Nathan Jones admitted that Isaac Olaofe has been “frustrated” at his lack of Championship game time. Asked what else Olaofe needed to show to Jones to get greater game time, the Welshman told South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition: “Exactly what he has done today. Goals, energy, running ability - game-changing. That is it. He will get opportunities.
“You have to understand that we can only play 11 players and
we’ve got competition in every position now. So there are arguments for everyone. Joe Rankin-Costello came here to play. So did
Harvey Knibbs, Tanto Oloafe and Rob Apter. We’ve got competition from behind
that and people who have done well for me - Karoy Anderson. Ibby Fullah is
pushing at the door and he is training off the charts.
“The competition and levels had to go up at this club and
they have - significantly. If people want to stay in the team, or get in the
team, then they have to be consistent every day.
“That will do him the world of good and I’m really proud of
him, because he’s had to be patient. He’s come on late and been frustrated. He
was one of the main men at Stockport and he thought ‘I’m coming here to play’.
No, you’re coming here to be a Championship player and help Charlton Athletic
be the best we can be.”
“If he wants more minutes then keep doing that. It is hard
to leave you out.”
