Pasquale for King Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Does remind me of De Vries, great turn and finish with his left foot. Can clearly go ways, Maclean did well too and just need Lafferty to get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a great view of him in the second half, he's mobile, skilful and strong, with good control. He took some rough treatment from their 4 and 5 and looked completely unfazed. How their number 4 was even on the pitch at ht let alone when Uche came on is a mystery. He was brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulf Jambo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 One of the things I was most impressed about with his performance was that he was able to keep his head after being kicked in the back by the Cowdenbeath CB. Got pissed off (and rightly so) but instead of starting a fight he channelled the aggression into the game and just tried even harder for us! The piss taking with holding the ball up at the end was class as well ? Got his own back on them the right way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It was absolutely hilarious after their No5 stamped on him (he should have walked for it), Uche thought it was the No4 and the No5 kept well away from him until he realised his team mate was getting the blame This guy is definitely going to be a fans favourite.

stuart500 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Promising start. His challenge will be doing it consistently against much better defenders. Have a feeling he's a bit of a confidence player so we may need to be patient on days things aren't working. At least we have plenty other options.

Still not sure how he managed to score 19 goals last season considering the number of chances created for him, if he stays and the other strikers supply him he could score 30.

Dia Liom Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well done big man! Never seen showboating done by holding off a player, great to watch. Crucially Uche followed that up with a dangerous cross to the back post which led to a corner. Can't wait to see him battering into some top league defenders.

haj Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Why was their keeper going off his nut? There was clearly no malice about the challenge but he reacted like Uche had just tried to smack him in the face. weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
