Thought he looked very sharp today. Some great touches. But he’s already getting stick on the players marks thread 😂
Yeah, you couldn't make it up, could you?
Poor bloke hasn't played a game for almost a year, been without a club all season and comes on after a fortnight's training ..... and plays a key role in our winning goal.
Connor looked ok today in his short cameo, with a nice little flick on for Alfie's second... Can see the years contract coming up before the end of the season...
I thought he did ok too. Probably a bit slow but to be expected, but some nice touches and an assist. Ladapo however looked like he was running in treacle in his five minute cameo.
I didn't think he looked at all match ready. There were some GREAT touches including the flick on for the third, and a moment where he did one of their CBs with his feet to play a probing ball, but he looked quite lethargic and not able to help out defensively at points. But he's a good footballer and you can tell he has great instincts.

He’s a free agent for a reason! Or more likely several reasons. So long as we’re not expecting miracles (or even the CW from a decade ago) we won’t be disappointed. As a cameo I thought he did quite well today. But I can’t see him being a long term option.

maybe this is his new home - give people a 2nd chance

Yup. He’s got half a dozen games to make his case. He’s had a lot of second chances though…,,,
The type of player we needed when we signed Ladapo only Connor Wickham clearly just needed 2 weeks to be introduced to his striking partners. One more week before the next game so wouldn’t surprise me if he started that one upfront with Kanu and Alfie being let loose behind them.
Unsurprisingly I can't believe many of the comments. Wickham came on and set up the winner with his FIRST touch. He showed better touch and control than any Charlton player for many a year. He's obviously not match fit but neither would Mbappe be if he'd hardly played all season. I thought he was just what we needed and undoubtedly helped us win the game.
He had a good short term spell at Forest Green in L1 last season where he scored goals, then moved up the ladder to Cardiff where he was less successful, but seemed over his injury issues.
A mystery why he hasn't got a club this season until now. Maybe he was still hoping for another Championship club, or none of the L1 clubs that approached him appealed.
If he can get fit (and stay that way!) I can see him being a definite asset and worth holding on to - probably not going to score huge amounts of goals himself but players like May or Kanu will definitely benefit from having someone like him to play off.

Jury still well out for me.

Contract might be there for him next season if he comes in and performs

Quite a sizeable "if" though
