We're not using him properly at the moment. We tend to pass the ball around at the back,

inviting the opposition to move up the field, leaving acres of space behind them. Onel hangs on the last defender but instead of putting a ball over the top to use his pace, we pass to feet and give the opposition that much more time to organise. He's a good dribbler, but he has real pace, and we're not using that fully.

  - Not sure about that, we lack a bit of pace without him. What was interesting (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 1, 09:37:57
    - Cantwell is very neat and tidy but not exactly threatening (NCFC) - mr carra, Oct 1, 09:55:15
      - Cantwell an intelligent player though. Definitely a role for him but I agree he (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 1, 10:37:23

      - In the game that I've seen this season when Onel had played, we haven't played like that. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Oct 1, 13:08:25
      - Absolutely - it was a pretty much standout change from last year, far more direct (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Oct 1, 10:00:28
  - Given Hanley's early form, theres an argument we're better without him too (n/m) (NCFC) - pab, Oct 1, 09:24:32
  - Defensively he’s a liability ?... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 1, 08:45:37
