David Okagbue was on the scoresheet in a huge win for Walsall that lifts the team into the League Two play-off spots. The 20-year-old Stoke City centre-back scored his first goal in the EFL to help see off Accrington Stanley 2-1 in what is proving to be an eye-catching loan spell. Okagbue has always been highly-rated as he comes through the academy at Stoke - big, quick and strong - and he was around the first team through pre-season before being sent out in the next stage of his development. He ultimately got invited on a trial to Stoke off the back of that tournament. The past few weeks it has been getting better and playing alongside Priestley (Farquharson) and the skipper (Donervon Daniels) has helped me massively.
