Linkboy13 - I agree - they only kept 3/4 boys from the u16 and the rest were released players from London clubs. Don’t actually understand the strategy - seems as if they only want big physical players and putting technical ability towards the bottom of what they want. If they go down this route, I’m not totally sure why we have an academy between u8 - u15/16. Think between the u17 and u18 they’ve scored 1 goal and conceded 23 goals. U21s a different story I must add as a caveat though and seem to be doing ok at the moment. |

I don't think I can add anything to this from my post on the under 18 hammering by Palace, other than, things can only get better. I'm sure they will in the fullness of time with Category One. They need to! |

Bert - Not sure I agree with the two players marking Akpom. Do agree with your comment regarding Nunez, looked very assured and created lots of space. Does make me chuckle when I get marked down for stating fact though. Watch the match back and, in the first half, see how many times Akpom fell to the ground, lost the ball in our own half. That was simply an observation from one game and not a prediction of how he will continue to play. You would expect he will gain in fitness and strength (quick, mark him down for giving a factual, balanced view rather than immediate praise) |

I like this guy. I thought he was quality against Sheff U and linked up with Hirst very well. Especially for, what was it Philogene's second? Some really nice link up play. He is big and strong and aggressive and gives us something different to what we have had. |

Well done for avoiding using the word "Hammered" in the headline like every other journalist ever has done for a heavy defeat to West Ham. |

Akpom had two players on him the whole time on Saturday and that is because he is a threat. Once unshackled he will, in my opinion, do the business for us. Off topic but I loved the way Nunez came on and bossed the midfield. |
