Emile Acquah

[Leigh_Seasider]

Last season he didn’t look great when he played against us. He must have really knuckled down and something has clicked.

Good luck to the lad, I wish him all the best. It just didn’t work out here for him and unfortunately he became the boo thems target.

It’s always the striker’s fault, or the keeper’s fault it seems.

An England C call up alongside Gus and Sam Dalby.

Scored again tonight.

 

[The Dirty One]

And again today

Turning himself in to a decent goal scorer, come on massively since he was here where he looked like he wouldn’t have much of a career.

 

[Ricey]

Good for him, so many have left us and just disappeared into nothing. Hope he goes on to have a good career except when he plays against us then I hope he has a ****ter.

Fair play to the guy because he was miles off with us.

I think you'll find the football club was miles off, not Emile.

Fair play to the guy because he was miles off with us.

I think people forget because of his size that he was only 20 in his main season with us, he should have been developing in the youth team but was thrown in at the deep end because of our recruitment issues.

100% on the club being a mess. The guy was definitely thrown into the deep end and that wasn’t his fault. People like Kyle Taylor and Olayinka admittedly with different pedigree proved they were good enough to play at that level or above that season despite the results. Acquah was well short, it was unfair on him. Pleased to see he’s doing well.

 

[Barling Magna]

We could do with a high scoring striker like Emile Acquah now....

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Fair play to the guy because he was miles off with us.

Or your assessment of him was miles off…

In whose opinion?

In mine he looked like a decent young player playing with little confidence in a crap team.

Not at all

 

[amsemp]

Always stuck up for him when he became an easy scapegoat on here for many. We were an absolute mess on and off the field at the time he was thrown in. Was disappointed we didn’t give him another year as I always thought he could come good once he learnt how to use his frame and physicality. Glad he’s doing well.

 

[Shrimpet steve]

One of the worst strikers to have worn a southend shirt!

 

[Ricey]

If Steve says it then it must be true.

 

[Barling Magna]

One of the worst strikers to have worn a southend shirt!

And now one of the best in our league.

Another ringing endorsement. It's going to get to a stage where players are looking for you to dismiss them so that they know they're actually good.

 

[Shrimper]

Acquah was not good for us. Sometimes, it doesn't work and you have to move.
