It is effect, right? Not affect?
Anyway, the transformation of Funso Ojo has been mightily impressive. I honestly thought he was off and never even realised he was still on our books until our first game of the season.
He's been a stand out player in his new position. Looks interested, sharper and keeps digging in late on when others aren't.
It got me thinking, how many more Funsos have we let go because of DM playing them out of position. We could have had some cult favourites if only they had been given a little more game time. Have we missed out on big money because we just couldn't get the 'player' out of them? Or is Funso a one off?
Simon Church? The Mclaughlin guy from liverpool? O'Connor sort of took a second wind before fizzling out. There were good things being said about Gleeson and Forrester. Maybe, just maybe we could have Funso'd some of them.
Safe to say Taylor and Tate were never going to catch the Funso effect.

Looking forward to seeing Kennedy.

I think it’s a good point, not just about players bought-in but also those coming through our own ranks: the Rosses, Shankland, maybe Anderson with the right coaching and proper chances, Virtanen.Originally Posted by Aldo1983
Kennedy, yes – he did look a player with a future when he was at St Johnstone. Now reviving his career looks harder than reviving those of his forebears John F and Bobby. For all the performance analysis and coaching, much of it must be down to luck. Where else would Cosgrove have become an in-demand star for half a season?

I remember him talking about what type of player he saw himself as. A midfielder who sits in front of the defence, wins balls, tidies up and gives it to players who would create things. That's how he's been used his whole career...so fair play to Glass for seeing him as capable of doing something different.

Still don’t get the new love in for Ojo. Yes, he’s better, but he’s still not great. And he is definitely not a right sided attacking midfielder. He takes too many touches and his final choice is not great.
With Hedges coming back from injury and Watkins playing up in that area, I can’t see Ojo starting much.
Trialist
Ojo has a grand total of 5 career goals, that's 1 goal every 2 seasons, so i guess the goal against hearts was probably the last goal we will ever see him score for us
He's not a wide player, hes playing wide because Glass signed every central midfielder who could get his hands on and totally ignored the problems at the club with having no decent wingers or attacking midfielders other than two old has beens in McGinn and Hayes

Glass constantly sticking Ojo in an attacking role is as bad as McInnes using Taylor to grab a goal. They both deflect from the reality we are short of proper players for the roles and it just comes across as desperation.
Hall Of Fame
His shooting is absolutely atrocious, almost as bad as Scott Brown’s, no wonder he rarely scores. Ferguson is the only midfielder with a decent shot. Unless the forwards score, we will struggle badly. Glass must see that, surely. Doesn’t look good!

Ojo, Lewis and Ferguson need a boot up the backside and dropped for a stint. None of the 3 have offered anything of note especially the last few weeks.
