Style of Play
Odubade is generally deployed as a striker, but has also been used as a winger. He believes that his best asset is his turn of pace, and that he is at his most dangerous when he is "running at opposition defences". He is predominantly right-footed, and scores the majority of his goals with his right foot, but is also comfortable using his left. During his time at Stevenage, manager Graham Westley has used Odubade as the second striker as part of a 4–4–2 formation sitting off the shoulder of the centre forward. Westley has also used him as part of a 4–3–3 formation, usually on the right side of a three-pronged attack. Odubade has been described as possessing "blistering pace", which was emphasised following two goals away at Crawley Town in March 2010, whereby his pace left the Crawley defence "in their tracks". Former Oxford United manager Darren Patterson said that Odubade needs to "to work on his movement up front, and he's got to realise what his assets are and play to them".

Famous quotes containing the words style of, style and/or play:
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“I never knew a writer yet who took the smallest pains with his style and was at the same time readable.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The play seems out for an almost infinite run.
Don’t mind a little thing like the actors fighting.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
