Has Perkins got an attitude problem?, was spotted having words with Richie during the game.

He always has a face on
I think, he thinks he's better than he is
Bringing him to the club was an almighty mistake
He's terrible

He needs to go back asap and we need to replace him with a proper striker that can make a difference in L1 and replace Kelman of& the bench when he’s knackered , and have impact . We need to be seeking who that striker IS NOW .

Did hear about that. At the end of the day, you have to earn the right to play....as a starter or sub. Perkins has done NOTHING to show he is deserving of coming on to play. He has nobody to blame but himself. Ship him back.

From what I've seen of Perkins so far he offers next to nothing .I can now see why he never got a game at Oxford .

As we know he was on loan at Oxford for half of last season, where he made one late sub appearance in L1 and two appearances in the EFL Trophy, scoring one goal. Leeds recalled him at the beginning of January due to limited playing time. It hardly inspires confidence.

It's an odd one.

When it's clear to all of us armchair managers that he hasn't got what it takes, you have to assume that either Richie sees something in training which is never apparent in a match, or Richie has less of a clue than all of us, or Perkins is here simply to make up the numbers

My worry is if anything happens to Dan or Charlie then he's all we've got.

If Donley and Jaiyesimi aren't seen as options in that role then Perkins gets the spot by default

I've got a golfing friend whose son was at West Ham with him and my friend reckons he was over-rated then and has never shown much promise.

No pace, no power, never looks like he sweats for the cause of winning a game. He's been a disappointment and I can't see how he will improve.

Makes Donley look world class. Amazing that scouts can get things so wrong.

Well if the forward line can't score against 16th in League 2 reserves then there's precious little hope for being much use at this level

Thought Perkins was ok in first half. Always offering for the ball and playing off the last shoulder. If he could learn to stay onside would have chances.

only seen bits but he had one that finished off an excellent move. Wasn't the easiest to get a shot off and the keeper made a decent save but it was moreorless straight at him.

I feel a bit sorry for the lad. He had one shot which the keeper made a good save. Just not getting the ball in the right places currently.

He just needs a goal to settle down. He is too eager

He got about 70 minutes tonight,
Didn’t think he got a lot of service TBH
He needs to go out on loan to get more experience, maybe a National League club

He needs to go out on loan at a lower level, he doesn’t look ready for League One, and didn’t do much tonight
