We have told Stevenage that we dont want to part with him

Sell Otoo, for the pittance on offer and we`re even worse. What would be the logic of that. He was posted missing at the first goal today, got himself booked but then came on to a bit of a game. He deserves his place in the team. If we sold him who would we replace him with.

Losing Otoo would just be another in a long line of disasters this season , can,t
blame him if he wants to move on .

If the fee is big enough it could potentially pay the wages of three or four new signings for the season….. that would be tempting earlier in the window when there were more players without a club….. now though? I don’t think there is the talent pool of available players.

I`d imagine Otoo is getting pissed off about having to cover in defence because of our car crash of a squad.

Can actually be a curse being versatile. Arguably at fault for 1st goal and likewise for the 2nd, in the build up at least.
Which is a harsh reality as i thought he kept Morrison relatively quiet once he got to grips from the early booking.

The lad is an absolute quality player and should be encouraged going forward, but is not a left back. He doesn’t have the vision of a player considering the overlaps. Fabulous player but not a genuine left back.

Knowing the charlatans in charge, we’d sell Otoo and use the funds to make McPake & Mackay players and probably sign Jim Leishman on a short term deal tae. Anything to avoid signing actual players.

He’s still raw but he is 100% the one with the highest potential in our squad. Pretty much our only sellable asset we have left, maybe harsh on Todd but nobody is going to pay a fee for a player who is constantly injured. We have to hang onto him until atleast January.

He was getting caught out in the first half - their no7? was pretty rapid - but I thought he adjusted and kept him fairly quiet in the 2nd half.

Morrison was giving him real bother first half. Getting booked so early wasn’t great but he handled it really well.

I was worried for him after being caught out and booked in the first 5 minutes (flashbacks of him being done out there v Forfar came to mind) but recovered and had a better 2nd half.
Prefer him in the middle of the park as he is one of our few players who can carry the ball forwards, but with the lack of depth he’s the player most likely to move out to that left side in place of Ngwenya.

McCann was totally dreaming at the first goal, Otoo was marking his man, after been booked early doors McCann should have been helping him.
Otoo was probably our best player in the match, though would have been better in midfield!

I disagree, McCann would`ve been instructed to get high and wide when we have the ball. With Mehmet having the ball at his feet, it should be a standard build of play from the back. If anything otoo should`ve been further left awaiting a pass from Mehmet.

He is still young and learning. Like everyone else he will make mistakes. I thought he played well yesterday even though it`s not his natural position. If you think about it, he is playing that position because we don`t have the depth in the squad, so see no reason to criticise his performance.

The club want to develop a player training model. If they receive an offer for Otoo that meets or is above their valuation of the player then they should sell him. In the short-term it will weaken the team further, but the long-term benefits might kick in quicker when young players see they can come to the club and earn a bigger move relatively quickly.
The flip side of this is that the club should already know who their next Otoo & Edwards (or Kevin Nisbet) are before the sell these players (succession planning). Unfortunately, that`s where the model maybe ineffective at this point in time as I don`t believe the club have the resources or skill set to achieve this part of the process.
Also, an interesting point is neither of these players were developed through the club`s academy and shows a much quicker, cheaper and more successful way of achieving what the Investors seem to want to do.

The academy is an interesting one as we needed additional funding for a spade to be put in the ground so how much are we actually paying? As it seems to be the excuse for everything without any evidence of us funding it.

Just watched highlights, Otoo was drawn into central position by Morrison, who he was marking, leaving space down the left. McCann failed to pick up the runner!

McCann can`t be in Two places at once. With possession he will be told to get high and wide. Otoo was drawn towards a central man when Bene was free to pick him up.
The point is we had the ball and set up in possession accordingly. Mehmet gives the ball away cheaply, and then it`s a scramble to try and find a man and pick him up.
You can`t and shouldn`t be marking players when we have possession.
It`s an absolute joke of a goal to lose. But no way is McCann liable for that.

Otoo should always be played in midfield as him and Matty Todd are the only midfielders we have at present who can drive the team forward with their runs. He should not be sold at the moment as I think his value will greatly increase as he steadily improves. McPake really needs to get the players playing in their best positions and let them settle into them regardless of injuries.

I liked when we had Otoo and Hammy sitting in front of back line. We were combative and hard. With Matty Todd running in front of them and Josh Edward’s on one side and KRH on the other we looked quick and powerful. We can get back to something like that but we need everyone fit and at match fitness which is a real problem for us just now.
