I though he did well on Saturday and ran his socks off, however just before he came of he didn't chase down a back pass (the only time he didn't) and this Geezer a couple of rows back (NW Quad) caned him, 'chase it you lazy c**t etc'.
Don't you love our supporters, ironically this bloke looked like he had eaten a space hopper for breakfast!!

Still would prefer him to be a back up or someone brought on
Sodje played really well, and if you look at the replay, was really unlucky with the first attempt that skimmed the crossbar. The ball came in really fast and he had a player right up his A_Hole.
Good positioning and kept it down for the GOAL, was a handful/looked hungry for almost all the game: very good performance for the first game of the season.
I can see that coming up on "A Question of Sport" in the "what happened next round". His eyesight is good enough for him to be a ref!
Ah, we seem to have our fair share of the non-thinking class of supporter.
Good job not everyone's like that.
Akpo really did his job ..... and scored the winner.
We know his strengths and we know his limitations - so what more can we ask?
We could go for say Abbott up front with Martin just in behind, and at times it will be good to watch. There will be games though when Abbott and Sodje is the best option, it stops defenders winning the ball in the air easily, gives us another two big players to defend set pieces and there is always two outlets to go long when needed.
I can see why people don't want Sodje in the team, I don't rate him that highly myself, but as long as he stays fit he can play an important part this season. It's not as if he's just a League One Heskey who can't score and is only there to hold up the ball. Parky has said he wants at least one more striker, I doubt he'll be in the team every week unless he keeps scoring.
He might only be a League One player, but that's where we are and despite all the frustrating things he does/doesn't do, he is effective and has a decent scoring record for us. I'd rather that than another Varney type player who looks the better footballer but doesn't look like scoring.
I think he's our worst player but we have a good squad so that's not really a problem. What he lacks in quality I suppose he makes up for in effort. He should only be a sub though imo, as we need someone better. If we get that extra striker in, we'll be very capable of getting promoted I think.".... im sorry but was i watching the same player as you because every time we hit the ball anywhere near akpo he got on the end of it, he completely manhandled their entire defence. Are worst player? i think not sir.
Backed him to score 10-15 goals this season. He is limited and some don't rate him but in the last 8 months he's probably scored more goals for us than Burton, Mooney and Forster did.
from 11 starts i think he has scored 7
But the league one Heskey label amuses me...... ( I think some call that a back handed compliment)
This was going on before the Bournemouth game. Now after he WON us that game and played very well (universally accepted FACT) you are still picking OUR player apart.
Give it a rest and support him over the majority of the season will ya all?
You never know, he might hustle and bustle us out of this league starting with HIS goal on Saturday.
If Akpo was a new signing making his debut last Saturday, people would be saying he looks very promising - real handful for defences, works his socks off .....and scored the winner.
People would be singing his praises!
Instead we seem to have blind prejudice against the player, regardless of his performance.
When are we going to get behind all our players?
It is me saying that...... Once again The league one Heskey, who knows he could be the new Carl Leaburn......
Last season, before we all realised what a waste of space Chris Dickson was, it was argued that whilst he did nothing he was capable of scoring goals and vociferously it was demanded that he be in the team, now it seems to be being argued that although Akpoe scores goals he does nothing else, so he should not be in the team, it does not compute!
What more do people expect or want from a division 3 striker?
He is good at the level and thus is what we need to hopefully progress beyond this level. If we go up then back to the drawing board probably re Akpo but at this level he is fine.
Yep, and that is going to be the difference this season: service for the strikers!
Out of 2!
