javeajag Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Leyton Orient fan on Twitter in March … Tunji Akinola has some future ahead of him, the lad absolutely oozes class and calmness, can’t remember seeing a defender as calm as him. Really hope we get in early and offer him a contract, could be a real asset for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Sounds like he has decent pedigree. Fingers crossed he oozes class and calmness playing into the wind at Arbroath 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWearsNumber9 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Unknown quantity but like the sound of the boy based on LO fans comments on twitter and think he might be a a very useful addition, spoke very well in his interview.

Muscat Jag Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I never really thought Kakay was anything other than OK. Suppose the mess he had to join didn't help the lad. Seems to be making some progress at QPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He at least gave his all and clearly tried unlike some of the chancers like zanatta we had. mccall tried to get his loan extended but QPR I think it was wanted him back Kakay also congratulated the club when we got promotion a few months ago, again some of his team mates from his time at the club wouldn’t have done that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought after that he was pretty good and was disappointed when he returned to QPR. I recall that game and made a couple of comments and these were (not verbatim): 1. First half he looked like a fish out of water and didn't seem to know what position he was supposed to be playing - full back or wide right midfield 2. In spite of the above I thought there was a player in there and that he should be given every chance. Subsequent to the Arbroath game he became a real force in our team and I was sorry to see him go! Would love him to come back but know that won't happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledjag Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Have we bought Tunji as a central defender or a right back? What happens to our current back 4 of McKenna, Mayo, Holt, Foster? Does it become: Foster, Mayo, Akinola, Holt or something different. I know I may be in a minority but I think if McKenna is the one to drop out that would be harsh on him. Any thought on what our back line should be or the team formation in general, for example, are we now back to a 352 formation given Akinola is said to be pacy! Just some thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some thoughts Funny how we can interpret that differently. I envisage Akinola to be "pacy" in so much as he'll be a comfortable on the ball and mobile centreback. I wouldn't associate a player who plays centreback and fullback necessarily meaning he'll also be a capable wingback or even an attacking No2. Fast or not he'd also have to put in quality deliveries. Besides I reckon starting 3-5-2 will be ruled out as too much on the defensive side. Plus the squad is loaded with midfield options and in wide areas as well. Admittedly there are some narrow away grounds where playing with width is difficult. So just maybe on such occasions we'd change to a 3-5-2 to protect a scoreline.

Maybe it is the manager there that is able to give players confidence. Was it McGlynn that helped turn Nisbet(correct spelling ?) round.
