teddybear1975 2,289 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Because this season our front three will play more like inside forwards. The most width in the front three will come from Jones but he also has the ability to stay narrow when required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure yet if he can turn a 0-0 into a 1-0. Time yet, though - still very early days. That’s a very good post mate. Never thought of him in that way.

Ojo of the right and Kent of the left. TBF Jones from the left is looking promising. Why no’? Doesnt matter what side if the pitch they operate on. If one outscores and produces more assists then given their position in the team (ie attacking midfielder) then of course they are comparable. If not like ones a defender and the other is a striker.

HOPLITE 231 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I thought Ojo had his best game for us yesterday played his position well kept the ball moving took a few sore ones but kept going glad the lad got a goal his play deserved one.

Prso's headband 36,807 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Said when we signed he’d score and assist more than Kent but I just can’t put my finger on what it is about him I don’t like. I feel almost like he tracks back when it’s not needed but when it’s needed the most he just doesn’t. Their goal yesterday stems from a pass into Allan from his side, where I expect him to be if we don’t have the ball. Really annoyed me yesterday especially considering we should’ve been up by 4 at that point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really annoyed me yesterday especially considering we should’ve been up by 4 at that point. In my opinion, he's just that wee bit slower in closing down or shifting over when the ball goes out wide that what Kent or Candeias did. But hopefully he grows into the role, as he certainly seems to get on the scoresheet and gets in good attacking positions.

I love Kent and really want him back, but Ojo will have more goals and assists by Xmas than Kent did in the whole season. In certain games, he will do very well for us.

You’re not really getting it, are you? Nobody has said Ojo is a direct replacement for Kent’s position but he is replacing his input. Both are attacking midfielders, they have the same role to play. Plenty on here compare Barasic to Tavernier ( even Tav and Tierney) because they play the same position, it just happens to be on the opposite side of the pitch. Its about the contribution each player delivers for the team from their generic (not specific) position in the team. That’s not too hard a concept to grasp is it? If Ojo scores and assists more from the right wing than Kent does from the left then it’s quite easy to conclude that he is more effective in that respect. Work rate and what both offer to the team as a whole can also get taken into account but is trickier to quantify. In that regard, to date, Kent offered more going back but it’s early doors.

The free kick was a long way out so a goalie has plenty time to adjust his feet from those, despite it being top bin as you rightly said. The one I mean though was pure reaction and totally full stretch. Still cant believe the cunt got to it. Really could have been double figures.

bluenoz 32,496 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Statistics can be misleading at times ( the fact Jones is not seen on the stat sheet for the second goal yesterday ) but Ojo has already proved that he will blow Candeias out the water this year in stats alone. I reckon around 15 goals and 10 assists. Scotjo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, today, I'm not going to complain. He hit the shot that unsettled their goalkeeper to spill for the first, he did brilliantly for the second picking up the assist and got a goal himself. He doesn't pull off everything but he's not afraid to try things and we lacked that in the final third last season Racism imo.
