What does he bring to the team, please bring back Bonne |  | | |  |

I agree. But Bonne was on the QPR bench today. I’d take Bonne any day over Ladapo |  | | |

Well we said that about O'moore too early.
He needs a goal for sure. I was a bit disappointed that he didn't even win his fair share of headers today.
He didn't look very effective.
But then I though John Jules and Davis both looked poor down the left today. Kept losing the ball. |  |

I don't recall Bonne being able to press with the same intensity as Ladapo at any point in his time with us.
But yes, he should absolutely be our team instead of Ladapo, after all his scoring record of 3 goals in his last 35 will be more than enough to get us promoted. |  |

Bonne had 4 goals to his name at this point last season. That aside, it’s been very evident under KM that it doesn’t matter who plays there, the service into them is relatively poor and their goal scoring threat is diminished. Pigott, Jackson, Norwood, Bonne, Ladapo all struggling to get goals under KM. It’s almost like it’s the system… | | | |

Is it not about how many goals the whole team scores at the end of 90 minutes? |  |

Do the maths Einstein. Bone vs Ladapo on stats so far. Make an average over the season, based on minutes per match in comparison.
Then come back to me. | | | |

"Do the maths Einstein". LOL. It's Bonne.
And you get Ladapo's stats are pretty good don't you?
KM is looking for goals from the whole front 4, not just Ladapo. | |

Sorry who is O'Moore?
I've been trying to figure out of our current players who it could be a typo on but I ain't sure. |  |

So far I fail to see how Ladapo is any better than Pigott! But technically, Pigott is streets ahead. |  |

Good if you could spell the guys name it’s, Olayinka Fredrick Oladotun "Freddie" Ladapo.
What is the benefit after 5 games announcing that a player we have targeted early in the window and whom has plenty of goals to his name is a poor signing? | |

I think that's right. A single striker up front is always likely to struggle, and it's almost as if their role is to free up space for others. |  | | |

That “foul” on David was a) not a foul and b) outside of the box. It was right in front of where I sit |  |

It’s not about individual players, it’s about how the team are playing and the results. This season is a vast improvement on last and that’s all that matters. |  |

Do the maths for games played under KM.. That's all that matters...
If Ladapo scores 2 goals in half a season under KM. Then by your reckoning, that makes him twice as good as Bonne..?
We are joint top of the league, 2nd best for goals scored, and joint best goal difference.. Goals are not our problem, from an overall perspective..
Why would we sign Bonne, when he failed for 4 months under KM? It would be pure desperation and incredibly underwhelming for a lot of people. Given that we are trying to improve from last season. Not more of the same.
Ladapo hasn't netted yet. But he links things up, without straying offside. Which is already an upgrade on Bonne, imo. And those are the qualities that KM wants from a front man.
There's no grounds to gripe about anyone, whilst we are top 2. Even if there is room for improvement.. The aim is to get promoted. Not to have the leading, individual goal scorer in the division... |  | | |

I think that’s way off.
As others point out, it’s about how many goals we score as an attack. And Ladapo’s already a key part of our much more effective-looking attack.
He could do with a goal, yes. But he’s had chances and created them for himself and others so it’s not like the games are passing him by. That was a big issue with our strikers and style of play last year that they just couldn’t get involved often enough.
Anyway, Ladapo was very unlucky not to score today. Keeper made a blinding reflexive save with his feet to deny his bundled effort. But if that goes in, it doesn’t transform what Ladapo’s done this season. Similarly, he could now score 5 in the next 5 without any major change to his and the team’s play. |  |

As much as it'd be romantic to have Bonne back as a an option he doesn't play the McKenna way at all.
Ladapo has been unlucky in plenty of games this season, he's not had the best service at times but he's also been the reason the 10's and midfielders have got in with the goals. Occupying defenders, dragging teams' lines out of shape and stretching teams to create chances.
The obsession with goals is weighing far too heavy on him when we've managed 2 per game for such a sustained time and left every game feeling it could have been more. It'll be sweet when he does get one, not just for him but to end this talk of needing a new player every week. |  |

i also thought he had a bad game. he got in the way of a goal bound shot from morsy.
if he can score soon it will do he the world of good. not writing him of yet.
people moaning we didn't play well, chaplin should have scored early doors with a great through ball from morsy, davis brought a good save from the keeper. hit the post one cleared of the line. the keeper pulled off great saves from kvy and burns. thats not taken in account the good goal ruled out.
the only thing that pissed me off was they didn't even have to jump for their 2 headed goals and they were from distance |  |

Ladapo was poor yesterday but, prior to then, he does done a good job up front holding up the ball and bringing other players into the game.
Saying that, as I've posted elsewhere, I'm not sure why we brought him back into the line up after our success last week. | |

Yes but that’s not the debate. The debate is whether Ladapo is poor. The system will ultimately yield a lesser goal return for a single striker leading the line. Ladapo isn’t poor and neither is Bonne. | | | |

Actually the question posed was whether he was a poor signing, and for the reasons you have stated the answer has to be no. He fits into the way we play and makes room for other players to get goals, so he seems like a good signing.
I don't think MB would serve the team in the same way at all, even if he may, and I stress may have a slightly higher goal output. | |

Ledapo has always been very leden-footed. In fact he is an anagram of pedalo.
In fact Ledapo has been anonymous. Totally outshone by Ladapo. A far better signing. I had even forgotten that we had signed Ledapo. |  |

I’m happy enough with him as a signing, i just think we should have Bonne as well to have a better variety of options up front. Our options are too thin and as of yet, still hasn’t been addressed and needs to be. | | | |

I don't think either are good enough and this one up top nonsense doesn't help any striker anyway. We are still too light when it comes to goal scorers as we will find out as the season drags on. |  | | |
