I haven't minded him so far. Apart from the bit where he revealed we spent £350k on Bakayoko.

Didn't the ex-players association change their stance on going to St. Andrews?

Can't they get Chris Cattlin on every now and then ? His love of CCFC is second to none.

His voice isn't exactly radio friendly but he's doing alright. I think he's still settling into the role. However, the thing about Junior Brown playing was pretty bizarre and given he was on the coaching staff last season not a mistake I'd expect him to make.
Benno is more exciting but his analysis at times isn't much better than if they'd asked a fan to do it. His fixation on getting down the wings is up their with '4-4-2'. I agree that Cattlin always seem to offer good analysis and cares about the club.

I do go to the matches (season ticket), plug in my radio and listen to the commentary. Missed the first game as was on holiday, on got back Tuesday evening. Is that OK with you?

Dull as dishwater but a good asset - someone who's been on the staff with MR and is probably best placed to give insights into the management team and how they're approaching each game.

Ex-players association changed their stance on going to St. Andrews and now will have players attending.
Have to agree Oggy is quite boring on the radio, very monatone voice,

He's been pretty good so far, offers a lot more insight than most of the other guests they have on.

OK, your choice and fair enough.
However doesn't it drive you crazy hearing stuff that is so blatently wrong? Oggy's summarising and behind the scenes knowlege I can accept and respect, but the 'commentating' is dire.
I hanker after the good old days of proper commentary, 1960s style.

I don’t think he’s been too bad. Would like different people. Whealan does it for Leeds and they love him.

At least he actually knows who we're playing each week

He contrasts Clive perfectly: Clive is very excitable and has a perfect radio voice, Oggy has a lot of football knowledge and knows who all our players are.
He's fine.
Yes his voice is a little monotone and boring, but he actually brings some decent analysis to the table. Having worked with the majority of the squad he's able to point out various strengths and weaknesses, or points out how we're set up/trying to play.
Certainly a million times better than Martin 'state the obvious' Winch.

Crikey, give him a month or two. I would imagine being a new presenter behind a live mic can be stressful even with the knowledge he has. Maybe a stepping stone into a new career.

I agree its been good to have someone talking about the team who has a recent insight in the club and from a players perspective.
Who cares about his voice its better than listening to someone who hasnt played the game for 50 years or clive who cant even get the players names right

I agree that Cattlin is very entertaining. Also thought Andy Blair was ok, and more surprisingly Noel Whelan & Gary McSheffrey too.

At least he knows what he’s talking about & has some sort of technical knowledge & a sense of the tactics & real insight. Some of the guests they have on are garbage & haven’t been to the City since the Prem days & have no clue about the club.
I think, given he’s only just started, he needs a little time!

What did he say about Brown?

It's the BBC playing it safe, with Oggy, ie won't say anything to upset Robins and the players .
Dave Bennett on the other hand just might speak his mind and say something controversial.
