Obika

[spanish flair]

I thought he was poor but give the guy a break. Mostly playing five minutes here and there is not exactly going to make life easy - especially for a striker, who needs a bit of confidence. He looked decent at his previous loan clubs. Hard to be optimistic that will change on that showing but getting on his back certainly won't help.

If you listen to the Palace fans five minutes is all he can last. He was so bad there they sent him back to Spurs to save wages. Shrewd move on their part.

I have followed Brighton for nearly 40 years and I honestly do believe he is one of the worst players I have seen, the touch when he sent himself wide was embarrassing for a professional. Utter rubbish......,

Nathan Jones cannot spot a player.

Was poor when he came on, hope Ulloa's OK, he signalled to be brought off. Don't need him and Buckley injured again with the fixtures piling up. Really enjoyed tonight's game though, comfortably competed with a half decent Premier league side. BBC stats showed they had more possession, but we both had 13 shots. Sadly only 1 of ours on target !!

His lack of pace is disappointing, because it's not clear what else he has in his locker. He'll be playing for Crawley in 18 months

Ahh yes but that data base must have backed Nathan up for him to get on the shortlist.

Why would I listen to Palace fans? He had a very good reputation with Yeovil and Charlton.

 

[catfish]

His first touch is very poor.

If Obika was a racehorse he would be put down!!!!!!

Yeovil were league 1 when he was there and Charlton are in a relegation battle.

You what, if this a scat thread? No it isn't so **** off.

I was very disappointed that he looked knackered after being on the pitch for five minutes. He showed real pace when he came on for his first game but where was it tonight.

When IS c.m.s. back?

Now you have been watching the Albion even longer than me but can I throw a few names at you.. Richard Tiltman, Geoff Cooper, Ian Baird and anyone in the side under Jimmy Case!

 

[Commander]

Why the need to knock our own players? He wasn't great but 10 - 15 minutes here and there are not going to help him (not saying he should start in front of Ulloa).
Will never understand the need to have a go rather than praise players or congratulate a team on a good passing movement rather than knocking a missed pass etc

Normally I'd be right behind you, but Obika really does look useless.

 

[Questions]

@%1;

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.

Comparisons is it ? Like Barnes would have scored that first goal. Do me a favour.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

IMO Tilts and Baird were much better. Tilts scored at the level we are currently in, Obika struggles to even know which direction to run in. Baird was workmanlike but at least had a touch.

 

[Albumen]

I actually thought he had one of his better games.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

He was bloody awful didnt look one bit interested !!

 

[Footsoldier]

When IS c.m.s. back?

I think he'll be on the bench for Wigan. He did say he'd like to be ready for todays game.

 

[sydney]

i thought he was supposed to be quick.....he runs like a penguin...!
