Obika

[Seagull1989]

Bringing him on is what cost us today! He couldn't hold the ball up and his touch was dire

 

[Rookie]

I understand where you're coming from but it was more the lack of effort for him

I would disagree that he didn't show effort, he came into the game when we getting deeper and deeper and looked naive against a experienced premier league centre back. When he got into good positions he lacked options or chose the wrong but he is young and will learn.

Mccammon mark 2 .Entertaining game and a good turn out from Hull.

 

[METALMICKY]

Sorry but he looks like Bambi on ice after 10 pints. Aside from fluffing that shot near the end minutes earlier he showed a complete lack of awareness when he dwelt on the ball when a simple pass right would have played March in on goal.
Biggest problem second half was us sitting too deep and inviting them on plus a complete inability to slow it down and just hold on to the ball.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Fluffed his touch on the break and couldn't capitalise on JFC's fantastic pass which lead to a corner. Dissapointing

 

[maltaseagull]

Don't think anyone can disagree with the consensus here. Looked VERY slow and a bit clumsy. Shame. Also thought, despite his best efforts, Chicksen looked out of his depth. Great experience for him though and no doubt he'll get better and better.

He was very poor and very slow.

Chicksen I thought had a good game and considering he was up against premiership quality, did well. Especially in the 2nd half when Lua Lua was taking a break after a not very convincing dive and so left alone.

Ulloa scores that header and it doesn't matter what Obika can and can't do.

If Barnes had failed to hit the target with such a chance, there would be 75 threads devoted to the subject already.

That may well be so, but between misses just how many, and how long, were Barnes' goal a game runs?

 

[Discodoktor]

We must have a deal with spurs where he has to play. Otherwise our manager doesn't know a player that's Not as good as our players we own.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Obika. I am trying to write something positive and complimentary, so here goes. He made Chris Holroyd look like Gianfranco Zola in his pomp.

 

[patchamalbion]

Got to agree with bozza, if ulloa scores what should have been a standard header it wouldn't matter but that shouldn't shadow the fact that obika is absolute pony!! He was awful and it was like we had 10!

Real struggle to get through now

I think that line is over-played. Ulloa has earned the right not to take stick for missing the odd sitter. With Ashley the missed sitters were not that odd.

And Obika did not look great.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Awful player. Dreadful first touch.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Is he pacy? I haven't seen enough of him.

There was a chance for him to break clear or at least hassle the defender and he seemed to trot after him.

 

[Bozza]

My (badly made) point is that Jon Obika is not the reason we have to go to a replay. And, let's be clear - I'm not a fan at all.

And, my age old point still holds true - I'm not going to slate a player who is on the pitch for the Albion if he seems to not be good enough. Blame the people who put him there.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

What's all this, he's young and will learn rubbish. He's 23 FFS - JFC and Marc are 19, Ince is 21, Dunk is 22... At 23 he should know how not to be a pile of sh*t

Barnes probably would have failed to hit the target. He was ****ing shit, glad we got rid. I remember him missing at least 10 easier, or as easy, chances as the one Ulloa missed tonight.

From what I saw Guy Butters could have taken him over 10 yards.

[gravnast]

Seems to do well for reserve sides but not for first team. Complete waste of space

Absolute shit obika
