And not for good reasons.
Looks like the only part of the machine that doesn’t fit.
So much energy in possession. Control, turn, pass, move and we cut them open time after time second half.
In the first Piggott was a statue. Didn’t dominate even Needham Market players. Had one decent shot that he was unlucky not to score from but that aside he was totally anonymous.
By contrast, Ladapo immediately held the ball up, played it wide and we overloaded players in the box.
Really good work out but can’t see any way Piggott remains here next season. If McKenna rated his chances at all he’d have been ahead of Norwood and Bonne at the tail end of last season when we couldn’t make the top six. [Post edited 25 Jun 2022 18:17]

Who will want him that can afford his wages? We signed him from L1 club after a 20+ goal season on a free if a remember so good money will have been spent on offering him a decent contract. It was seen as a coup for Town. He won't attract interest from the Championship and which clubs in L1 are going to pay the same as us. We would have to pay him to leave! |  |

Charlton wanted him last season. Maybe they'll make an offer.
Maybe even a loan to a view to a perm. |  |

I can’t see him being any part of the 18 so, if he’s on say £7k a week, we’d be better off loaning him out to a League One or League Two side and getting £2k - £3k back a week. It’s still £100k - £150k saved over a season where he’s unlikely to feature.
He sadly offers nothing. I was excited when we signed him but he was poor under Cook and McKenna’s style suits him even less.
Think it’s a case of getting what we can. If Ashton sells him for any kind of fee it would be remarkable. | | | |

A lot of his goals for AFCW were from the penalty spot, I am not sure he was prolific from open play. | | | |

That's not true though, in is last season at Wimbledon of his 20 or so goals, only 3 were penalties. That said I'd agree he has had a pretty underwhelming start to his career as a Town player. [Post edited 26 Jun 2022 0:59]

Agree with this assessment. Worked hard yesterday but Ladapo looked like a considerable upgrade in terms of threat/ strength up top when he came on. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go out on loan, possibly back to AFCW in the League below. |  |

Think he has to work out what is more important playing games or earning the ££££, i dont see him currently playing for us on a regular basis so he might accept a pay cut to get regular game time. Another club may take the punt on a lower wage given his record pre ipswich. There are plenty of examples where it just doesn't work for a player at a certain club so a fresh start could be good for both club and player. Perhaps he can join toto at fleetwood and form a prolific strike partnership with harrison | | | |

He's flitted around the lower leagues for his whole career. This is the most he will ever have earned and will ever earn by a long shot and he still has two years left. I think moving him on is going to be costly for us whichever way you cut it. | | | |

My bad. I just had the impression from his highlights reels, that he scored a lot of penaliies.
47 goals in 137 games for AFCW, of which 5 were penalties. So around 1 in 3 from open play. | | | |

I think hes heavily affected by a lack of confidence, He doesn't appear to have settled well here either unsurprisingly given his off the field difficulties last year which would make it difficult for anyone.
I hope the club loan him out to see if he can get his mojo back elsewhere with regular football so he can start enjoying playing again, and then see if he can come back from that and do well for us before just off loading the guy so he can do well at a competitors. It also reflects better on the club when they can stand by a player that's gone through a lot. | | | |

He was great for Wimbledon. If we loan him out it needs to be to a team who do not appear to be any threat at this stage as a change of scene and a new dose of confidence and he could once again be that player. |  |

Send him wherever suits, if he does well, bring him back in Jan. |  |

Had many chances last season to show his potential and took none of them will be given time in the lower cup games as he is to expensive for another club to take on | | | |
