    Both signed long-term deals in the last 18 months or so, I think.

    Yay! Now how close is he to the first team, cos we could do with a striker with 8 or more goals in him to see us out the season.

    Pleased with this. He's certainly not the finished article but appears to be as quick/ quicker than Long and undoubtedly a better eye for goal. His movement, composure and finish for his goal at Huddersfield was way out of Long's league.

    Only 5'6. I have always thought you need to look out for the little 'uns, because they must have something really good about them to overcome the preference for tall players. Not going to be knocked over easily. Hope to be proved right:)

    Obafemi's missed his fair share of sitters to be honest.

    Try saying that when you're drunk. <laugh>

    He's small, he's raw and he's got pace to burn. I think he'll polish up a treat?

    At Leicester in the cup he also did very well at holding the ball up.

    Happy with this, think Ralph said he rated him too didn't he?

    Badly timed injury after getting his first goal and the confidence/momentum that would have provided.
    Pace is a huge plus, his movement looks good, technically not too bad, decision making also seems pretty good from the little I’ve seen and that’s a huge plus for a young player
