Not good news on O’Dowda

O’Dowda coming back?

Bulut: “He was starting with us and then he got a small injury, because of the injury he had that can happen. It happened to him. Now it looks like six weeks (from today) until he’s back playing, hopefully March.”

“We are not lucky with this.”


O’Dowda has played only 6 games out of 30 League and Cup games.

Time for him to go! Cannot be carrying players every season like this.

I know people get injured, but he’s becoming the new Vassell.

Bristol City fans said we were very lucky to get a good season out of him last season as he was starting to fade badly with them.
High wages.

But did excellent last season.

He played out of position all season and was still one of our better players. I know the Championship is a hard league with the Tuesday/Saturday format, but I think it’s time for him to drop down a level.

He played virtually every game last season

No he didn’t. 25 league games played with 3 goals scored. Last time he completed a full season was 15/16 for Oxford United.

Very good for us last season, but he has missed all of this season so far and looks like he’ll be injured a while longer.

I wouldn’t say get rid of him because he has quality.

But this means we need to sign a left back this window to compete with Collins.

Then we can give O’Dowda time to recover for next season.

He’s just one of those players who are injury prone. How many of those have we had over the years? We don’t need anymore players stealing a wage in the treatment room. His wages are high and he’s not kicked a ball in I don’t know how long.

Perhaps bulut might need more than 6 new signings now.

Get rid in summer, sicknote.

He's a busted flush, sadly. Shame as he's quality and seems a decent lad in interviews.

The new Darren Anderton.

Add him to the huge list of crocks we've signed over the years
