Just wanted to post that after yesterdays game I saw Leroy take off his boots and give them to a young lad at the front of the north stand. Say what you like about the game yesterday but in 46 years of being addickted I have never seen that before. As you can imagine the young boy was absolutely chuffed to bits. That one gesture probably means that he has sentenced the youngster to a lifelong love affair with this great football club. At a time when most of the coverage footballers receive is about greed and lack of commitment it made me feel proud that Leroy was wearing the Charlton shirt. His wonderful goal celebration also proved that this player does give a sh1t. I doubt that we could afford to sign him permanently but I really hope we can and do. He is obviously the sort of player we need at The Valley. Compare that with the Marcus Bents of this world. Well done Leroy. COMMON YOU REDS

So maybe. But I guess we would have to offload somebody (or 2).
Well i'm not anti Lita but that is ridiculous!!!!! i new he would come good (he had to as he has been awfull so far, including yesterday)
As for his reaction to the goal being good, yeah fantastic take your shirt of and get booked !! I really dont get SOME people on here.
the only forwards at our club that look remotely interested (and good enough )are Varney, Dickson and Todorov. Good riddens to the rest of them.
Of the other strikers, I like Varney's work effort but I don't think he's the 20 goal a season player Pardew billed him has. McLeod causes problems for defences but lacks composure in front of goal (he was also billed as a player who should get 20 goals this year). Todorov has been missed and Dickson looks promising, but Gray has been the worst signing for me. I just hope that the money we spent on him would prevent us from being able to buy Lita if Reading make him available.
Hate to be a party pooper fellas but i think you'll find that was Lita's 50 th career goal and his celebration was more for his personal achievement than our plight.This would explain why he didn't rush to pick the ball out of the net to get the game re-started and give us a chance of winning a game that we desperately needed to win.It was the 90th minute afterall!
I'm reserving judgement on him as i've heard he has attitude problems which is another reason Coppell wants to get shot of him.
Still i'm sure you'll all be moaning about him again next week when he can't hit a cows arse.
forgot all about the talal incident , made me remember how much shame the elk brought on us with his constant play acting , pathetic.
An alternitive view would be that he should off used up more time celebrating an then maybe we would have got a point.
how people know what went through his head is beyond me... would you not be more worried if he did some gangster, arrogant, unbothered celebration a la henry/thomas? we wanted passion... for whatever reason we got it
i'm more worried about how only Weaver could read the script for their winner (unlike our backline who all drifted to the ball, letting the runner sprint in and finish) than Lita wasting a probably non-existant chance of a winner. as a tongue in cheek BDL said maybe he should have taken another minute over it doing cartwheels and we would have taken a point!
I don't see the point in playing him over Luke Varney, our player.
That's exactly what I was thinging BDL - if he'd taken a bit longer we would've scraped a point. If he's been a bit quicker Wolves might've scored 2 more!
