He was given a chance and he didn't take it. Obviously the right decision to bring him off but didn't deserve to be booed imho.

Until today he's played about an hour.
Defo a game for Hened today as was to physical for Akpon. Still no point booing the lad not nessessary

If he doesnt know how we play now he never will do. He was never, ever in the game. We had a chance of getting something at Leeds but CH decided on Akpom instead of Hemed. Chuba is out if his depth. We should have twisted Fulham's arm to get Cauly Woodrow
I didn't notice much quick or agile today, if I'm honest. Was still surprised at the booing and clapped him off myself.

Didn't notice any booing myself, was in East end of the North. Wouldn't have booed him, disappointed, was looking forward to seeing what he could do from the start. Precious little sadly, although as a team we were really not at the races first half which wouldn't have helped him. We just couldn't keep the ball and build up any attacking momentum

How long does a player need to "know how we play"?

We might still need him,so lets not ruin his confidence totally,i know he had a very poor game,and not it seemed giving no effort ,does not show any sort of class.I hope he watched Hemmed's efforts,although he missed a good chance.

He had a very poor game and showed little or no effort.
Didn't like the booing but he performance was terrible.

A token acquisition at the end of the transfer window to give a feeling of momentum. Shite.
God forbid if Murray, Baldock and Hemed had all been out at any stage.

No way did Akpom deserve booing. He just looked horribly out of his depth at this level, almost like a non-league player. Spent the hour he was on the pitch mainly hiding or playing timid inconsequential two yard passes. Might as well ship him back to Arsenal now. He's no use to us at this stage in the game. Next time they ship him back out, they should ship him down another level to build up his confidence a bit, and maybe discover some real hunger for the game. He was just a passenger today.

Don't wait for me!
I can't think of single thing he did right today. We'll need to start with Solly or Hemed next time.

Needs to learn how to stay onside too.
Lacking in either confidence or ability and subbing him was a good call.
I don't agree with booing any youngster though - bang out of order really.

Lazy, not interested! Did nt deserve that though!.Just showed how good Baldock is! Thought our fans were always a classier bunch who never booed anyone in the blue and white stripes, especially a young man making his full Albion debut! Shame on you muppets! Go and support Pompey or Palace!
