To play him effectively,you have to hold an high line and defend the second balls , KEEP HIM OUT OF THE AREA !

And I reckon that he and The Cobbler's Goalkeeper must practice for hours on end together such was the accuracy of the latter's ability to find Aki's Chest and Feet with almost every clearance !!...so some credit must go to him...and I am in total agreement with Revived Red's opinion of Aki's control and hold-up play,by far the best exponent of this craft seen at The Crown this season.
The lad sat next to me summed it up when he said..
'He'd soon become a legend with the Clayton End if he played for us !'.
Enough about the opposition though, except that the Manager outhought Leam on the day..and that they had a Midfield trio that really ran and ultimately won the game for them !!.
Although it's an interesting exercise I feel that It's fruitless to attempt to pick out individual failings in our Team's performance yesterday, I'm certain that Leam will have the nouse to see where these existed and will work on them accordingly...which will only add to his growing experience at Managerial level, help him to produce a more balanced side, and ensure him of our continued support. Keep the Faith !!
