Quoted from forza ivano


yes we did. Don't think Ogbu played in the Chelsea game, but he was recalled for the Exeter game on the Saturday where he was (along with a few others) brilliant, in a superb team performance

As with most things Ogbu was neither of the extremes described here. He was capable of being very good, but they were fleeting glimpses. He certainly wasn't the worst forward we've had. There's long list much more mediocre names from 20-21 and the non league wilderness years


Agree that Ogbu played really well in that away game at Exeter.

Was it Mansfield away, early on in Holloway's reign, where we went down to 10-men and Ogbu absolutely battered their backline?

He certainly isn't or wasn't shite.  Erratic, unpredictable and frustrating perhaps.  But shite?  Not for me.

He wasn’t even the worst player in that squad, let alone the worst in 20 years or whatever the original quote was.

Ogbu was highly inconsistent, not just between matches and within matches but within the same move, doing the difficult thing well then making a pigs ear of an easy pass or shot or similar. Dreadfully frustrating rather than simply dreadful. Certainly carried a lot more threat than Matt Green.

I thought he was alright in that game against Mansfield but didn't Holloway, after ogbu had gone, say that he was unable or unwilling to follow his instructions in that match and he didn't play for us after that. Or I might be mixing that up with something else.

The southern twit ( I can't say, or even type his name) said Moses was not supposed "to do that"...not sure what "that" was, but he wasn't supposed to do it, then let him go stating he "was homesick"...

I recall the southern twit criticising the other players for not looking out for him too but this article implies Ogbu thought he should play and the southern twit didn't want him:

I suspect it was one of Holloway's earliest lies after joining the club. Lots of guff about Ogbu suffering from homesickness, not being happy, not 'One of my boys' (or somesuch nonsense). Just didn't want to be honest and admit he didn't want him.

Because he had all these exciting young strikers queueing up to join us. Gomis, Morton, Jackson Jr, Sissay and the baby gender reveal party guy.
