Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones has told Isaac Olaofe what he can do to earn more minutes after his last-minute winner at Sheffield United.
Olaofe joined the Addicks from Stockport County in July, but has since started just twice, both in the Carabao Cup, for Jones’ side.
His 90th-minute winner at Bramall Lane erupted the away end, endearing himself to the 1,154 travelling Addicks after once again impressing from the bench.
Speaking after the game, Jones revealed that more of the same will see Olaofe earn plenty of opportunities to play at the club.
“Exactly what he’s done today [is what he can do to play more]. Goals, energy, running ability, game-changing - that’s it,” he said. “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, so did Tanto [Isaac] Olaofe, so did Rob Apter.
“And we’ve got competition from behind them from people that have done well for me, like Karoy Anderson.
“The competition and the levels have had to go up at this football club, and they have significantly.
“So there’s real competition and, if people want to stay in the team, or people want to get in the team, then they have to be consistent every single day.”
