He's out injured.  Doesn't really matter anyways as there is no place for him in the squad (I would say the same for Aribo who has looked lazy, unfit and disinterested evry time he has come on).  Leo, Robinson, Fraser, Fellows, Armstrong (in that role) are all ahead of him now.

Yeah dont know why we're bothering at all with Aribo, might as well have Sesay and/or Williams on the bench instead of him.

Already starting to think that edozie looks more dangerous then fellows he’s such a tricky dribbler it’s like he doesn’t even know what he’s gonna do himself but he’s so difficult to stop when  running at people .

gotta say it’s pretty poor on the clubs part for freezing him out he’s an excellent option to have it this level I hope bridges can be rebuilt

I like Fellows and he has a great cross on him. Just needs to speed some time practising running with the ball and shooting. Edozie, however, is an excellent sub for him. On Saturday, he was hooked off before he could do anymore damage to Leicester but he showed his potential and his runs (like Scienza, like Fellows) can cause all sorts of problems to championship defences.

Think we'll be seeing a lot more of him from now on.

I thought he was great on Saturday and when he was taken off by Eckert I thought it was the coach's classic and slightly idiotic knee-jerk 60 minute sub where he thinks that taking off our most threatening player was somehow a brilliant masterstroke like he does with Scienza, no doubt thinking he needed to preserve his energy or something.

Anyway, great to see him being something that we can draw on to unlock defences when we need a bit of directness and penalty-inducing dribbliness.

Like having a new player, as the cliche goes.

I am assuming that many of these 60 mins subs ARE planned (especially for Steward, Edozie, Romeu) as the sports science behind it could be something like "come off on 70 mins and recovery time is x days, come off on 60 mins and recovery time is x days -1. But if you play less than 60 mins you don't build up much needed match fitness" ... that kind of thing, so yeah, they probably are being over-managed, but as long as they're kept fit and we keep winning, the planned subs are fine with me.

I'm not sure he's inferior to Fellows... by coming back in after being iced out for so long and looking decent he's really showed his class. Could be a key player for us in the months to come.

He was fantastic in the championship last time round until he got mullered by a Norwich player (think it was that game) and got injured.

Just wasn't the same afterwards seemed more hesitant or scared to run at teams. And then got bombed out.

Dont think he has been managed well.

Agree we've totally mismanaged him. When he came back from injury we'd already signed Brooks on loan and he barely got a look in after. We didn't give him a chance to come back because Russ had his favourites. Then Russ preferred BBD to him and loaned him out straight away the next season.

If he leaves in the summer I feel it will be a big missed opportunity if we are in this league next year.

Lol preferring bbd is so shocking it’s laughable. But why did we seem adamant on freezing him out or forcing him into moving this season ?

Id actually go as far as to say that edozie is a world class dribbler even when he looks like he has nowhere to go he seems to still dribble past people somehow. I do think he is more dangerous then fellows myself fellows obviously a good dribbler also and with a good cross but I think edozie is a absolute nightmare for defenders legs going everywhere and so hard to stop, also probably carry’s more goal threat and enticing penalties

If you watch the slowmo of the penalty he won against Leicester the way he drifts past the defender and twists to get his body past is a thing of beauty. The defender thinks he's gotten between him and ball and then finds he's wriggled past by cleverly shifting his body past the block.

M'eh not convinced - you're all just in a good mood because we won and it's affected your normally healthy skepticism

[Harry_SFC]

His end product is still poor but yes he's a very good dribbler. Certainly better to have him in the squad than not.
