Will miss the next 4-6 games with a hamstring injury. If it's just the six games he misses he'll be back just before the leagues break for the WC.

Could be back for the Burnley game tomorrow week manager says post match. Would give him four games before the international break.

I love how direct Ogbene is. He had no intention there to hold the ball up. He knows that he has the pace to exploit space so his first instinct there was to run at the defender.

Should look at a front two of him and Obafemi. At first thought they'd be two similar for a front two but last window Obafemi showed he can be effective at dropping back looking for the ball. Think in the last window we saw him dropping deeper more often than Parrott.

He's almost a natural out and out striker at this stage even though he's also effective out wide for us.
I can understand Kenny though keeping him out wide with his pace if he plans to stick with one centre forward up front. I don't know how much we can depend on Parrott tbh when we already have three others in Ogbene, Hogan and Keane being more prolific in the Championship. Hogan and Keane still have a lot to prove in a green shirt but it's getting harder to justify starting Parrott in games imo. |

Very well taken goal. Great that he's back, hopefully he wasn't rushed into it.
We've been playing 2 up top for the last 4 games, don't think that'll change often. It is pretty remarkable how quickly he's adapting to the no.9 role though. It's only 12 months ago he started really. Would definitely like to see Ogbene & Obafemi paired vs Norway to see how they get on. Pace on the break vs France & Netherlands will be key. I don't think it's hard to justify Parrott getting starts, he's out performed Hogan & Keane by a large distance in an Ireland jersey which is what matters most. He's 10 years younger than them & still has a lot of room for growth. It's not a hard decision even if Hogan & Keane are performing better in the Championship.

Ogbene worked really well in a front two at Limerick alongside Tosi at times. Tosi was a bit of a target man but could play ball and think Obafemi and Ogbene could work especially against teams that could be got at with counter attacks.

Will be interesting to see where he ends up next season. Someone like Burnley might take a look in January even as they were keen to pay a few million for Obafemi at the end of the last window - but Ogbene can be got for free in the summer or for a low amount in January, so might be a better option.

Burnley will likely splash a bit more cash in Jan to help strengthen the squad. Five points clear and their last two games have maybe shown they'll start turning more draws into wins. Ogbene could be a cheaper option but will they see him as someone that could develop into a PL player, or have the all round play needed. |

The development point is an interesting one. He is improving all the time. That goal was obviously largely a result of his pace but there was a lovely little moment where he shifted the ball onto his weaker left side and then teed up the shot. The defender actually did very well to stay so close and show him the outside. Ogbene didn't mind the look of the outside. If he ends up with 15 Championship goals then that would represent significant improvement - whilst he has been playing further forward, I don't think such an improvement in output, if it did come to pass, would have been predicted by many.

Ogbene seems a classic example of a late developer, is improving in his mid 20s at a rate you maybe wouldn't expect from a player that age.

Has definitely surprised me from watching him with Limerick to the season he's having now. Always preferred him as a striker at LOI level but didn't think he'd be impressing at Championship level as one. Went over to the UK very raw and someone that stood out in the LOI because of his pace. But he's got a winners mentally, works hard and someone that's always backed himself.
