    It's good to see him enjoying his football and scoring regularly. There may be something in playing players to their strength rather than putting them in holes that will never suit them? Gnonto was back training yesterday as I was at Thorp Arch but no idea how far away he is from playing.

    Never thought joffy was shyte doc, just didn’t think he suited our way of playing.. under successive managers. Feel the same about Piroe to some degree despite his goals last season.

    I’m really pleased he’s doing well, maybe championship is his level or maybe he can kick on from here.

    True dat… he’s not someone who beats players in 1v1s but he’s quick over a few yards and can change direction quickly to create space. I’ve always liked him and thought he was one of our better players in the first few games before he got injured. Okafor adds some extra physicality and 1v1 threat in that position but Gnonto is tidier in possession At a time where we’re lamenting our wide options I wouldn’t be cashing in.

    I think Okafor is real quality, unfortunately I can’t see him playing more than a few games in a row without getting injured.

    Yep, his injury record is the concern.

    If we can get him going then he will probably be our 'creative' player and also our top scorer. Leeds have backed their medical team massively with the players signed. So far it hasn't been too bad but yeah, Okafor would keep us up if fully fit and firing all season. Hes a very good player. Farke has to keep the weight off him and also keep his feet on the ground.

    Personally I really wanted Joffy to succeed here and at one time I thought he was going to. He never got a run in the team for whatever reason but always seemed like a decent lad and that he wanted to give his all for the shirt.
    Good luck to the lad
