Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just to say that I thought he looked pretty handy as an attacking threat against St Midden when he came on. He won his headers and had three shots on goal (I think). For a first game back after longish term injury, i thought he looked sharp and hungry (well anyone that skinny must be right enough) and he was unlucky that two of his on target and hard shots were blocked by a resolute Midden defence. welcome back to the squad Obua.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yep, hopefully he was being put in the shop window. I would like to see us bring in a box to box central-attacking midfielder in his place too but... As long as that is the sort of effort and threat he will give us until he moves on then... he is absolutely fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We_are_the_Hearts Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Wise from JJ to give him game time as big Kev will be suspended soon enough I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ and his team deserve so much credit for getting something out of Obua, a player who was a gutless chancer under Laszlo. Just another sign of how important having a proper manager is.

His career will have peaked at Hearts. No-one is going to take him on at the money that he is currently on. So like Nade and Kingston, he'll be here until his contract runs out.

Think that's very harsh. He wasn't fully fit and was being asked to play as a wing back, a role even I know he's not suitable for. If he can perform like he did in the last 10-15 minutes of the match last night on a regular basis he'll be good for us.

BobbyJenkins Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Looked decent enough when he came on, tidy and got on the end of a few things. Some will never give the lad a break tho.

He just needs a run now I agree. I have always thought that David has it in him to be a good player but to give him a run means dropping someone ! He may come in for KK when he gets suspended but that is hardly a run. It's a very nice dilemna for JJ to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lest we forget his 90th minute winner at Easter Road Or his quite superb MotM performance in the derby prior to that. Good option to fling on for the final few minutes and to deputise for Kyle when injured/suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Mothy, i don't think your drunk at 14.21 hours, but how can you possibly rate this guy in SPL football. He aint suited to it, perhaps Quatar in the 45 degree heat but that's all.

I'm tipsy! Still rate him as an attacking option though. His two chances with his feet were well blocked by an "everyone behind the ball" St Midden defence but both looked hard and on target. I would gladly swap him for an attacking central midfielder of good quality but i think he is more than good enough to do a job for us when called upon just now.

Del1812 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Looked good when he came on. But I'm going to have to agree with DH here. He's not very good.

portobellojambo1 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I agree with both DH and FJ. He performed the basics well last night, having come on when the game was all but over. However, I still don't think either he or Calum Elliot are good enough to be considered as the sort of fringe players the present squad needs to call on. There are better out there, and the present management squad are the right sort of team to go out and get them. Either, preferably both, C Elliot and Obua should be moved on if possible during this window, and replacements sought As I said above, I have no criticism of what he did last night, it was just the basics that had to be done, and he managed that. However, the thought of either he or Calum Elliot coming in as replacement should Kevin Kyle pick up a suspension is pretty frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely understand where you are coming from PJ but... *Obua has done well since getting a game under JJ. *Elliot is up there with our top goal-scorers right now with far fewer games than those above him.
