    This was obvious last season...please watch and tell me I'm wrong...hope I am...but as a wing back he needs to attack

    Should be no where near the first team.

    Statistically one of the most productive full backs in the league last season.

    Only Harrison Burrows with a better record, who plays on the other side.

    He’s not a full back though so if he’s compared against players who play in a back 4 he should be outperforming them

    Better than cadden although I don't think that takes much

    He wasn't during Cadden's first season. He had an off-season but so did everyone else.

    Thought OKeefe showed exactly why he played in a team that got relegated before joining us.

    First time I saw him was in the home game against Pompey early last season. I thought his dribbling skills looked phenomenal. Rarely saw them displayed again after that game??

    Yeh, I agree. Only putting it out there. He was playing further forward than the majority of other ‘full backs’ on that data list.

    He got injured in our very first game last season. Be interested to see how he goes with a proper run in the side. Always looks like he has goals and assists in him to me so I am hopeful he will come good.

    Didn't miss Cadden, Kane, Williams or Cole tonight.

    He went backwards in more ways than one under Collins last season but so did half the squad. Hopefully the new manager can undo the damage done last year

    Bit of an outdated euphemism, that.

    I can't work O'Keeffe out. As you say, he always seems to go backwards, but as someone else has pointed out, when he does go forward, he does seem to make things happen. He's definitely not as flamboyant or front footed as Cotter, but it appears he's more effective.
