The guys on CL who thought he could be included straight away have no idea about fitness in the modern game. Good to hear Bowyer sensible words about getting Erhun up to speed. If it takes two or 3 weeks before he is sharp enough to make the bench, then so be it. The Bolton situation would have affected his mind and well as his fitness. Bowyer will decide when Otzumer can join the 18 man squad.
He played in Bolton's first league game this season so i guess most people thought he was already match fit.
So did 7 kids from their academy who aren't even shaving and a guy from the ticket office to make up the number !

Not Charlton fit ;-)
Many a true word, and all that...
I'm not going to criticise Bolton's fitness regime (I don't know what it is), but Bow wants his players to be running as hard at 90 minutes, as they were in the first minute.
I imagine most players coming into the club would have to make some adjustment.

When Bowyer says up to speed, he probably means playing in his formations and proving they can provide the required workrate of a Bowyer side.
Fantastic 60 minutes from the wee man. Having Oztumer will help Jonny Williams as the last 3 years tells you that Jonny can't Play back to back 90 minutes. Mainly because he gets lumps kicked out of him. Both JW and Erhun played well this evening.
Thought he had a great game and when he's fully match fit he will provide tons of opportunities for Taylor and whoever else Bow picks to play up front - doesn't shirk a tackle either! Sure he will become a fans' favourite.
Williams is fouled a lot. I think refs need to get on top of that.
Agree but sometimes he appears to be 'looking' for it?
He was fouled 6 times I believe in his 30 mins on the pitch. It was clear they targeted him and think it was only the last foul a player got booked. A clear plan which the ref couldn't see.
On the subject of Cullen it amazes me that Bolton barely gave either him or Oztumer a chance in the Championship
They had a great opportunity with two class players (I know they werent at the club at the same time whilst Josh was a bit younger) but they've seriously missed out!!
Parkinson's football was always pretty industrial.
I don't know, it was pretty decent that first year in League One, when we finished 4th. We even started that season with 6 successive wins, scoring for fun.
The next season though, he'd lost several of his better players and had to replace them with freebies. On that small budget, he had to adapt the football to the standard of the players he had.

Reality for Forest is he may be needed on the bench given its 3 games in 8 days

Think Oz is going to be a crowd favourite.
We’re off to see the wizard
the wonderful world of Oz
Because of the wonderful things he does...
(can’t temember the bit in the middle).

just wondered if he’d ever watched red dwarf?

He didn't do too badly either.
For when Otzumer reaches Chris Solly’s height of excellence
