Caleb Okoli - new cult hero

[Electric Yetis]

Never seen a defender let the ball bounce in front of him as much as he does, bizarre.

 

Also struggles to actually kick the ball.

[StanSP]

Him and Faes both lost their heads at different points in the game. 

 

Confidence absolutely shot now for him. I guess many of the best would struggle having to play with Faes next to you. There's only one player that could do the job of two and that was Kante. 

 

Okoli's lack of pace took me by surprise too. I always thought he was quite pacy but yesterday highlighted how easy it was to get in behind and almost have a clear run at goal. 

 

He's not quite the clown or car crash that Faes is, but he's started his journey towards it... 

[Realist Guy In The Room]

Pay peanuts, get absolutely fvcking awful defenders that are just embarrassing to watch.

 

He is so below the standard required, it highlights yet another area of the club that just isn’t up to standard.

 

On the evidence we saw last season, Ben Nelson would have been a better option to have.

[Silva Fox]

Makes you wonder what "qualities" our recruitment team look for when they're scouting defenders!

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Classic example of a player being “better” when they’re not playing, he’s 💩 like the rest of them. 

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Another absolute donkey to add to the list.

 

Another summer of recruiting players with no sell on value who we’ll end up loaning out until the end of their contracts 🙃

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Just another example of how bad our recruitment has been under Glover.

[HarryDee8]

Put him on please

[Ian Nacho]

Awful awful footballer. 

[Philkeavo]

Okoli = bombscare x 10

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Don't think he wants to be here...get him gone back to Italy in the summer

****s sake. He's had a shocker but FFS give the guy some rope. Despised by his own manager, completely out of any match practice. And playing next to a ****ing podcaster. 

[coolhandfox]

Please for him.

[Hales]

Pleased for him, he needs to be the starter now....NO MORE FAES!!!

[Paninistickers]

All the bullshit on here from the Dutchman's cucks earlier about his head ain't in it. 

 

Loved his reaction to his goal..

 

 

 

 

[Tomo260]

Better than Faes today even before he scored. 

[baldeagle]

Started shaky as **** but he definitely got better as the game went on . He also looked like he at least cared unlike Faes 

[Bilo]

Play him and/or Nelson for the remaining few games. It would help to build a partnership against far better attacks than they will face next season. 

[Lambert09]

He’s a young lad with potential, you simply have to give him the minutes now. build up someone who might have a future with us rather than players who are definitely leaving or we’d want to leave. 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

One of only a few senior players I would keep for next season

 

shows promise at least 

[Cropwellfox]

If Ruud wasn’t chatting shit and he actually does want to be here then play him every minute for the rest of this season and make sure he starts CB with Nelson next season.

Nelson's back at Oxford.

[Buzzell]

He needs a good run of games. I’d have him over Faes and Vesty all day long. Loved his celebration today.

[martyn]

Was refreshing to see how pleased he was to score. Given how dreadful the season has been, even little moments like that provide some light relief.

[Hales]

Pleased for him 💙 

Play the players that want to play!
