I don’t think Ladapo is a starter to be honest, again, he’ll be a right pain with 30 to go, but not to get a game going
I'm baffled by the amount of people that appear to have written Ladapo off as some kind of carthorse. The guy scored plenty of goals at this level and got promoted out of this division THREE times.
But after just a few weeks coming into a shit team that is losing most weeks, has no confidence and creates very little, he's suddenly deemed to be this terrible player. Maybe, just maybe, Charlton are the problem and not him.
I haven’t written him off, but Ipswich used him a lot as a finisher, once Conor Chaplin and the gang had done their worst
My post wasn't specifically aimed at you, just in general to the many posts i've seen slagging him off as the reincarnation of Mike Small.
Get Chuks on the pitch tomorrow. We desperately need these 3 points. If we achieve that and his injuries blow up again then at least it will give Jones/Hart a bit more time to work on the team. Hopefully Chuks will stay fit for the remainder of the season. 🤞
Hoping Chuks stays fit for remainder of season is as likely as you attending all remaining home games this season😂
Personally wouldn’t play him today, the quicker he’s rushed back then the quicker he will get injured again. He needs really slow short introductions to build up fitness and some sort of resilience if he has any.
Just need him on the pitch being a physical nuisance, not to chase down dead balls or run down the channels. Have the ball stick, use his strength and an eye for goal.
Was brilliant today, as I said on the post match thread their defence were terrified of him and his close control was essential in the goal. If he can stay fit and play half an hour for 5 or so of our games I think we could be ok
Most vocal player on the pitch and leads by example for us. His presence is enough to unsettle defenders. Any hope of staying up rest on him staying fit.
I thought it looked like he was limping as he hobbled off at the end
In his cameo he took two standing counts of 8 and was nearly KO, missed a couple of half chances, made an assist for Ladapo, livened up the crowd and possibly limped off from force of habit.
If only he could play 30 minutes every game as in the 7 games he has played this season we have won 3 and drew 4. That may need checking as I have put that down from memory 🤔

The only player with quality in our whole squad.
