Given the reception club legends like Pack and Flint have had playing for Cardiff one would think O’Dowda (who achieved less in six years then either of the aforementioned did in six games) will be ridiculed mercilessly next season. 14 minutes ago, Fordy62 said: Retire now.

They will be looking at that highlights reel and thinking they've signed a world beater. The reality is, that a number of the "Highlights" have him in an Oxford shirt, which just about tells you everything about what he's achieved with us over the last 6 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedNachos Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Am I the only who's feeling mildly sad at this, he came to us with an exciting air around him, and has shown sparks of excellence. However, through injuries and positional problems, he's never reached close to the potential I've longed for him to acheive.

He is the runt of the litter, always injured or taking the easy option. As i say, i am probably being unkind, but lets see how often he plays for Cardiff next season? PS. Just read on the Post forum, that Callum states that at 27, he is just about to hit his prime? Well that's that then?, because if COD ever hits anything?...............he's out injured for 3 months?

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 He left Oxford at the same time as Kemar Roofe and IIRC we were told Callum would end up being the better player of the two. Neither have really torn it up though - Roofe did well at Leeds to start with, went to Anderlecht and did OK but seems to have plateaued a bit at Rangers. He`s had the better career out of the two though I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I thought he would end up somewhere like there, he will suit their direct style of play. Plus he scored a screamer against them once. At the end of the day his goals/assists/hookedathalftime stats are absolutely horrific and it was right that we got rid. He is a Championship level player but only showed it here for about 3 months in 6 years. He might do well at Caerdydd but it wasn't gonna happen for him here so its a good move for all parties I think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3City Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) I think Tomlin's "snake" comment might be a round about dig at us, in that Matty Taylor was a "snake" when we pulled the Blue Fews pants down (intimating that we've lost out and Crapdiff have done well by picking COD up). Three things from my perspective - 1) I'm glad COD is gone, so don't really care. 2) I reckon COD has pulled their pants down by securing a 3 year deal, and 3) I think Tomlin is a dumbo anyway (to the extent that if he told me it was raining I'd still want to look out the window to check).
