Title: Oscar Bobb starts Vs France
Post by: Steeeeeeeeeed on June 26, 2026, 07:56:12 PM
Big chance to put on a good show for him, I think he will have a good game.

Norway basically playing their 2nd XI, with 10.chnages, and no Haaland.

Both teams probably happy with a draw, and not too bothered about a loss, and French defenders will be taking it a bit easier than normal,.I think Bobb could shine.

Hopefully he will . I thought France must be playing Fulham as ITV hardly mentioned their opponents in their hour long build up. The only thing they got into was the " rowing " action of the supporters.
Nothing changes

If any British team should adopt and adapt the Rowing celebration it should be Fulham

Maybe without the Viking overtures.

France seem to be going for it so far, 1-0 up already and could have had 3, after 8.minutes.

Dembele's on fire! Not that it matters particularly, but this could turn into a real drubbing.

Edit: Haha I spoke too soon! Norway have immediately scored.  :slap:

Bobb, is doing ok he doesn't look like he will take anyone on but could catch someone out with his quick feet, I am a little concerned how he lets his man run past him, so far it doesn't look like he is going to be a player to track back.
Title: Re: Oscar Bobb starts Vs France
Post by: LittleErn on June 26, 2026, 09:36:02 PM
Bobb has had a good game and made an impact, but his team-mates haven't helped much. He looks to have quick feet and a burst of speed over a short distance but his slight stature is a problem for him.

Oscar Bobb just missed an easy chance.

Post by: Eton White on June 26, 2026, 09:49:48 PM
Bobb's off.

Thought he looked better in the second half. A bit anonymous in the first, but in the middle of everything in the second. It would be interesting to see him with the Norwegian first team around him. Think he'd be a bit more productive.

Bobb is one of the players making up the numbers along with Smith-Rowe, superfluous bang average that Fulham should never have bought for the silly money we paid. While we lose quality like Harry Wilson and Raul Jiminez for NOTHING, we have replaced them with far lower standard and without Marco Silva I worry for Fulham next season.

Watched the game and he looked lively but couldn't finish, basically was the story of our season in a Norway shirt

Bobb a Marco signing not worth the money on this occasion.
Title: Re: Oscar Bobb starts Vs France
Post by: Whitestone on June 27, 2026, 07:55:51 AM
I think he'll turn out to be a good signing in the long run. He's technically gifted but needs a goal for both Norway and Fulham to boost his confidence.

Disagree entirely, he's far from bang-average. Very technical, exciting and skillful footballer. End product only question mark but he definitely gets fans off their seats.

If you think Raul was worth keeping, you could have offered the club £100k out of your own pocket to pay his wages for 1 more year. Thought not!

You do realise it was Marco Silva that bought the likes of Smith-Rowe, Andersen and Bobb, and it was Marco Silva that wanted to spend another £60 million on Chukwueze and Ricardo Pepi, for all Marco's good qualities huge questions remain with regards to his transfer dealings.

Yes, can be quick and fast, and that's why I would want to see him take defenders on more frequently.  It seems often times when presented with a 1 v 1 situation, he backtracks or passes the ball off.  I'd like to see him take on defenders, I think he can win many of those duels.  And yes, slight of stature, and that's a bit of a problem for FFC flyweights, Bobb, King, Kevin, Chukwueze if he stays.  They have quickness and pace, but often easily knocked off the ball.  Lack of muscle.

For me he is going to be one hell of a player, but he looked like a boy out there, but I'm impressed that Norway are giving him him time.

The BBC praising Bobb for his pass and the difference he m made when he came on.

It was one of those rare passes that make you go 'Oooooohhh'

Fabulous.

A bit disappointed with Norway today, but glad they got through, they now play Brazil in New York which feels huge, the Norway fans in the Big Apple.

Hoping he comes back full of confidence under a new manager. And if it is AA hope he really brings out the best in him. If AA plays two CAMs that may actually favour him

Very nice through ball from Bobb to set up game winner for Norway.  Kinda makes up for Berge getting pantsed on the goal conceded.
