Some of the crosses in the box pi ssed me off a tad. We do float far too many ball and Freeman very guilty of this. We need to whip them in with pace and just doing that would make smiths job allot easier as he could just guide his headers instead of having to create all the pace. Smith isn't a bad player, certainly isn't mobile enough but he is still very effective and a deserved starter at current.
I can't comment on oteh but I am going to most home games now so wouldn't mind seeing him.

Top goal scorer with what 7???? That’s simply not good enough for your figure head. He’s not s finisher, did you see chance he missed yesterday and generally the volume of powder puff headers which float into keepers hands. Plus as demonstrated twice yesterday you cannot play ball through for him to get onto because he’s not athletic enough to get onto the end of them.Originally posted by wortonranger View Post
Imagine Oteh running through on those balls. Having pace and power down middle would totally transform us as a force going forwards. Smith has part to play but it’s not 90mins hence why would alternate with Oteh
Your right he probably does need loan to really cut his teeth but weather it’s him or someone else Big Smith is not answerLeave a comment:

Disagree. Smith is experienced and clever - plus our top scorer. Oteh is raw with potential. A loan to League 1 I think then see.Originally posted by West Acton View PostLeave a comment:

I would have him replacing Smith. Like the guy he’s honest and has a role but he’s not a starter for me. Would happily see Oteh dipped in and alternated with SmithLeave a comment:

Maybe a loan spell in League 1 could do some good? Proper first team experience.Originally posted by Bluehoop View PostLeave a comment:

Not sure where Oteh has gone to be honest, injured maybe? That being said, who would he replace in the current setup? He's got to go some way to replace Eze or Smyth imo. Would like to see him back though.Leave a comment:

Have to say it's a joy seeing the young fellas, and I'm very pleased to see Manning back in.
I thought he did really well 2nd half of last seasonLeave a comment:

atm i think we need to find the right balance up front as it's something we've lacked all season. i like what smith has brought to the team lately, he's always a threat up front and brings much needed height to the team as we have relatively short players, he's an asset when it comes to defending or attacking set pieces and 9/10 he wins his headers. he does a lot more up front than washo that's for sure. oteh simply hasn't been able to get into the side given eze and smyth's meteoric rise to our first team but it might be worth giving him some games up top with eze and smyth just to see how it plays out, the rest of our team is pretty much secureLeave a comment:

Oteh
I had not seen much of Oteh. He is one of several promising youngsters being used by IH. He only played in two or three games. Scored in one, however, never been called again. Now of the present strikers, I do like Matt Smith, when we play to his strengths. However, I do believe that this current formation can play a bit differently to hitting long balls for Smith. The likes of Smyth, Pawel, Freeman, Eze and Luongo, can play a bit. We are well placed now and I think it is about time to re-introduce Oteh as the main striker. It is so refreshing to watch the likes of Furlong, Manning, Eze and Smyth doing so well. A striker is our biggest problem and they won't come cheap. I assume he is the only striker coming through the U23, apart from Smyth.Leave a comment:
