Agreed- for an attacking player, He doesn’t have that instinct or drive to ever look confident of scoring/assisting in those dangerous areas. Now in his 6th season with us, 141 games, 7 goals in that time- Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I thought he was alright for the 8 mind on the pitch.... 2 runs behind their back 4. Albeit the ball wouldn't come down for him with the 2nd, and the defender got back; and injured him in the process. That was more than any of our other wide men managed in the remaining 85 mins. Not his biggest fan due to his inconsistency. But i think he started the season ok today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nest Egg Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Six years on and people are still parroting the same old stuff about COD being a key player, this will be his season, looked lively, etc. It was a shame to see him forced off the pitch early as I felt that a strong game from him with the fans back would help his case a lot and make the COD-moaners like me look like idiots. However, I remain staunchly of the opinion that when it comes to what he has brought over the last six years, he's just not the answer. Sorry. If he was up to it, he surely would have proven that by now. Funnily enough I always get flack on here for saying stuff like this about him, despite the very clear evidence we have all seen for SIX YEARS now. The obvious disclaimer here is that I have always wanted my opinions about him to be proven wrong and for all my posts criticising him to bite me in the arse. But if we are being honest, that is not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Sadly it was a classic O'Dowda moment, should have scored, didn't, got injured. Inept and/or unlucky...either way you couldn't hope to build a team around him on the basis of his performances in a City shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 O'dowda seems to be one of those players that have all the attributes managers love and trains like a demon, but when it comes to game day very rarely brings the A Game. He is a traing ground hero, and managers love them. Really great managers acknowledge that some players are crap on the training ground but can be devastating in a game ala Le Tisser. For me O'Dowda is a managers training wet dream. Unfortunately us fans only see the very occasional flash of brilliance where it really counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hustler Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Strange one for me. He does seem to get picked by a lot of managers so must be doing something right. However, I personally have never seen him offer a meaningful impact on any game to warrant the continued inclusion. I think today’s cameo summed him up in a nutshell.

Yup- maybe I am. But as others have said, I’ve waited 5 full seasons to see an impact from him, and sadly they’re few and far between- I would love him to “release the shackles” and show me on a match day what all his attributes should display.

Agree that his Grealish like ability to draw a foul is a real asset- especially late on is games. I’d like to see Scott and Palmer in the team more to allow them to build some moment and a 4-3-2-1 system although lacking width could help us keep it on the deck, and not be over exposed as you could have James/King/HNM as the 3 at the base.
