I watched Barnet v Nuneaton in April 2015 when Barnet won the Conference.Same can be said for Charlie Kelman and his last appearance for us. It may be that Akinde is fed up at Gillingham and is just going through the motions. A bit like Leon Clarke also did for us in his last game, away at... can't remember. Nouble is another one... was awful here, but absolutely tore us a new one when he went to Newport and they beat us in the cup. We all wondered why he couldn't do that for us! I think it's a case of "wouldn't" rather than "couldn't".
But Akinde for me drops into that category of one minute you wonder why he's not in the Premier League, and another you wonder how he is even a professional footballer. But he is proven at NL level.
Beggars can't be choosers, as they say. This is the pond we now fish in.
Akinde scored, was booked and was the best player on show, working really hard for the team. Without wishing to stimulate a post from Barry C, I would note that he was 25 then and still hungry.
He's 32 now and, even if he has some good reasons for not giving a **** (working for Evans is surely one), I've had an absolute gutful of players with plenty of skill but *** all effort.
Marc Antoine Fortune he is not.
Not for me thanks.
