Ike Ugbo

[Stryker911]

Man of the match according to whoscored.

[sose]

really hoping he has a breakout season, great start so far.

[InglewoodJack]

Way too early and anything could happen, but I feel like he's gonna snap this season. Back in the UK, usually follows a bad season with a good one, I think he could really run up his numbers this year.

Really have no clue what you’re talking about, people are just glad he’s back on the score sheet

Good thing he will play more than half his games in Wales then?

He has taken a step down in competition. I expect he should get more chances in the Championship.

[FC_Hali]

Great start for him. Last year he started in transfer limbo and he never really got going. Hoping he finds some consistency.

EFL not the E&WFL

"balls won't fall so easily in england"

*ball falls easily in england*

ah, well, nevertheless,

[InglewoodJack]

Starting on the bench against Colchester in a cup match. Cardiff plays again on Saturday, so assume it’s load management 

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Well you aren't going to convince him to play for Canada like that.😉

 

Ugbo scores the winning penalty on Owen Goodman (Colchester) to put Cardiff through in the Carabao Cup.

[InglewoodJack]

7 saves for Goodman, 6 accurate long balls, good FotMob score, he had a pretty solid game it seems.

Surely he gets the call up to CanMNT if he continues this form.

Naw.... he'll be alright as long as he's playing. A lot of guys will be out of season once there team is out of the MLS playoffs.

Cavallini isn't playing. 
Russell-Rowe hasn't scored since May.
Hoilett doesn't have a team.

There's others who have dropped off since the GC.

I think he's referring to the fact that it will be long time before anyone gets called up to our National team...

[jonovision]

If he plays well in a Canada shirt anytime soon, it would be the first time.

Cavallini missed the start of the season because he was at the Gold Cup. He was coming off the bench in the Leagues Cup. I wouldn't call that not playing, rather easing back in.

I used to be a big fan of Cava. His hold up play, aggressive pressing and toughness in the box were attributes others did not display. But his legs are gone and he is not able to do those things effectively now. If Ugbo stays consistent with Cardiff, he replaces Cava.  I'm afraid we may be facing the same situation with Oso but hoping he can have a bounce back season next year.

I think Oso's game isn't that reliant on physicality but his struggles these past 12 months are probably directly to his injuries, and TFC being a tire fire. Hopefully next year is more stress free and injury free.

I'm less concerned with his skill on the ball and his clever playmaking which he still has, but more re his ability to keep up and track back on the defensive side. In  NL vs USA Reyna blew past him and Oso kinda quit on the play. There were others that were involved that came up short so not 100% on him. He's getting to the point where like Jnr, we may not be able to count on him as a starter even with 3 mids.
