Maybe I'm the only one, but I thought he looked awful!

I thought Leon Britton looked a bit classy against us. akinfenwa was a nothing against us, pawel abbot looked better

 

[MilkeySUFC]

Can't say Akinfenwa would make my team of the season so far either.

Agreed...

I think Pawel Abbott perhaps, or any one of a number of forwards would get the nod from me ahead of Akinfenwa...

However I think the rest of your team looks pretty good - possible exception of Monk. Although he played well on Saturday I think there are better in this division.

 

[canveyshrimper]

Pawel Abbott, Lowndes & Facey of Tranmere were better than Akinfenwa IMO.

One small problem: They dont play for opposing teams - they play for us!

Although it is open to debate occasionally (particularly the last one)...

Thought that (a) Amankwaah was a right back; and (b) was a bit of a show pony.

[Shrimp in a Kilt]

The Swans report that Shrimpboy flagged up for us was of the same opinion about Akinfenwah - not that impressive.

 

[Guest]

Sam Aiston was quality for Tranmere!

 

[BluePartridge]

GK: Russell Hoult (Although he is back at West Brom now - The only other keeper I can remember was the Barnet keeper, which doesn't count.)
DR: Kevin Amankwaah
DC: Andrew Crosby
DC: Robert Hassell
DL: Sam Ricketts
MR: Mark Wright
MC: Jonathon Worthington
MC: Anthony Dinning
ML: Kris Commons
SC: Lee Trundle
SC: Pawel Abbott

TBH I never really pay attention to the other team.

Matt

Stand corrected,he was a right back. I must have been thinking of our left back as I as writing his name

Therefore, Amankwaah comes in to my original team at right back, with Holdsworth dropping to the bench, and Sam Ricketts coming in at left-back.

It's all about opinions and I though that Akinfenwa was highly impressive. I think he takes a lot of the workload of Trundle, and I guess that Trundle wouldn't have scored the volume of goals he has this season without him. Maybe like David Crown wouldn't have scored as many without Big Roy?

Or maybe Mickey Bell for left back. Don't think we got past him when The Vale cam to the hall

 

[OlvisIII]

I still don't get the hype about Amankwaah. There was masses on here after the game about him being better than Lewis which I just can't understand. He looked ok coming forward, but at times did look like bambi on ice. Two goals that night came from his areas, not a great stat as a defender. Not a fan I'm afraid.
