hopes for him but for whatever reason he just hasnt had a run of games and something didn't seem right. I imagine getting him off the wage bill would help IH with other targets

Always thought the adjective “Striker” suggests the player will score goals but Ogbu like many town strikers before him were oblivious to this. Had two or three decent performances but like Vose a couple of seasons back only showed his skills on rare occasions. Need Green & Cardwell to also move on with Akeem and Charlie needing to use the second half of the season to demonstrate they are worth new contracts. Charlie started to do so but Rose still much to do IMO.
Whilst I agree with this I do think Vernham is starting to show just how good he is, hopefully over his shin splints now and been pleasing to see him compete for 90 minutes in 3 games. As for Cardwell, majority of us feel the same and at 24 should be a fully fledged starter by now, but just not seen enough to think he'll ever quite cut it at league level. Rose, another enigma, fast, powerful, can turn a player and scares defenders and I would hope that with Holloway's input could improve his decision making and strikes on target...maybe he would benefit from half a season in the conference.

Whatever the reason and whatever people’s views, he won’t be missed really will he and will be confined to the list of those players we joke about within a year or two...Anthony Straker, serge, Knut anders Fostervald etc...

Where did he say this?
Radio Humberside interviewed Holloway and it was on tonight's show...even came across as though Ogbu agreed with his rationale and the pair shared a hug at the end of the conversation

It’s a shame, but Ollie has a plan. I just hope he has faith in Vernam, who I think is reaching his potential now.

You're the idiot....if you listen to Holloway's reasoning for letting Ogbu go it's nothing to do with his footballing ability, he's doing it because he's understood Ogbu hasn't and isn't settling here and he's told him to leave to get his life back on track... It's called man management and caring for your players well being and mental health....
If there are non footballing factors and wages are high, then fair enough. Rather ironic after so much hoofball ,and Greens failure to gel with any system, that we may get rid of a player who can hold on to the ball and link with others. The return of Vernam, who can work across the front line with pace puts him ahead of Ogbu and Green. Noticeable in the second half of the reserve game that Olly was loudly urging forwards and wing backs to move into space quickly to give centre mids options. He was doing it from way back in the stands, however, over the heads of three coaches on the touchline.!

Did not see a lot of him but at least he came to a new country and gave it a go.
Best of luck Moses wherever you go.
