[JustDan]

Fucking beauty

[ThePeetmix]

What a hit, son!

[ThePeetmix]

is there any fitness news of rossiter?

Probably will be back from pre-season.

[Caston]

Bit lucky though, Sinclair clearly tripped the keeper up

Shame, hope he gets a few steak dinners down him until then.

Ojo reminds me of Stewart Downing.

Odd comparison, don't see it at all myself.

It's the hair isn't it.

That second goal was made by Sinclair tripping the goalie!

[KiNki]

Its their mutual love of reggae music.

[b_joseph]

Fuck, Ojo just treated Leicester like a bunch of toddlers then.

[Djimi Smicer34]

If only Downing had the close control that Ojo showed there.

[stevelecool]

Ojo's absolutely mad.

[proudred]

The timing of the subs is crap 2 min to go & put in yesil how is he going to regain his form.

Another game thursday

[istvan kozma]

If the penny some how drops with Ojo, watch out.

[dakid]

How?

He isn't particularly skilful and when he can't use his pace he doesn't really know what to do.

Youth game, returning from injury, planned rehab.

That's certainly a new one...

This is the worst opinion.

hmmm..  no just garth crookes who trumps him for me

Safe to say I disagree there.  He needs to develop more of an end product and improve his decision making but that will come with experience as he progresses.  Having just seen him run rings around that Leicester defence with a piece of close control and technique that any player would be proud of, I really don't believe that Ojo is lacking skills-wise.

[Kochevnik]

i will raise you Craig Burley and Michael Owen,

You win.

And the lad that says Ojo has no skill?  Have a word, mate.  That is just ignorant.  I'm sorry, I don't mean to be harsh, but his skill level is one of the best things about Ojo.  Not consistent with it, to be sure, but he has technical skill in spades.

[B0151?]

Did you not just see him skip past those players near the end at the byline with superb close control?

[SerbianScouser]

Really liked the look of Randall at DM last two games. Never really noticed him that much at RB but as a DM he really looked the part. He can move with the ball efficiently, he gobbles up the spaces, ferocious in tackles, really really interesting prospect for that position.

[JustDan]

I do like Beale. He's very honest & up front in his interviews.

So true.

There can be a lot of questions about Ojo's decision making, application etc. but the one thing you would never doubt is his skill on the ball. That's his standout attribute.

I never said he was lacking close control! When I said skilful I meant he doesn't have a trick like Kent with his dummy and drag back the last night to beat his man. That instance at the end is what Ojo is good at the same for the penalty during the week.  Running at the defenders using his pace. When a defender gets tight to him do and stands him up he struggles and he doesnt know what to do..

I've seen him plenty of times over the last 2 years deal with that situation fine. When he won that same penalty, a defender was standing him up and he just beat him, drawing the foul.

Ojo's downfalls are his final ball and his inconsistent decision making.

He was capped for England u16s as a midfielder so he has form.
