[Albion] Worst ever sub performance

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I think the issue is we paid 14 million for him and we expected him to hit the ground running

He did.....after he stepped on the ball.

 

[Gwylan]

Ah, to be so young and starry eyed that anything we do at this level could be viewed as "worst ....ever".

You never went to see us play home games at Priestfield did you, young Padawan.

Yep. A clear sign that the OP is a JCL, I remember subs who looked like they'd never seen a football before (actually, in Jonny Dixon's case, I'm not so sure that he had).

 

[Albion my Albion]

This is the actual WORST SUB PERFORMANCE

I'm sure Locadia can, at the least, blow!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Why, oh why, didn't he just hit the bloody thing when he was in front of goal, when you've got Murray in your side you pepper the goal because he'll always be on hand to knock it in with his knee, cheek or arse!

Locadia performance is the worst i have ever seen from a sub.surely andone or Izzy must be on bench instead v spurs

Then you never saw Akpom! Locadia at least tries; he just doesn't appear to be anywhere close to PL standard and should have been retained only to clean Tomer's boots.

However, not only was Akpom devoid of any talent he was a lazy shit as well.

 

[Biscuit]

He'll come good.

*ducks for cover*

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Totally unfair IMHO. His header that their goalkeeper saved was a stooping one, on target. He was also quite involved in a lot of play when he came on. OK not that successfully but if he had been totally anonymous people would have been a bit ore justified in their criticism of the lad. I think he will come good but believe Andone will be the go-to substitute with maybe Connoly or Gyokeres there as well.

So lay off Locadia FFS!

Worst sub performance was that defender who came on during an Adams game at Withdean. He came on during a free kick and got sent off within a few minutes of his arrival. Can’t recall his name though.

Posts #37 thru #39 may provide a few clues

 

[The Mole]

Graeme Smith against Huddersfield had a great start - came on after Kuipers had been sent off, got booked for dissent before play started. First action to pick the ball out the net. Then let in another 4 or 5 goals.

I've tried to withhold judgement and convince myself that he just needs game time, but he's had plenty long enough here now to show something to CH that he's worth it...and he's clearly failed. Tonight was a new nadir. A presentable opportunity to at least get an effort on goal, and he trips over the ball. Then we're under the cosh having just equalised, he receives the ball deep in our half, passes it straight to a stripe, then compounds it by running after him and fouling him just outside the box. Another night Ward-Prowse pings that in, but this time we got away with it.

I've had it now. Let him pursue his shit YouTube rapping career, and concentrate on collecting more elaborate tattoos. Its another Dutch duffer who needs to be farmed out. No matter how thorough your scouting and recruitment team is, there's inevitably always one of these herberts waiting in the wings that rocks up and stinks the place out - he's not the first, he won't be the last. Sometimes it just doesn't pan out, and this is one of them. Unfortunately a very expensive bollock has been dropped, it would appear we now have our very own van Wolfswinkle.

Cut losses, get rid.

Well we all know what will happen next. He’ll come on as a first choice or sub selection, play a blinder and score a hat trick. Then a huge humble pie will be consumed by all concerned. Wishful thinking, mais non?

 

[Bob'n'weave]

He had a bit of a crap game, but in the first half we were utter pants all round.

I don't think we have seen nearly enough of him in the first team to write him off completely.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

And yet he could have scored the equaliser if it wasn’t for a fantastic save from McCarthy. He did everything right with that header and was unlucky.

We do still need to back him. He really hasn’t had that long on the pitch for us in fairness to him, he just needs to find some confidence from somewhere. I have every faith in our recruitment team that they have signed another good player and he will come good.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

*ducks for cover*

Has he swapped rapping for porno?

*scopes around for coat*

 

[Puppet Master]

I thought it was a bizarre signing at the time. His goalscoring record in Holland wasn't the greatest

 

[Badger Boy]

Didn't he save the first one but let in another one later on? I might be getting my history confused though.

 

[GT49er]

Not sure what has happened to Dutch football since 2010 but he appears to be the latest in a very long line of players who’ve come here and stunk out the league. Last night he looked massively inept but then a spell back with the Dutch national side turned Propper from one of our best players pre break to someone who looked like he’d never met his team mates for 45 minutes last night.

It’s not going to be easy to get rid of Locadia just like that but he needs to go to someone that isn’t us and get his confidence back by playing and scoring. Is he allowed to go to The Red Lion now or do you have to wait for the window even in the Sussex Sunday League Division 5?

No idea. Do they allow DJing at their open mic nights?

Ouch! That's just cruel!

I'm loathe to do that myself, but perhaps the reason we've not seen much of him in the first team in the 18 months he's been here is because Hughton isn't seeing enough from him in training to warrant giving him some starts. Murrays form is a factor in that of course, but from the outside looking in, I don't think Locadia is giving Chris much of a selection headache thus far. He's not had much game time, but what he has had he's been totally ineffectual.

I will happily come back on here and plough my way through a slab of humble pie if Locadia turns it round and starts ripping it up in the PL. I honestly honestly hope he does. But on the evidence so far, I really can't see that happening.

18 months?!?!? He's been here since January?!?!

But yeah, he's got problems. Should possibly have dropped down into the championship for a loan spell, got to grips with the English game, because right now he's absolute pox.
