    Didnt do much, likes to drop the shoulder and pass forward. 
    Get rid, we don't do forward passing 
    To be fair he only completed 50% of the passes 😂 and even the commentator shrugged. Was a poor standard so was surprised he didnt excel. It was disapointing but i still hope.

    Kenya have a new manager every time I look. It is Benni McCarthy now.

    Small squad too. I noticed Uganda have used the friendlies to use different players, wonder if Kenya are doing the same

    Yeah possibly. Hopefully not attitude or injury!

    Rumours on X that he didn’t return on time from international duty and that the club couldn’t get hold of him initially to find out why he wasn’t in the squad for Kenya’s last game.

    Where this rumour falls down for me is that we’d just have asked the Kenyan FA why he wasn’t playing right? That and the fact a lot of the African teams used their friendly game(s) to rotate and he’d played the competitive games. 

    It could be true, of course, but it feels to me like someone making something up based on his previous and the fact he didn’t play in a friendly

    Campbell was late coming back as well due to travel issues could be a number of reasons ..if Coventry not fit should start today needs to establish himself not going to do that with 10 here and there

    I need a more reliable source than uptheaddicks9 on Twitter before I start calling Ouma out for being unprofessional.

    If I was credulous about this, it's because it's probably actionable if made up. Lawyer up Timothy

    Yeah I don't really know what to make of this. Will wait and see if Rich mentions anything.

    Leaving aside whether he was late or not. He has been a desperately poor signing so far. I would have preferred to have kept Ibby Fuller and also have Mwamba in the squad ahead of him.

    Seems he's got previous-from Nov 25.

    Some fans have already decided to hate him and he could walk on water and some would find fault. 

    Totally unverified rumour and I will ignore it until someone officially says it.  

    Wish our fans didn’t want destroy our own players all the time.  If NJ and the coaching staff sees fit to play him then that’s good enough for me 
    Thanks for the total overreaction. I don’t hate him like I don’t hate anyone, and I won’t comment on the rumours. But I have seen him play in every game he has played for us and MY opinion, I am allowed one you know, is that he has been desperately poor for us. Yes he might come good for us but I can only comment on what I have seen. Luckily it was only a loan.

    He's played 120-minutes in the EFL... How anyone can have a genuine opinion on whether someone is good enough or not on that basis is baffling - Why the rush to cast judgement? - Would say that is just as much of an overreaction - Of course you're allowed your opinion, but voicing it out loud means you're giving us a right to challenge that opinion

    Chill your beans out, I wasn’t referring to you.  Everyone is allowed an opinion but it’s literally impossible to have formed an especially accurate one with the amount of game time he’s had - hence I’ll put my faith in the coaching staff who see him every day.

    he did this “late return act”  in the past and it’s just convenient that it’s another opportunity for certain fans to beat him and the club up over it.

    For the record, I want him to succeed. Only sharing what I’d seen.

    I am only judging him on what I have seen. Which is a small sample size I agree. But all I will say is that I have not been impressed. It is not an overreaction at all. I hope he does succeed but I had the same reaction when I saw Ahadme play for the first time. Been watching us including U18s and under 21s for over 60 years and am a good judge of a player.

    He was. It was the third game he didn’t play which was a friendly. When the club announced his call up they said it was for the two competitive games and didn’t mention the friendly at all.

    Lloyd Jones was very poor for us in his first few matches.

    Don't believe for one second there is a pile on with this guy. I think I'm a fair judge of footballers but I have two non-negotiables 
    1) no pulling out of things 
    2) leave it all on the pitch 

    Unless you are Lionel Messi/Ronaldo/Paolo Di Canio or someone of that ilk those are the requirements as a baseline. Ouma did not ingratiate himself to me when he fannied out if a header in our own box in the Tottenham game and he hasn't done anything since to make me think he is a suitable player for us in terms of what I can see of his character or his ability as a footballer. He is no more dynamic than anyone else we have which is what it is, I don't think Jones is looking for that quality in midfield judging by who we have signed. I don't tend to forgive players who pull out of things
