Delighted for AL, great result against a team full of League 1 and ex Championship players on loads more money than our lads.

The work rate was excellent especially second half but we do make it hard work with some real hospital passes. It is bad enough to be passing sideways and back but they should at least do a decent one and not put the team mate under pressure and nowhere to go. We keep doing it down the wings especially.

But everyone put a shift in and I thought we deserved the points in the end for wearing them down and going 4-4-2 second half.

Ogbu led the line in our last win so surely he deserves a run in the team to prove himself

Quoted from monkeyboy

People giving Ogbu a kicking? i thought he did alright.  He held the ball up ok and played a couple of decent balls.  Considering the guy hasnt had a run in the team yet he done more than Green has all season for me.
Think he needs to stop wondering out wide when he is the only striker and stay central, he is very capable of holding ball up and bringing others in to play.

Think whole team did ok today but nothing spectacular, probably the worst we have played in a few games and won so hopefully turning the corner now.

He's so clumsy, lost the ball tons of times because he has no real control with the ball at his feet, looks like he's running on ice with his legs flying all over the place. Before Rose found space and got a shot off it was Ogbu with our best chance to do something and he screwed it up by getting the ball caught in his feet and kicking it out. The one thing he did right was draw some fouls.

I don't get the hate.yes he's unpredictable and sometimes it goes wrong, but that's why he's playing for us. I thought he was a massive improvement on green in the game v crawley and as you said he was very good when we beat exeter

FIFY.

He's the sort of player who shows up in non league hoping to play football in England. Has some raw attributes in strength and pace but has no idea how to actually use it. He doesn't run out of gas in 10 minutes like Tom Bolarinwa did but I don't see him offering much more. He's sort of okay if you want to bring somebody on to cause problems for the last 10-15 minutes but not somebody you want to be spending a huge wage on if the rumours are true. We need more than something good happening 1 in 20 times he touches the ball, it even looked like players were avoiding passing him the ball in the box on several occasions so maybe even they know he's rubbish.  

I guess because we have a new manager and the first win in months everyone is in a super positive "nobody can do any wrong" sort of mood. Will remember these comments the next time we lose badly in a game Ogbu played in.

Unfair on Green who wasn’t fit. I think Ollie will want better than Ogbu, and probably Green, Cardwell and Cook as well.

Thought ogbu did okay against 2 very physical centre halves.

All about opinions but thought he was really poor until after we scored then he managed to win us several free kicks. Control was iffy, work rate not the best and he rarely bust a gut to get in the box as I would expect all forward players to do. I would be looking to replace him in ths window, thank him for giving it a go and try and offload back to Sweden.

We were saying that he definitely didn't fit the remit of a IH player from what he said yesterday. Don't think he works hard enough and was on his heels several times when he could have won the ball but let the defender get in front of him.
