Adelakun???

[Alan Southstand]

Forgive me if I’ve missed it on other posts/threads, but what the hell has happened to Adelakun? Once again, not on Salford’s team sheet.

[adamtherover]

Been missing for a month now?

[ncRover]

He’s just injured what else would it be?

I'm just glad we made a offer and stuck to it and didn't over spend on a player I think wouldn't of had the same impact this season. As well as he did there was another 10 players who all contributed to that amazing run of form.

Not our player, not our problem !

[Padge_DRFC]

If we had unlimited funds I'd have loved him here. Imagine him as another option to have.

[Northants Nomad]

If we had unlimited funds, we wouldn't have gone near him.

[Chris Black come back]

Starts tonight against Man City.

Jon Taylor on the bench.

Jon Taylor on the bench.

Ooh, might sway me to watch it, trying to decide wether to watch that or Leeds Harrigate.

[Chris Black come back]

Quite a few Man United fans in the away end tonight I hear.

[duggiesmyhero]

Considering they've sold 5000 tickets I think that's a given.

[ncRover]

Fancy him to cause some problems against the City youngsters at the back.
I liked Kouassi when they played us too, surprised we didn’t go for him seems McCann’s type.

Salford getting murdered.

[Alan Southstand]

I can see why they’re on a bit of a run in L2, though. Some industrial challenges going in. Our midfield is powder puff by comparison.

Could do with a few injuries in this game, which may happen in second half when they’re blowing out of every orifice!

In the starting X1

[LincsRover]

Jon Taylor on as sub - interesting

[Colemans Left Hook]

was it Adelakun who received the pass from a free kick in the first half (late on) on the left and put the pass in where The Salford player couldn't miss  but did ?

[scawsby steve]

Harrogate are making a much better fist of it at Leeds.

[Colemans Left Hook]

Salford getting murdered.

we lost 8-0 to Crewe and after that I immediately said we would get back into the league and it's only 7-0 as I type

update
8-0

deja vu !!  I will come back to this post at the end of the season

[ncRover]

Yeah nice one

[ForsolongaRover]

It wasn’t easy to see what Salford’s attacking plan was, but Adelukan was not in any sort of prominent role. Do they recognise and play to his strengths or have they tried and it has not worked?

[Colemans Left Hook]

it seems the answer was YES  it must have been only 2-0 at the time !!

"Had Kylian Kouassi been able to turn Hakeeb Adelakun's excellent left-wing cross goalwards from a central position on the edge of the six-yard box, Salford would have halved Manchester City's lead and felt as though they still had hopes of a huge shock.

Instead, Kouassi stubbed the ball away from the net and within seconds O'Reilly was spearing his debut goal into the far corner at the other end of the pitch.

Those few seconds underlined the gulf in class that remains between a side struggling for form in the Premier League and one that has been winning matches for fun three tiers below."

[ForsolongaRover]

I based my Adelukan comment on the second half as I didn’t see the first.

[Ian Nimmo]

I know they were playing Man City but Adelakun did very little, seemed to be leaving all the work to others. Although one cross into boss was unmissable, he put it right onto the players feet who missed!
Lund and Garbutt were two who stood out for me, terrific work rate from both.

[StocksArmy]

What Adelakun did against Man City is irrelevant, it’s what he does in the league that he should be judged on and his goal return so far when fit has been very good. Pains me that we didn’t sign him and ended up with Gibson.

Blame his agent not Rovers

[GazLaz]

Didn’t he get offered fortunes from America and it didn’t end up coming off? He was waiting for that opportunity.

[Colemans Left Hook]

Last January when we signed Adelakun on loan from Lincoln as you can see I thought I had got my wish

CLH will be happy we’ve finally got a long thrower

https://youtu.be/kB0VTR1KD_0?si=hg0OqO1Is-OIssIF

Nice finish here too.

He is out of contract
https://www.weareimps.com/news/2024/january/adelakun-joins-doncaster-on-loan/

I see Hakeem as a more realistic permanent because after listening to the Waters interview he likes to be at home and is Cheshire based it would seem.

Reading on the Imps forum he was playing as a central striker but is more of a winger.

[/i]

Did anyone ever see him take a long throw for us  - watching that Tamworth No.4 today with the longest ever throw you will ever see once again reminded me what I was promised when he signed

Funny he still had the long throw a month before he signed for us !!!! 



"Match Thread: Lincoln City v Northampton Town
29 Dec 2023 · Breaking at pace with plenty of support. Neat and clever passing and a quality finish. Game over. Plus it came from another pointless Adelukan long throw. Could we have ...."

What I heard , not necessarily fortunes but as life choice you can't blame him for wanting to experience something new

I’m not blaming anybody. Just saying I’d have loved us to have signed him.
