Coco Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Has anybody seen him play? Will his game suit the SPL? He appears to have been signed on Laszlo's vouching for him before Laszlo watched a single SPL game live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershwin Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Left back this weekend please! There seems to be a split on jkb about where Obua should play. Personally I'd rather have him in attacking mid (possibly Audrey's role with Audrey taking Kingston's place) but I wouldn't have a problem if he played an Alan Hutton style marauding full back role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 We're maybe getting our hopes a bit high here. Interestingly it appears that he alone is declaring himself fit to play against St Midden - I can't see any sign of Lazlo saying exactly that.

neave Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 We're maybe getting our hopes a bit high here. Interestingly it appears that he alone is declaring himself fit to play against St Midden - I can't see any sign of Lazlo saying exactly that. David trained yesterday and today. He is over his injury and will be soon showing his talent for the team. Granted, he doesn't specifically say he'll play against St Mhirren, but given the poor performances of Wallace and Kingston last week it stands to reason and logic that he'll be included.

I would be very surprised if Laszlo allowed us to go into the season with only Wallace to fill the left full back role. After last Saturday at Ibronx I'd like to see Brown given a chance. Games against the Midden and Airdrie are perfect to help him settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Is Rapnik not a left back?. CB I think. I've said on another thread that I think Obua should go in at LB until we get another capable full back in. Wallace aint doing it for me I'm afraid. Once we get a LB in we can move David into a more attacking role. Wallace should be dropped after Saturday though. He was woefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Is Rapnik not a left back?. Played at left back in the pre season tour. He remarked after that that it was the first time in his career he had played that position. After last Saturday at Ibronx I'd like to see Brown given a chance. Games against the Midden and Airdrie are perfect to help him settle in. I would play any natural left back ahead of Wallace. IMO, continually playing players out of position is one of our biggest issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I still think we should be playing 4-4-2 in most games. I totally agree. 4-4-2 is the way forward. All this 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 is just the 2008 version of the once used 3-5-2. Remember when every team in Scotland used this new fangled formation?

Remember when every team in Scotland used this new fangled formation? I remember about 3 years ago in the Premiership when nearly every team started trying to play 4-5-1. Never seen so many boring games in my puff. Only teams like Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal can actually execute it. I'd love to see Calderwood wheel out the 2-4-4 self destruct formation again.

Ryan Gosling Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think Laszlo sees Rapnik as a left back, and Obua as an attacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie HMFC Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Interesting that the official site refers to him as a "versatile midfielder". Obviously that does not necessarily mean he will be used in midfield though! I'm just happy at the fact that we now have good (though I haven't seen Tullberg or Davey play yet) options! Can't wait to get Gary Glen, Tullberg and Nade fully fit and really do some damage to teams as I believe our midfield is stronger than anything any other non OF team can offer. Lets forget the huns game and look forward...Mon The Jambos!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 According to wiki he's going to be #16. Kello is down on the official site as #25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney19 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Please get him in as left back for Saturday. Lee Wallace was at fault for both goals on Saturday and his tracking back is awful. he has no pace either. Wallace out, Obua in please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd rather have him in attacking mid (possibly Audrey's role with Audrey taking Kingston's place) but I wouldn't have a problem if he played an Alan Hutton style marauding full back role Hopefully Audery's role will soon no longer be a role, if we have Tullberg & Mole/Nade up front. Should that be the case, I'd rather see him playing left back. If Driver can build up a good understanding with him, we should have a strong left flank again. Maybe not to the same extent as Fyssas/Skacel, but one with potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie wallace Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Has Obua been training with the squad and if not why not.I don't think delays in paperwork would prevent you from training.I would have thought he should have been accimatised to the football and weather by now and ready to play.

redm Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 When asked what the supporters can expect to see from him in a maroon jersey, David was quite clear. "Passion. That's all I can say. I've come here because I love the coach and I want to play for the fans and the president." Fantastic, I like him already. I'm quite stupidly excited about seeing him play too. Have to make sure he gets an almighty roar of a welcome on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
