I'd prefer to think that the club would have done due diligence to filter out any 'billy big bollox' before even agreeing to take them out on loan. Pretty sure that's the case here. Lad just wasn't up to the pace of the Championship on the day. Learning experience for all involved, I'd have thought.

Sad to say Akpom did look every inch a non-league player today. Showed no kind of glimmer of talent whatsoever. Arsenal will be disappointed that he's still on their books.

The Towell is always there or thereabouts, and yet somehow never quite in the frame. Parting of the ways sometime soon?

On that performance, which was about a soft a game - against third bottom - as he was ever going to get for us at this stage of the season, can't believe he didn't even attempt to impose himself in any way on the game. Hard to believe he does any much better in training. No big fan of Hemed, but...

Only player in the stripes to fully deserve a booing in recent years is cynical serial waster Leon Best. IMHO, like.

Or the player complaining back up the agent/club line that he's not getting any game time while out on loan. So he gets chucked in for an hour against third from bottom. and proves himself to be utterly ineffectual in front of a full house. A tiny minority of whom act like pricks and boo him off...

At the start of February, less than a week after we'd signed him :rolleyes:

Both BBC and the official Albion fixtures link say 58 minutes. Which is more or less the bog-standard 60 minutes. Well more so than 55 minutes anyways :shrug:

A bit worrying though that CH gambled a full hour of the closing stages of this crucial promotion chase on a player who was patently completely out of his depth. Hopefully the starting line-up sixty minutes was a cold hard one-off contractual agreement and one that never has to be repeated.

Probably do well in the Eredivisie.

Guess you must sit in a different part of the North than me. There were quite a few booing him in the N1G/N1H sections.

About a minute before Akpom got subbed, the North was screaming all sorts at him for not jumping for a challenge in the Blackburn box. Guess that partially explains the booing, even if it doesn't excuse it.

No way did Akpom deserve booing. He just looked horribly out of his depth at this level, almost like a non-league player. Spent the hour he was on the pitch mainly hiding or playing timid inconsequential two yard passes. Might as well ship him back to Arsenal now. He's no use to us at this stage...
