For me he must start against every team we expect to sit back and defend deep. His first thought every time is to overlap, and his runs passed Kellyman tonight helped create the space for Kellyman to drive inside. Something Davies and NG failed to do all night.

Ng a better defender - but Kpakio better in attacking play.

Agree.

Totally agree I think he should start all the games at home, as every club comes for a point.

Understand what being said but there’s a fine balance being a starter and and impact sub.You have to say we got it right last night but very fine margins.

I agree, most of our good play last night come from the left where Bagan was in loads of space. NG doesn't pick up those spaces in attacking positions. Thats not a dig at NG, hes just more cautious going forward.
Kpakio is perfect against a team who defends deep and compact with Tanner or Kellyman wide who cut in on their stronger foot.

Llay NG right back, Kpakio right wing. Its screaming out for it

Been saying it for months.

Kpakio has looked a bit dodgy especially when starting. 6 assists can't be argued with but it's a balancing act as others have said. Would Kpakio or Kellyman have been as effective if they started last night? We did spend an hour running Stevenage ragged first

We're getting Tanner back now but I'm surprised we haven’t tried Kaprio infront of NG. Would give the direct play and speed we need and he would have excellent protection with NG behind him. Could also be a good combination to close games out.

At the moment he relies too much on his pace to get him out of trouble defending.
