Akpom scored twice in one game, and then was injured for the next 7 games.
Here's a few comments from fans before those goals...
"If
Akpom is in ahead of Coburn the world has gone mad"
"
Akpom did literally nothing in many of his previous appearances, at least Connolly got near the ball on occasion"
"I was on about Tav and Watmore.
Akpom has been a waste of time."
"Things move on watmore half decent.
Akpom garbage"
"He can finish but being a striker above low league levels is about more than just finishing. It's a vital part, and one that
Akpom doesn't have, of course."
They continue a little after the goals too...
"Disappointing that we don’t have any better options."
"I think we’ll use
Akpom as trade bate maybe."
"Hand on heart, do you think we're going up this season?
Akpom up front?"
"If we get another striker then I think
akpom gets the 4th spot over him"
"From what I've seen
Akpom is probably good enough as no 3/4 option, if we want to go up"
"Same old rubbish! I’m guessing we will say
akpom is like a new signing when we fail to bring in anyone"
I enjoyed this one.... "Still better than
Akpom. Anyones better than
Akpom." .... The players in question were "Kavanagh & Finch"
Another good one... "3 mill and
Akpom" when we wanted to sign Jacob Greaves.
And even continued into September...
"He has always liked one of the strikers to drop and link the play, dont think thats either
Akpom or Muniz' game"
"Expecting
Akpom to save Boro means we really are in a desperate position."
..... some of the posters are posting very similar comments about current players too, but I won't name names
