Was he playing left or right centreback? If playing on the "wrong side" often first touch looks dodgy with certain centrebacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to lose control of it too easily..... Don't know what the problem is. I couldn't control it that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen Akinola play on the left side but its noticeable that Mayo and Brownlie would be both be asked to play out of position rather than Akinola. His passing and nervousness on the ball is the biggest problem in his game. To my mind his sending off against Airdrie in the cup seemed to really effect him and then having to play on such a poor surface for the remainder of the season has meant his confidence on the ball has never fully returned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I agree, Akinola lost confidence after that. I think there is still a good player in there. Just not sure he will get many starting places with the likes of Milne, Muirhead & Holt showing consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
