"We deserved more than that , these are the moments that define a season." That was the sentiment from Braintree's J. Akinde after their recent draw against Dagenham & Redbridge, a match where he was denied a goal several times.

Akinde's ability to position himself correctly within the box has resulted in a remarkable scoring record for Braintree. He has netted nine goals this season, establishing himself as a crucial player for the team. His physicality and pace are evident every time he steps on the pitch. Opponents struggle to contain him, often resorting to fouls to slow him down.

In recent weeks, his on-field chemistry with T. Blackwell has improved significantly. They have been exchanging clever passes, complicating the opposition's defensive strategies. During training, coach has implemented drills focusing on their combination play, which has paid off in matches. This dynamic duo is proving hard to stop.

Fans are favoring Akinde's performances. Each game brings anticipation for more goals. His hard work is paying off in dividends, and pressure is mounting for him to maintain this form. As Braintree heads into a critical stretch of fixtures, eyes will be on Akinde to deliver the goods and help propel the team upward in the National League standings.
