BLACKBURN Rovers fans need no introduction when it comes to striker George Ndah.

It was the spindly front man who engineered Swindon Town's shock victory over Rovers at the County Ground earlier in the season -- a result which set Brian Kidd on the slippery slope towards the sack.

His pace and skill proved a handful all night as Town stunned the men from Ewood with a 2-1 victory.

And it was that kind of eye-catching performance which persuaded Wolves boss Colin Lee to come in and rescue the striker.

However, little has gone right for the player since.

Had it not been for Matt Carbon's horror tackle on Ndah in a keenly contested Midlands derby back in October, Wolves may have been assured of a play-off place by now.

But that challenge left the former Crystal Palace striker with a broken leg just as he was finding his feet with new strike partner Ade Akinbiyi.

Five months on, he is now back in action after coming on as a second half substitute in Wolves' 1-0 defeat at Birmingham last week.

And he is keen to show why Lee signed him in the first place.

Egil Ostenstad, likewise, has a point to prove.

According to Opta, a comparison of the two reveals Ostenstad is the more prolific -- having notched eight times this season compared to Ndah's one.

But the Wolves man has spent most of that time in a Swindon side struggling for First Division survival.

Ndah, however, appears to be the trickier of the two, having made three times as many dribbles.
