Hi, QPR fan here with a bit of insight on Oteh for you.

Oteh is a decent up and coming striker who could go on to be a good championship striker imo. He's fast, strong and has an eye for goal and over the past 2 seasons he's been on the fringes of our squad and even scored a couple of goals. When he went on loan to Wallsall last season most QPR fans were pretty pissed off about it as none of our strikers had lit the world on fire and Oteh was doing well in his sub appearences for us.
He's scored bags of goals for our U23's though and despite his short size he's pretty stocky and able to muscle his way past defenders.

Yes, he didn't do well at Wallsall but that club is a bit of a mess anyway atm and he wasn't really given a proper run of games as most of his appearences were off the bench.

He started this preseason as our only striker at the club and had the chance of cementing his place in our team but didn't do well during his runouts. I think he needs to rebuild his confidence in a league that he can grow in and this move to you guys in League 2 will do him good and you'll reap the rewards from him.

He is very highly rated at QPR though and the last 2 attackers we've loaned to League 2 over the past 2 seasons (Eze and Chair) tore the league up and are now very much established first teamers. It's not all doom and gloom, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by Oteh if he finds his confidence again

 

Eh?

Donaldson has a great turn of pace. It's one of thr first things I noticed about him, especially with him being 35.

 

He's a strange one Donaldson. He's not the sharpest over the first few yards but once he gets going he's rapid. He went on one run with the ball against Northampton where he got us 40 yards up the pitch and no one could catch him - not their defenders or our own players. I remember thinking 'bloody hell, he's 35'.

He's got great awareness. Great movement off the ball. But his technique is strange. At times he does unbelievable things but then he'll trip over his own feet.

 

More players give more options but sooner or later you have to
stop decorating the cake and make it edible.Or work, if you get
my drift......Lets hope this lad can put the ball in the onion bag!

 

Thank you @qprfan, for your balanced write up. I am sure he will do well, he has the best strike force in league 1&2 to help him develop. Unfortunately, he will be on the subs bench atm, but I am sure he will get his turn.

 

Don’t know the lad tbh, but not got a problem with players like this coming in as backup. Problem is we didn’t sign a defensive midfielder!

 

Who knows?

But we were always signing a back up, and as a back up he might just do.

 

@qprfan Thanks for that info. Sounds a promising signing for us. Lets hope he goes back to you at the end of the season with a promotion on his CV. Now THAT would boost his confidence.

 

who the devil is he?

can't be as bad as Omari though, so theres that.

 

I can't get my head round this. yes we need a striker, but we also are criminally short out wide, and don't actually have a midfielder that can win the ball.

 

He's not even come up to Bradford yet. Has the definite feel of a last minute panic signing, which is ridiculous given we've known for weeks we need a replacement for Doyle.

 

young and hungry .

 

Love the tone of this post!!!

 

Scored against Leeds in the FA Cup last year. So good start to welcome him here

 

He did better when he was on than the whole team did in the first half.

 

Phew, everything’s all right now

 

You sign it off "A new hope". Wonder how accurate that is.

 

Wonder if he asked Nahki about City

 

Who knows. We could be in for a surprise!!
