Waconda Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Admittedly facing a CH in Atkinson for most of the game so was always going to win a foot race. But if we are looking for a winger option in January and Derby are having a "Fire sale" then might be an affordable option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to promote our win but to talk about a player that isn’t as good as Semenyo . The players you’re on about was shite , he was their only outlet. He managed to isolate Atkinson to cause a problem for 20 minutes , that’s it it . Go back to waiting for another defeat to get your fix sunshine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I thought he was bright and got in some decent positions, but ultimately didn't really produce anything. Flattered to deceive a bit for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denbury Red Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 The guy had some real pace - particularly when he took the ball on the run. His crossing was work in progress - but if we wanted some real pace on the wing then he could be worth considering! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised he wasn't booked. Seemed to have a bit of a nasty streak. Kicked out at Atkinson and went through Massing a couple of times. On the ball he did look dangerous once he got up to speed. Only 19 and a great first name of Festy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Old Boy Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 As old as 19? Looked really childish run up to the ref waving his boot! Also, looking to go down (like Derby) all the time, certainly not a type of player I enjoy watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Here's some stats on him (Festy Ebosele is his name) Edited December 4, 2021 by YGBjammy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 About as exiting and hopeless as Sproule in a City shirt. All pace no product. Perhaps some potential, but many frustrating ifs in his 'ability'. Nothing like Zaha or Kyle Walker when they were Championship youngsters.

mozo Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I thought the kid was clearly Derby's best outlet. For some reason after getting Pring booked and winning a dangerous free kick, and almost a penalty, he resisted taking on Pring late in the game and just passed the ball infield each time. Big potential though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Was OK, but if he concentrates on his finishing as much as he does on his acting, he'd be a terrifying prospect. Should have been booked for his second hopeless dive in the box IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) He was Derby's brightest and most eye-catching player, and much of their attacking play came through him. However, I'm not sure he had the better of Atkinson - in fact for a 6 foot plus CB I thought Atkinson dealt very well with a quick 19 year old winger. A number of times he blocked the cross or ferried young Ebosele out of play. We often find fault with Dasilva for lacking that final ball into the box or for lacking the shot on target. I think that Ebosele would attract much the same criticism. He'd be an interesting buy for some teams, and at 19 obviously could develop a lot over the next 5 years, but I'm not sure he'd be much of an upgrade on Pring, COD or Dasilva for us.

Port Said Red Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 8 hours ago, Sir Geoff said: Thought Atkinson had him in his pocket for most of the game. That's the way I saw it too. There was clearly a plan to deal with him and the right back who were trying to overload us in that wing. Atkinson almost played as a left back with Callum more of a right midfield player, to contain the right back. I thought the right back looked the better player to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 You've got to laugh at the stick he is getting on here. If he was our 19 year old you would all be raving about him. When he goes over he's a diving, cheating little bastard but when Benarous does the same you love him for his shithousery. People talking about petulance, well as funny as it was what the **** is kicking another players boot 30 yards up the ******* pitch then? As for diving - the Pring booking was 100% correct and the O'Dowda incident was 100% a foul, we got away with that one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hope we sign a powerful fast winger. We definitely could do with some pace out wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I mentioned Festy Ebosele in another post. Yes he was there outlet, and I thought he was by far there best player. came up through the academy and Irish born of Nigerian descent. Seems was, is, a right back but Rooney has seem something in him and pushed him forward and really rates him. Some transfer market web site claims has a value of £225k. Derby reckon he’s got real future in front of him. So, he is right back pushed further forward. If Derby have to sell players would like to see him here.

Henry Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 He looked like one of those players that opposition fans like based on one viewing as he was fast. I’m not sure I’d wanna watch him every game as he doesn’t seem to know what to do with the ball. Perhaps that’ll improve with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a opinion but doesn’t seem to understand his own opinion . Slags off the manager at every opportunity but hasn’t a opinion on how to resolve the problem. Makes up lies about a split in the squad . More importantly he has no grasp on the fact that the shit we're in was put in place long before Pearson got here. Oh & the steaming turd on top of all his posts are. When you actually challenge him on anything he doesn’t reply . That tells you the sort of gobshite he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
