Most fans expected him to either be loaned out or not make the matchday squad. Scored against Man U and Arsenal, but most importantly he has been a great foil for Flemming when coming on in the later stages. Puts himself about and wins a lot of free kicks in the opposition half.
Impressed against everton as well. [Post edited 10 Oct 18:24]

You've got to hand it to the guy, came on and put himself about like a man possessed. Loved the " bought " free kick he earned close to the final whistle too. Very clever! Keep it going Chuba. |  | | |

When he won that foul at the end he absolutely loved it. Shouting right in front of me in the north.
It really does look like he’s lost weight. Looks a completely different player |  |

Was moaning like hell when he came on but he proved me wrong. Some great work off the ball and winning that free-kick at the end superb. |  | | |

He did really well … but that free kick he won at the end should definitely have gone the other way,
Not that I’m complaining mind. |  | | |

looked really fired up, did well. Pleased for him. | | | |

O’Neil seems to have given him a new lease of life.
Full of confidence, determination and power. What a nightmare to play against. | | | |

You need 25 players absolutely on it when required and he showed that brilliantly today.
He looks more than capable of doing what we needed today.
Should out for Walton too. Another who would be easy to write off but he’s the Lazarus of Ipswich! |  | | |

Yep I thought it was silly to keep him around as even 3rd choice this year. He has completely proved me wrong and im happy he has.
Thought he was excellent when he came on. |  |

Egeli looks like a new lease of life too. Both have clearly stepped up in physicality and confidence since joining.
Had cynical doubts about some of our cross pitch ball pinging last season against 10 men defences but seemed to completely upend Fulham in the last 5 minutes today |  | | |

One of the people I go with doesn't rate him at all. I said he's actually been a good impact sub. That free kick and roar to the crowd was brilliant. | |

There was a lot of noise when we signed him perm for £7mil because if the obligation and that we need to get rid and a big waste of money.
I said at the time that £7 mil was absolutely fine. Look what you have to spend on strikers these days. No issue spending that on Chuba. It's the very low end of what he is worth.
He's gone and out the hard graft in this summer, scored goals and impacted games already this season. Fair play. | |

Never had a problem him being third choice striker or 10. I'd worry if he was starting.
I'm happy with Emmerson and Flemming. Let's not kid ourselves, we're lower PL / newly promoted, I think we did well to get them.Hard working and good attitude. Emmerson missed a sitter, but so did Fulham.
If he puts himself about, Chuba will do as a good squad player. | | | |

The "foul" at the end of the game was so smart. I think he also won the free kick we scored the second goal from? |  | | |

Hes the only player I really saw that didn't seem to enjoy playing for McKenna. Right now he seems to be thriving again | | | |

I was doubtful about him being brought on when he was, but thought he was absolutely brilliant yesterday. Actually, all the subs were. | |

Strange to see how he’s currently performing. He looked a bit lost under McKenne, even a bit timid.
Now he seems highly motivated, aggressive and focussed. Good to see. |  | | |

To be fair to both he and McKenna. Akpom is being asked to do a very different job now. | | | |

If Akpom doesnt effect any other game tbis season. That’s worth the £7m for the 3 points |  |

Not expecting him to replicate Chappers has probably helped him. We’re letting him play to his strengths now. |  |

Fair play to him, maybe he feels he has a point to prove, either way he has really stepped up. I struggle to understand what we were trying to do with the number ten position last season. | | | |

Arse & elbows.
So good, doing exactly what we need him to do. |  |

You won't see many players come on, make a solitary successful pass in 29 mins (the only one he tried, so 100%) but have the impact he had lol!
Fair play.
Deployed with Flemming to great effect. |  | | |

My seat neighbour told me he and Egeli worked like hell over the summer to get fitter and stronger. I think you can see that.
I had Chuba down as a ‘loan him out’, but he’s proving me wrong. Well done him. |  | | |

It shows. Chuba not chubby. Possibly might get ahead of Flemming in the pecking order. Egeli looks less boy-man and more man now. Stronger. | | | |
