The xx Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would like to see him in for Ksanavicius, just behind Mole but he is probably needed more urgently at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would like him to play in his natural position, I hope that is left back. If it is not left back, then Laszlo/Romanov needs to go out and get us a left back pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Sexington Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Left back. Simply because we haven't got a proper one in the first team squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo mark Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 thought he said his prefered position was in "the hole"? wallace isnt that bad imo, will be decent enough after a run of games, with obua as cover for left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBjambo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 This poll is a waste of time.............NOONE HAS SEEN HIM PLAY:p Waste of time or not... Obua will be playing against St Midden and probably from the start as shabba will want to stamp some authority (his as opposed to Vlads) My prediction for the team for Sat would be: Kello Thomson Zaliukas Berra Obua Kingston Ruben Stewart Driver Ksanivicius Mole What i'd prefer to see would be: Macdonald Thomson Karipidis Berra Wallace Driver Kingston Stewart Obua Nade Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember him mentioning his 'natural' position. He played left back for Kaizer Chiefs, trialled at left back for West Ham, and plays the majority of his games for Uganda at left back. It's pretty clear thats his strongest position, sticking him somewhere daft on his debut in a brand new country purely because we're ****e in certain positions will cause him more harm than good imo.

He is a versatile player sdo playing him behind the striker is not playing him somewhere daft. Yes but it's a positon he can play but Kevin McKenna could play upfront, doesn't mean it's an ideal place to him. Rather he played somewhere where he was obviously more experienced in until he atleast settled into the team a bit. Rather than start in a position he barely plays(AM) because Audrey's pish, has a bad game and then all of a sudden he's a flop and a failure.

Rather than start in a position he barely plays(AM) because Audrey's pish, has a bad game and then all of a sudden he's a flop and a failure. Ksanavicius has always been pish, we get one good game out of him every six months or something. McKenna is a poor example, he was a centre half, who was used as an emergency centre forward and after watching him play there several times it is safe to say he was not a centre forward. Are you telling me Lee Wilkie is a centre forward? When Csaba first came, he said that the players at our club needed to learn to play in different positions, too many of them are only suited to one position. I think this shows that he is used to working with players who are more versatile. How do you know that Obua wasn't used as a left back because the Kaiser Cheifs were stronger in the other positions he can play in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chis101 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 while he is supposed to be good in a number of positions i dont see how anyone can decide without having seen him play... I do think that all of the above possitions could do with strengthening though so if i was prioritising i would say left back or 'in the hole' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamboRobbo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wheres the "I've never seen him play so I've no idea but I think we need an attacking midfielder more than a left back" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Gosling Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 He played left back for Kaizer Chiefs, trialled at left back for West Ham, and plays the majority of his games for Uganda at left back. It's pretty clear thats his strongest position, sticking him somewhere daft on his debut in a brand new country purely because we're ****e in certain positions will cause him more harm than good imo. He plays as an attacker for Uganda. I remember reading a quote that said people were surprised he played at left back in South Africa as he's such an attacking player.

CBjambo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Nade deserves another few weeks on the bench. Clearly not fit enough to even play 20 minutes. I can see us to playing... Macdonald Thomson Berra Zaliukas Obua Audrey Stewart Karipidis Driver Tullberg Mole Tullberg is injured and out for the next two weeks or so. I also think Karipidis may not start as he is carrying a knock from Saturday. For my money i'd like to see us start with Nade and Glen up front and then swap Nade for Mole/Makela when the big horse starts slowin up. Hopefully by then we are a couple o goals up and if Makela comes on we'll try and not let him ship any goals to the Midden. Still my preferred team: Macdonald Thomson Karipidis Berra Wallace Driver Kingston Stewart Obua Nade Glen Bench: Kello, Matej Rapnik, Palazuelos, Makela, Jonsson, Cesnauskis, Ksanavicius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGJambo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Okay, the last week or so some of on JKB have been debating where Obua should play. He's a left back or a midfielder. What do you think?Obua is not a left back. He was played there at Kaiser Chiefs by a clueless coach and he did OK. But he foraged forward a lot until the coach got the clue and played him there permanently. Then he scored spectacular goals and the rest is history. He is better at LB than the Stewart I saw last Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Play him anywhere as long as it stops the unbelievable whingin and moaning of what must be the most ridiculous set of fans that Hearts have ever had. All brilliant financiars,managers and football tacticians. The worst era ever for pleasing Hearts fans. Just let the management team get on with it, what happens..happens! Getting on there case every 5 minutes only hinders. Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicTs Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Will be disappointed if he starts at left back. We need him (and Kingston for that matter) in far more pivotal roles in the team and Csaba has certainly suggested he can play further forward.

Jambof3tornado Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would love to see him play as an attacking left wing back,with driver dropping back to cover when Obua makes his mazey run towards goal!!! He shoots,he scores!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Has to be left back, Wallace should not be in the team. Neither should Audrey so play Kingston and Stewart in the middle and Driver / Chesney left and right. Nade and Mole up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Behind the striker! He's a big strong lad, win a lot of headers and apparently has an eye for goal. If not then second choice - left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wallace was at fault for both goals so I would bring Obua in at left back.
