Looks like fitness to me, just seems a touch to slow. He looks busy enough so I really am hoping it is just a bit of time and it will happen. It's still not great and not what we need right now but then I guess if you're not first choice target there's a reason for that.1

Ladapo isn't the problem
I think that starting with REG, Coventry and Bakinson was the main issue yesterday.
Thats the problem with a caretaker manager, don't loose and no attacking intent. Hopefully Jones picked up on that2 -
Ladapo has between a 1 in 2.5-3 goal per game average for the last 7-8 years. I believe we will see goals but difficult for him to feed off 5 defensive players just behind him. Hoping Small, Ramsay and L Watson or Fiorini will add a bit more creativity vs Edun, T Watson and Bakinson. It really will help. Thinking on yesterday’s live up more, convinced our caretaker team set up for a 0-0. Would have got their wish other than for the pass mistake…0

When we signed Ladapo I was disappointed it wasn't a permanent signing.
Now I'm pleased it's only a loan.
I know he's not fully match fit but he needs to seriously up his game if we are to try and keep him next season.5 -

its like sending Joe root out to bat with a baseball bat and expecting him to get a 1004 -

I’m hoping that once he has found the net then his confidence will return and start banging them in.2

I think it’s fair to ask: if a man with a 1 in 3 goal-scoring record for multiple different clubs over the last 7 years suddenly looks this poor - is he the problem? or are *we* the problem?
Given that we now have multiple players with strong records in this division currently playing like they’ve never seen a football before, I’m inclined to give Ladapo the benefit of the doubt.

I fully agree he needs to improve his own levels but the defensive, backs to the wall set up isn't doing him any favours either - look at how goals have dried up for May to see that the midfield is a big part of the problem even if one of many.

Maybe no bad thing - at least he wouldn't be available for selection0 -
Ladapo or May wont be scoring very many with 9 defenders behind them. The attacking threat we have from midfield is just pathetic.8

1.Adam Matthews
2.Ben Amos
3.Sean Clare
4. The whole team except Alfie and Dobbo. Add new players who haven't been here long enough to read their team mates minds/intentions(Ladapo)
Lets try something new- lets try supporting our team .They do need help right now.0 -
Anyone else feel our current front two look like something a 10 year old would pick? Look down last seasons L1 top scorers and see who’s available.
We’ve blatantly needed a striker who can win headers, battle against CBs, hold up the ball and link up with May.
Instead we’ve gone for another poacher (last season) who also needs to play alongside Aneke or Leaburn to get the most out of him.
May doesn’t offer those things at all so it’s vital his partner does.
Tuesday is time to see if Kanu can offer more from the start of the game or if he looks better because he’s up against tiring defenders.
Have to pray Aneke has a good run of 20/30 minute appearances from the bench.8 -
Aneke will determine whether we stay up. Keep him in wool until we play the teams around us.2

Glad he got his goal at last. Hopefully that'll be him being more prolific. Did he seem to be giving it a little to fans in the east stand after scoring? Had he been getting a bit of dogs abuse from the tartan blanket brigade!?2

Seems a lovely bloke. Think the celebration was just a sense of relief2

He could stick two middle fingers up at the family zone after every goal for all I care, more goals and keep us up Ladapo, cheers.14

Interesting that he said it had been "confusing" here since his arrival and is that one of the reasons he hasn't hit the heights we were all hoping for?2

Really good interview and I am sure he will keep on improving and contributing more no doubting his ability0
