He's not. That's what McInnes tried to convert him into.

 

Well then I don't fuckin know 

 

Point is he's grafting wherever he's put 

 

Blame the MGMT and chairman if we can't get better than him left mid in Jan.

Ojo has been played out of position all season. 
 

Not his fault. 
 

Mintal what's being said about him. 
 

Blame Glass/Dave if we don't find an adequate signing this window to play on the left, and a sub RB. 

What is ojo’s position that he should be playing in 

ignore this just seen the comments above 

[Ke1t]

Not to sound overly optimistic... but I can see us winning this one. 

[alscotoz]

Win, but will concede goal.

All the hate on here for Ojo is a wee bit over OTT in my opinion. Fairly versatile squad filler, does a reasonable job in a load of different positions and always puts in a shift. As far as squad players go we've had a lot worse than him over the years.

Glass says his real strength is he understands everything he’s asked to do/picks it up straight away in any role he’s asked.

 

 

’Ojo. You will be playing on left today ok, play shit & confuse the opposition’

 

’ok boss’

Like Derek Young,  the ultimate versatile player as in he'll let you down all over the park.

Twice in midweek he almost sold the shirt with poor passes and decision making at the back and the few times he did something up front, his passes were poor.

Nae bad example min! I still don't think he's that bad as a utility back up player though.

If his wages reflected that of a utility back up player but they don’t.

THats the scary part, even Ojo himself has said he's good a great wage and didnt want to give that up.

He's a jack of all trades so to speak but a master of none. Puts in a shift but he's not near the level we require

He's not a squad filler though is he? He starts every bloomin match. If he was a fringe player who could be brought in once every 5 matches when someone was injured, fair enough. But he's shoehorned into the team every week in positions he's not suited to. I mean Tuesday night he's playing left wing position. Now anyone knows the main qualities for a player in that position is to be able to beat your opponent, put in decent crosses, create chances, and score goals. Ojo can't do any of those things. He's picked above McGinn, McLennan, Kennedy, even JET who all alegedly specialise in that position. That's a sad indictment of how crap they all are, but Ojo seems to get picked every week simply because he runs around a lot.

Exactly this. Nearly gifted them a goal when he bascially played a through-ball to Morelos.

As you say runs around a lot but rarely has any form of quality onthe ball, hopefully he moves on at the end of the season

Interesting you say that. You are correct but there’s so much love for Broony that it’s been over looked that he did exactly the same. Lost the ball several times and could have been costly. Had a couple of chances and skied them miles over. Yet he doesn’t get the stick Ojo gets.

Agreed but he did seem to motivate , inspire, and drive players on 

that’s why he doesn’t get the same “ stick” 

[aberdeen1970]

Thought it was one of Ojo's better games on Tuesday. 

It is what it is. Lots of energy and good work rate gets him in the team due to the overall lack of quality in the squad.

You are correct however in the grand scheme of things, Brown brings a lot more to the table than Ojo.

Ojo gives his all and it's not his fault that he is picked left wing, right back etc.

Aye it’s hardly Ojo’s fault he’s getting picked to play positions outside of his natural area. It is more of a reflection on the rest of the squad.

I thought it one of his poorer games, and that's me thinking he's a useful squad player.

[Betty Swallicks]

Coral have the away win priced at 45/1. 

Yikes!

One of the best videos Iv seen in a long time Scott brown is immense. 
 

Ojo should get rested on Saturday for all his running about he will need a break.

This is apparently our first match v a team from the fourth division in the Scottish Cup. Many many years since we drew a non league team as well.

That quite simply cannot be true

It is. 
Scotland expanded to 4 divisions in 95 I think, and AFC have never drawn a team from that 4th division since in the Scottish Cup.
