BackOfTheNet Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 9 hours ago, Jackhmfc1348 said: Good to see theirs still a player in Oda suppose he is still young but it’s good to see even when benched he comes on and makes an impact good mentality 👏 his next steps aware to play like that from the start. I suppose it is hard as at the start of the game every player is full of energy He’s young, he’s adapting and acclimatising and he’s a winger (most of the time) who are notorious for being inconsistent. Even McKay is inconsistent. That’s why we have a squad, if it’s not working for him, someone can come on and change it up and vice versa.

Like most wingers he is inconsistent, but how many corners and throw ins did he force yesterday? He was tormenting Motherwell, which was a delight to see.

stevie1874 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Good to see him finally using his undoubted pace. Couple of times yesterday he just put the ball past the defender and chased it down. Had the beating of his man easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corstorphine Jambo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The most consistent moan about Oda from fans is his tendency to chop back on himself rather than trust his pace against the defender. Yesterday he did trust his pace and contributed very well to a great second half. Hopefully the penny has dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_92 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It's gone under the radar a bit, but Oda has averaged better than a goal every other game this season going by minutes played. And if you go back to the last game of last season, he's got 6 goals in the equivalent of 10.5 league games. Hasn't had a lot of minutes this season, but that's very good going.

Great seeing Oda's pace today and delighted he got his goal. Definitely, Oda tried to turn a player today and fell over with the contact. If that was McKay or someone doing it he probably would have beaten him but Oda's still on the slight side Funnily enough I thought Tagawa looked heavier today actually, though could just be from not playing much.

Always like Oda, think he has taken to being in Scotland well, tries really hard when plays and he is scoring more goals then people realise (with todays goal he has scored the joint second most league goals for us with Vargas.) I think he can kick up another level, but I think the team needs to play to his strengths. Surprised he doesn't play more often. On a related note, though Tagawa today looked like a player in desperate need of players to provide him better balls, got in all the right positions but his team mates either ignored him or played the wrong ball. I think next season with McKay, Dhanda, Spittal and Grant he will thrive on the service they provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Oda is a weird one. He's a better player than Forrest, he scores more, he's more composed and generally makes better decisions. But a lot of the time when he's been rewarded with a start, he's not made things happen. Did well yesterday, so lets hope he can keep it going.

Oda seems a good lad/ prospect, hasn't been helped by not having a long run of games. If he along with Tagawa and Vargas turn out to be at the standard we need, there should be plenty scope for Spittal, Dhanda and McKay to see their runs beyond the last defender. Might transform our attacking play, although wouldn't want to be too one dimensional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I wonder how much the improvement in Forrest has been due to the competition from Oda and Vargas. In the early weeks of the season Forrest was poor and Oda was getting more starts. Vargas' steady improvement has made him a first pick in recent weeks, while Forrest's form has shaded. Oda, on yesterday's form, should start ahead of Forrest next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both he and Vargas are on long contracts so that they have time to realise their potential. And now we just signed two players who can cover wide positions who will give them time. Personally, I be think he’ll be a cracking player at 24 with another year and a bit to build himself up physically and gain experience.
