TRon Posted September 25, 2025 Share Posted September 25, 2025 1 minute ago, KaKa said: Yeah, I think he's more ready to play down the side, and it comes much more naturally to him currently. Considering Murphy's age it's well worth giving him opportunities there to see if he can be another option there longer term. We should still work on his ability to play upfront too though, as he has great attributes for that also if he can get better, and it will just mean he's a more complete and versatile player. Not to mention with Wissa being out for another month, we really could use the option of a pacy and powerful front man to take the sting off that loss. Obviously he's not in the same league as Wissa, but it takes a bit of pressure off Wotlemade to be all and everything up front. Also allows Gordon to just be himself, I think he's more dangerous coming in from wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have won some more trust with Howe, with that showing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted September 25, 2025 Share Posted September 25, 2025 Really pleased he got the 2 goals. Will do him the world of good. We just need him to chip in a few goals when called on. Learning more off Howe owa the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted September 25, 2025 Share Posted September 25, 2025 Woldernick is not a striker but looks very good in the role behind. I wonder if we keep Osula playing and Nick in behind for now. Osula looked more relaxed and composed last night, and that only come with game time.

Fak Posted September 25, 2025 Share Posted September 25, 2025 (edited) Everyone has put Will Osula down as a striker which is incorrect. Mr. Osula is half striker, half winger. Edited September 25, 2025 by Fak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted September 26, 2025 Share Posted September 26, 2025 Not sure if it's been mentioned but something I just realised as I was looking at our fixtures. We host Arsenal this weekend then play away at USG in Champions League. There's less than 72 hours between the end of the Arsenal game til USG match. Surely Gordon and Wolt play vs Arsenal so I imagine Osula may get some decent minutes at USG. Be grand if he could gain a bit of form from Bradford and make something of himself.

John P Posted September 26, 2025 Share Posted September 26, 2025 I've always thought Osula had a lot of potential from his brief appearances for us last season, but the fact that Frankfurt were willing to spend £30m on him makes me think even more that there is something to work with there and he's worth keeping. Frankfurt have made some great young striker signings over the last few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 26, 2025 Share Posted September 26, 2025 I love the recognition but I find it weird we tried to sell him. I guess it would've only been with a buyback clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the lad, he's really raw, but there's definitely a good player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
