Chiedozie Ogbene M Luton b.1997

What's the best scenario from an Irish perspective in terms of the relegation battle this year? It seems like pretty much every team down there has an Irish player involved.

Assuming Sheffield United and Burnley are as good as gone who would be want in the last relegation position? Everton because Coleman probably won't be kept on in the Premier League anyway, but might be kept if they get relegated (would be sad on a personal level for Coleman to see Everton finally relegated though)? Luton because we'd maybe fancy Ogbene to get a move if they go down? Presumably not Forest (Omobamidele) or Brentford (Collins). Don't think Bournemouth will be dragged into it unfortunately, though they're not going well.

Better than last season.
So far this season, 14 players have made a total of 145 appearances, completing 9171 minutes, or 63.2 minutes per appearance, scoring 12 goals - the most since the 2020/21 season(21 goals)
Last season, 13 players made a total of 141 appearances, completing 9323 minutes, or 66 minutes per appearance, scoring eight goals

So, we're already ahead of the total appearances from last year, have scored more goals, and should pass the minutes total before the end of the month
(all numbers from https://www.premierleague.com/stats/ )

Passed last season's total minutes played earlier today

sorry, it was 9,323 in last season's competition. Fixed it up
Hate it when that happens

A nice finish at full stretch to put Luton up 2-0 against Bournemouth. Ogbene is our best player this season, and by a wide margin. Forget him trying to get a contract with another struggling team if Luton go down, I don't think he'd look out of place playing for a top half team. He's great to watch on the right wing for Luton.

Can see Brentford making a move for him as he suits how they switch between 433 and 352.

Chiedozie Ogbene on target but Bournemouth mount extraordinary comeback [rte.ie]

I'd say his club are loving that international window right about now...
