Andrew Omobamidele

Andrew O. played very well today. Had some tricky moments to deal with, and was very confident and assured on the ball. Strong performance.

Andrew's recent appearances in a green shirt have been less than convincing. He too often makes careless passes out from the back, and seems to lack a commanding presence in the middle. Time is on his side, but I think he'll be surpassed by one or more of our other prospects in the next year or so.

I think its a little unfair to judge his ability against one of the top sides in the league whilst playing away with a team that is not only struggling against the fight for relegation but a team that has a multitude of problems off the field with sustainability and a points deduction.

Don't recall Andrew making any errors for any of the Tottenham goals but it is safe to say we have better options out there such as Collins and Scales as well as O'Shea despite his red card against Everton. Hopefully he can instill a little confidence in himself and crack on with his game but it is good to see a little depth in our squad of players playing in the premier league for once, even if they are at the lower end of the table.

None of Spurs goals have been anywhere close to attributable to Omobamidele, he's dealt with everything he's had the opportunity to deal with.

He could've been more alert to the cross coming in for the third to make it a bit more difficult for the Spurs player that knocked it on imo.

I've a feeling when they're going over the video analysis Santo or his coaching team won't be long saying it to him that could've done better there.

Overall I thought he did pretty well despite the result.

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Could've done better for Spurs's third and looked a bit too casual in challenging for the header as the ball came across.

There’s a reason why our great hopes at centre half are playing for relegation fodder. Not good enough (hopefully just at the moment)

Always like him and think he is going to be a big player for us, but the last two games he played for us made a load of sloppy passes! Think he has the ability though

Playing very well here so far despite Forest being a goal down.

I know we overrate our players at times but I think he's a classy player who can reach another level if he can stay injury free.

I think he's our best prospect in the defence department.

People go on about Collins in midfield but Omobamidele is arguably just as comfortable on the ball as Collins is to play in that holding role should we needed to fill a gap in there.

Played the full 90 mins tonight for Forest in a great 3-1 win over Fulham, a team who had been very good lately. Forest now up to 17th Be great to see him get a run of games to the end of the season

He had a chance of being man of the match. Made some important blocks.
