Acknowledging denis odoi

[General]

Seeing Tete back is a breath of fresh air and he's undoubtedly our best RB, but we are spoilt for choice and whilst some have whined about odoi not being reliable enough or as similar in quality, I just thought its worth noting he's done pretty well recently and has helped the team significantly, in particular in setting up goals and today I think he won one or two of our goals (and contributed to a clean sheet).

Just thought credit was due.

Agree fully General - he may have his critics but his versatility and positive attitude are great qualities within the squad. What I would call a real team player.
Would also add he does have an incredible spring when he jumps, often beating much taller opposition players!

[HV71]

Totally agree

[Woolly Mammoth]

A players player.

[Somerset Fulham]

Good post General.

I've never had any problem with the guy playing, he has been an absolutely fantastic servant to this club and can always be relied upon when needed.  :54:

[Terry Towling]

He is a very god player for us - an unsung hero.

[JimmyConway]

Acknowledgements aside his a steady Eddie. Not the greatest defender but whole hearted footballer.
Certainly not the answer to continue at right back if your looking at automatic promotion this season.

[Andy S]

Jc I think you are wrong. Two clean sheets so despite all the doubters he's doing a good job

[The Cravenette]

He will always be a legend for his goal against Derby in the play offs and him celebrating on the cross bar at Wembley.
Plus he has done a very decent job while Tete was out when a lot thought we would be doomed!

Some on here wish to berate Antonee Robinson for diabolical displays (their description) and now we have a thread acknowledging Denis Odoi; I understand and appreciate the thread but scratching my head at the differentiation between a player that makes consistent mistakes and has limitations between an adventurous player who has pace all over the pitch and can't be pinpointed for mistakes that have resulted in goals being conceded. Thank you Denis for your service to Fulham however I wonder whether the salary payments received could be matched away from Fulham.

Over recent games  Odoi has been consistent and returned reliable performances contributing to clean sheets and attacking moves. From what I see Robinson has been inconsistent and habitually  gives the ball away. Not much of a head scratcher to me.

[Motspur]

14 GOALS conceded this season:-

Coventry (4) - Ream/Onomah cock up; a penalty that was incorrectly awarded (Robinson involved), and two subsequent goals from RIGHT hand side of our defence

Boro (1) - Goal from shot from right hand side of our defence

Huddersfield (1) - Central defence scoring situation.

QPR (1) - Joe Bryan played and let Dykes run onto pass. Robinson came on after and at 1-1 we turned into 3-1 victory

Millwall (1) - Freak goal in centre off defence

Blackpool (1) - Conceded on the left but Seri defending could have been better

Reading (2) - Shot from right hand side which should have been defended better by Denis and second goal could have been defended better by Tosin.

Swansea (1) - Square defence line and Denis/Tim caught out by their forward to score.

Bristol City (1) - Offside goal allowed by officials.

Brum (1) - penalty conceded by Denis for rash foul.


Conclusion :
Antonee Robinson hasn't been involved in conceded goals in comparison to Denis. I like Denis for his versatility but please lay off Antonee as he's a player for progression and our future.

I'm sure it was his competitive debut for us.  Quite the most extraordinary thing I've seen on a football pitch.

I agree with this. Robinson deserves nowhere near the hate he gets on here, and Denis, despite him being a hero, is very much overrated on here especially as a defender.

[blingo]

Dennis is another championship player, nothing exceptional, but, he  always tries his best and is Fulham thru and thru.

I agree with laying off of Robinson. Sometimes it's very unfair criticism.

[perry geyton]

Love Dennis Odoi and I think he should continue to start, I wonder if Tete can start on the left ?

Robinson has potential but watching him winds me up, all huff & puff and no final ball

A little unfair Piri. He's improving and will continue to improve under MS. Tete on the right and JB or AR on the right.

Agree that was unfair. But I don't agree that Robinson is improving, sadly I think his last couple of games have been poor and it concerns me that he may not have further improvement to offer.
