Funso Ojo has had perhaps 10 good games since signing.

For some reason, he got a 2.5 year extension that will keep him here till he’s 34.

He doesn’t know what he’s doing!

Ojo is a good player at this level.  My twopenneth.

Would be fantastic if he showed it more often.

Dan Jones was given a two year contract extension last summer. Try and process that. He is a myth. He’s been injured for about 50% of the time he’s been here. When he does play he’s a calamity. 

Perfect example of a player whose stock rises by actually not playing. 

I got lambasted on here when I said at the end of last season that he should be not offered a new contract.

Ojo's performance was not the reason we lost. Not even close to being a small part of it. He's head and shoulders above some of the players on that pitch yesterday, he must be looking around and regretting signing an extension.

Ditto that for more than just Ojo.

You can say that about all of them it is  a team game after all 🤔

He can easily ask the club for a transfer at the end of the season and walk away without his contract being paid up if he desires

I think you’re picking out the wrong scapegoat for our current position. When fit, he’s regularly one of our better performers. 

[JoeB2]

Why is all criticism perceived as scapegoating?

Ojo should not have received a 2.5 year extension at the age of 31. Was really thick. Same for Jones.

And at 31 he's still head and shoulders above the rest .but that's just my opinion 😁

He rarely plays well. 

He’s usually a 6/10 at least. He’s a holding midfielder. Strange one to be picking Ojo out for criticism when at least 7 other players on that pitch yesterday were worse.

Why shouldn’t he? He’s a league 1 standard player. Totally bizarre criticism imo
