ExiledGeordie Posted Saturday at 19:12 Share Posted Saturday at 19:12 I’m surprised Osula doesn’t get more of a look in, Wilson looks miles off it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Prontonise Posted Saturday at 19:19 Share Posted Saturday at 19:19 Like I understand the throwing him on for the first 3/4 games but now it's like they are trying to do him a favour etc. Quite weird. Has he even had a proper chance on the sub cameos? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted Saturday at 19:19 Share Posted Saturday at 19:19 I'm saying this as someone who doesn't rate Osula and will be shocked if has a PL career with anyone but at least there's a chance of him doing something, being a nuisance at worst.

midds Posted Saturday at 19:27 Share Posted Saturday at 19:27 The only possible reason for bringing him on before Osula is for his experience, nothing else. However, that becomes irrelevant when you take into account how slow he's become and completely detached from the game, he can't even get anywhere near the ball, what's the point?

Decky Posted Saturday at 21:51 Share Posted Saturday at 21:51 We are absolutely desperate for depth up front. Should have sold him two years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted Saturday at 23:21 Share Posted Saturday at 23:21 (edited) Just a waste of time now. Been great for us, but he needs to go in the summer. Offers nowt at all, don’t think Osula is the answer by any means but at least he brings energy and pace. Edited Saturday at 23:22 by Danh1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted Sunday at 00:59 Share Posted Sunday at 00:59 The talk about him coming on and banging them in which occurred before he returned seems to have gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted Sunday at 01:37 Share Posted Sunday at 01:37 It’s just sad because not too long ago Wilson was playing his best football of his career scoring key goals for us to help secure 4th. Just really hurts to see him this way. Love the guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted Sunday at 10:53 Share Posted Sunday at 10:53 It’s desperately sad watching him at this point. I love him as a centre forward, I think he’s right up there in the PL era for us. But all we’re watching now is a player reducing his goals to games ratio. Make it stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted Sunday at 13:16 Share Posted Sunday at 13:16 Only thing I can think is because he's part of the 'leadership group' and he may kick up a fuss if Osula starts getting his minutes Seems the coaching setup are a bit blinded by loyalty with Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted Sunday at 13:56 Share Posted Sunday at 13:56 He started the match against Birmingham, and scored (in a fashion), but in all the sub appearances since, I don't remember him even getting a shot off. It is sad to see, really. He's just proving that he's not a very effective back up option anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseman Posted Sunday at 14:00 Share Posted Sunday at 14:00 He's always been incredibly confident in his ability for good reason, but recently i wouldnt be surprised if he's disappointed in his performances and decides to hang up the boots in the not too distant future because of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted Sunday at 14:02 Share Posted Sunday at 14:02 I could just about accept the "bringing him on for his experience" narrative if we were closing out a tight game, where Osula's wildcard nature probably wouldn't make sense. But the last three times he's come on, we've been 3 goals up, 5 goals up and 3 goals down. You could have stuck a lad from a Sunday morning team on who'd won a raffle and it wouldn't have affected the outcome. Therefore, I don't understand why you wouldn't use those scenarios to give Osula a taste of it and to think of the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted Sunday at 14:03 Share Posted Sunday at 14:03 It's sad to say, but its almost painful to watch him at the minute. The game just goes past him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted Sunday at 14:07 Share Posted Sunday at 14:07 (edited) Who said it looks like he's mentally checked out already? Seems to be the case. Yes he's aging and has had lots of injuries, but it seems clear as day he's not giving 100% anymore when he does get on. Just strolling around, occasionally threatening to break out into a light jog.

gbandit Posted Sunday at 17:36 Share Posted Sunday at 17:36 Disagree with that, I don’t think he’s being lazy out there, his body is just done. He can’t use it to either impose himself on defenders and bully them off the ball or to run onto loose balls. He is unable to offer anything at all, although I imagine he can probably still score from ten yards if he’s found in space but that’s just incredibly rare in the premier league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted Sunday at 17:47 Share Posted Sunday at 17:47 It's really not helping when you're looking for something to go at tired legs towards the end of the game and you bring on captain cripple. He's shot and I can't see him coming back from this now, I'm just really confused as to why Osula can't get in ahead of him, it makes zero sense.
