Oakey is finished and was always overrated. I don't see what the big fuss is about. He was hanging on for dear life in his last outing.

If you're from Portsmouth then you'd understand what all the fuss was about. The fans always turn up for him down that way and however overrated Oakey may or may not have been, you can't deny he was gutsy and gave his all despite his limitations.
That said, Haymer takes this one. Peter must be getting close to a title shot at the British.........or is he and the rest of them just waiting until Oboh gives it up?
