Justin Obikwu 16:07 - Oct 25 with 590 viewscpgerber

I know he has played for the dev squad recently - any reports on how he did? Its a bit like asking someone to describe the invisible man, but I am really keen to know if there is any prospect of him breaking through into the 1st team or why is he just warming the bench every week.

Odd that he didn't get minutes against Derby or Swansea. Indicates to me that Kolli has played himself back into favour and his development is higher priority now.

Assuming Burrell and Lloyd fit and firing by then, perhaps Obikwu should be loaned out in January. But who would take anyone on who hasn't kicked a ball in a year, so unless he plays between now and then, even that door is closed.

Of the 2 of them, Kolli deserves to be on the pitch instead of Obikwu at the moment.

It was a weird signing done in haste.

Could not get in the Lincoln side where Alfie Lloyd was more favoured by fans.

Never picked for dev squad or first team. Wonder what length his contract is. We always seem to have the need for one of these type signings in our squad. Suggests other issues, so hope the player himself is reasonably well in himself, but feel an agreement needs to be taken to move the player on elsewhere or compromise on a contract end, so all can move on.

Can't see this player ever representing us unfortunately - whatever the reasons are.

Everyone needs a clean break - I feel for the best of all concerned.

Wondered yesterday if he doesn't get 15-20 mins in a game we're winning comfortably at 4-0, then when will he?

He's only 22 and has been extremely unlucky with injuries so far. It may never happen for him here but on the other hand, anyone who saw him score his 'Wegerle v Leeds' style goal up at Bolton (albeit in the dev team) would have seen what he's capable of. Kolli 100% deserves his games at the moment but I wouldn't entirely write Obikwu off just yet and still hope he will come through and make a mark.

Never knowingly right.
