[cite]Posted By: oohaahmortimer[/cite]I'm 99% sure that when people pass comment on here saying they don't rate player X or manager Y they don't booooo them at the games and they get behind whoever is representing charlton
So what is the problem with passing a view that isn't flattering about a player on a website
Touchy and precious , springs to mind !
So you think the thread title is comparing how they play not if Akpo is crap ?
Nieve springs to mind.

I remember it happening with John Robinson
Don't think so. Surely not?
If anyone did ever dare boo him then they should have been banned from the Valley
There was a small minority who got on his back in his last season but they were soon put in their place . To be fair I think they were the glory hunters who just came when were in the top flight.
nowhere in my post did I use the words shite or crap about either player. the reason I started the discussion, if i'm honest was because, i was sitting twiddling my thumbs on a sunday afternoon wondering how i could turn the forum into the " itchy and scratchy show " from the simpsons. leaburn who I loved as a player but was prone to the odd 1 or 2 glaring misses in his time as has akpo in his short career with us and so of course have other players but it just goes to show how short a fuse some people are on or who can start putting things into other peoples mouths that weren't their.
I thought Akpo played very well against Bournemouth. Thought it was a bit unfair, that along with Solly, he was dropped for the Orient game.
The decision was correct, in light of the result, but it's a bit unfair of people to get on his back, when considering the limited game time he has had this season, he has done very well. Had some good moments last year too! He's not perfect, but he can be a threat, has popped up with some timely goals, & he does work hard.
He has my full support for as long as he wears our shirt, as did Leaburn, during his tenure.

Totally agree with this comment.
What happens at a game and comments that are made on here are 2 different things as far as I'm concerned. Isn't that what websites like this are for?
I don't understand why people seem to have such a hard time understanding that!
This is why i dont post on here that much, everyones so eager to play one upmanship and criticize on every post....
Sillav's orginal post mentioned Leaburn as being a legend, and maybe he was, well perhaps not in the same way as killer but he played a massive part in our history. Undoubtedly skillfull but he was bambi on ice epitomised. I've been lucky enough to been going to the valley since i was 3 and have seen the tail end of killer and flash - and was a teenager loving gthe skillfull flicks and chest downs Leaburn provided - great player and very frustrating in his own right.
Akpo...Legend???? never....
And thats the great thing about football and Charlton...we can voice our opinions and each have our own...hopefully without it turning into a pi$$ing contest about spelling, grammer and whos a real supporter or not...
Akpo is in the three worst strikers I have seen at Charlton. He offers nothing. Has no pace and for a big lump no physical presence. And his inability to head the ball is something else.

How long have you been watching Charlton to think Akpo is one of the top three worst Charlton Strikers ever? l
He's already made liabilities like Marcus Bent and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink look far worse than him with his 7 goals in 11 starts and to say he offers nothing is ridiculous. He scores goals - End of story.
If by the end of the season hes scored 1 league goal and 1 cup goal like fat arsed Jimmy then maybe i will agree.
I'm prepared to give Akpo some time and fitness is a big factor for any player but not been impressed so far. Leaburn was far from a donkey but was also very limited unless he had his back to goal. Abbot, on what i could make out from the Leyton orient game (i've been out the country for a bit) looks like he has the all round package at this level. Akpo doesn't look like he'll be anything more than a bit part player for us. hope i'm wrong.

BTW, you're not by any chance the same Large Addick who was calling McCormack a waste of space and money, a couple of weeks ago, are you?
Hope not. Because that particular LargeAddick has often proved he's not always the best judge of a player.

Lawrie Abrahams, George Hopeless, Izale Mcleod, Chris Dickson - that's 4 worse strikers without even thinking
Your namesake was a bit lightweight, I remember ........ but he had some decent ball skills,
Good link up play and scored a few goals without being prolific.

;o)
I said that based on one appearance against Welling and said so at the time. I have since given him fulsome praise for his two league performances.
And this is the same LargeAddick who was singing Waggy's and Solly's abilities BEFORE the season started not after a couple of good performances by them unlike some on here. BTW, Solly must start at RB against Oldham otherwise it's a travesty.

this is a discussion group right?;->

I blame that on the coaching.
;o)
The stats won't give him any credit, but we should!
Leaburn did something Akpo can't and Akpo does something Leaburn couldnt. There is little or no similarity in play style!
No , you didnt have to .
IMPLYING WHAT, SIR! You have dishonoured my good name
I throw my imaginary gauntlet at your feet and challenge you to a duel, sabres at dawn, my seconds will be in touch. ?;-{>
i remind you, i used the phrase "legend leaburn" that doesn't translate as crap or shite in my book and i do not think the same of akpo!
Very Good! Point taken

Today's game is much faster than in Leaburn's day...
Remember Solly was lightweight and Waggy was just not good enough about 10 days ago.

A bit harsh, Lawrie.

Bit of a Dave Mooney, I suppose.
Billy Lansdowne, Barry Enden, Mike F******** Small.
Not your finest signing Theo ..... but then you did sign King Arthur, Killer, Flash and, erm, Dickie, Dickie, Dickie Plumb.

He has his limitations - but he's good at what he's good at. Parky thinks so too.
whoopee ;0)
