Reminds me of Marcus Rashford....what a quality signing

I know we have to move on from the past....but oh what a difference it might have made, to have had Reeco earlier in the season. Still.... 3 more points today and 5 teams now very catchable! COYB's!

Interesting comparison but I know what you mean.
First thing sorted- he is not a target man, and his strength isn't in the air. MM played Akinola down the middle and Hackett wide and that's how it will be. Hackett is the perfect right side of a three behind the striker. In a 433, 4231, 4141 or whatever.
Akinola is far better in the air- and actually nearer full shapes Akinola is look very good in that role

H-F actually didn’t see that much/enough of the ball but, from what I can remember, he went up for two headers, and won them both.

I see some comparisons to Collymore on Shrimperzone today.

That was 28 years ago ?!
A brace & a struck post on Reecos debut would be welcome ?.
No pressure son?

Well it took the lad 3 mins to get the winner. Happy birthday ! Pressure? What pressure
