Oko-Flex

[bakajack]

Looked sharp and dangerous when he came on today, he offered more in 15 minutes than Sorinola and Latibeaudiere combined for 75. To the point where at the end a Brizzle player rugby tackled him and pulled his shorts down to stop him getting onto the end of a 1-2 with Ntcham in stoppage time.

He surely has to start along with Manning against Preston.

He was exciting when he came on. A player taking on defenders is what we are missing. He should start but I doubt he will.

What I've been saying for weeks. We look so dangerous with him hurtling down the wing, taking on players & putting balls in. Should be a starter every game.

 

[sainthelens]

Agree with all the above.
Looks keen n hungry....has to start now.

I'd be surprised if Martin plays him from the start, he's too conservative for that. His wing-backs need to defend first and clearly Oko-Flex is a better attacker than defender, in contrast to pretty much all our other wing-backs.

I feel like the best we can hope for is that Martin starts bringing him off the bench earlier in games. Hope I'm wrong as he's one of the few players we have who is exciting to watch with the ball at his feet.

Does sorinola defend well then? I just don’t see it with him at all.

I don't think Sorinola does much defending at all, whether or not he's supposed to is another matter altogether though. It was good to see Oko-Flex having enough minutes on the pitch to actually get involved and make an impact and he certainly helped us keep our foot on the gas for the last 15 so, yes, I hope he features much more from now on.

We don’t know if Stevens is any good. It would be an idea to find out as we know Lati is hopeless there (although Martin doesn’t seem to). Oko has to be given a start if we aren’t playing Stevens, but he won’t be. Any more of the Lati right Sorrow left will boil my piss.

Lets just say I have more confidence in him when he's in defending positions than when he's in attacking positions. Which is damning with faint praise.

 

[Ringwood Jack]

Oko would certainly give us a better option like to see him and Stevens start maybe in a home game

 

[Dewi1jack]

Oko has looked exciting since he got here. he certainly loves running at defenders
Could start him and Stevens V Wigan at our place. Home crowd will support them.
We have a few players on 4 cards, so won't be long before Martin has to start either.
Seems to me it would be better to start them and if it's not working around half time, can sub either/ both and start work on a plan B, for when the suspensions happen.

I know Sorinola and Lati give people the shivers and I understand why but my biggest worry is Wood.
I have to say, Lati isn't a stand out star player, but he's a solid 6 or 7 every game IMHO.
Does have the ability to make a mistake, but even Man City/ B Munich etc player are capable of mistakes. They just make fewer and tends not to be as costly.
Wood.
Nearly always wrong side of an attacker, rarely stops the cross and seems to drop to a saunter when someone goes past him.
I'm probably wrong. Just whenever I watch him then it seems to happen.
I do watch a particular player on and off the ball, at certain times through a game, along with watching the rest

Or have we only brought Oko here, because Martin knows the club shop has far to many K's and X's to get rid of on overpriced replica shirts?

It almost seems like the worst offence a Swans player can commit these days is to be merely "OK".

The great players are great. We can all get behind them. The rubbish players are equally easy in ther own way, although I would contest that we haven't actually had any rubbish players since about 2007. Dissapointing players perhaps. Poorly utilised also an option. Rubbish? Not for me.

Sorinola and others like him (Bidwell is another good example) don't have the decency to be completely rubbish so all of us can give them abuse in good conscience. They actually have to be halfway decent. Capable of good performances, but ultimately not quite what we need.

The B*stards.

Vangelis Morass?

Vangelis Morass?

You win.

I pride myself on remembering most of the players who pulled on a shirt for the Swans during my years supporting the team, but I had to look Moras up, completely forgot about him in our first PL season.
