WHAT HAPPENED?
Okonkwo made a dismal error against Blackburn in the FA Cup in midweek as he rushed out of goal and was left stranded 30 yards out, allowing Sam Gallagher to score.
And he made two mistakes for Wrexham against Salford on Saturday, first trying to claim a corner and getting nowhere near it as the home team scored, before seeing Elliott Watt score direct from the same kind of set-piece minutes later, leaving the Welsh club with a mountain to climb.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Wrexham are involved in a pitched battle at the top of League Two, with Stockport currently leading the way. A defeat to Salford would be a major blow, so Okonkwo's struggles have come at potentially the worst possible time.
