Will he cut it? He could of had way more than 22 goals this season with the amount of chances he had. I still think we should keep him and he could defiantly make a difference next season as he is a good player its just that he missed to many good chances in league 1 and theoretically it will be harder to score in The Championship.
And if not BWP then who? I like the look of Haynes and I reckon he could do a good job next season or do we need someone else?
I mean he might cut it or he might flop, we will just have to wait and see.

To score 22 goals in League One tells me that BWP is invariably in the right place at the right time.
That's 90% of the job.
And like most strikers, it's all about confidence........when you're scoring goals, even the miss-hits go in.
BWP has predatory instincts ...... look at the way he took that promotion winning goal at Carlisle or his goal at Scunthorpe.
With that technique and sharpness, he's capable of scoring plenty in the Championship.
How BWP performs in the Championship, as we have seen this season, really comes down to how well the team around him are doing.
He never stopped working the channels and drawing markers away, to allow our midfield to come through and chip in with goals. Yann was doing the same, of course.
But during this last season, BWP learned to become a real team player.
And so did Yann, after being an individualist at Leicester.
Don't underestimate the influence of our management team.
A4life I would really like to know on what basis you think that Haynes could do a good job in replacing BWP. He's hardly set the place alight goal scoring wise at any club that he's been at, what have you seen in him to make you think that will change at Charlton ? I think he's a good squad player to maybe come on as a sub when we're chasing the game as his speed will certainly cause problems but I don't see him as a free scoring striker.
His all round game improved greatly since last summer, and he fully deserves a shot at the Championship next season. We would not be there without BWP and his goals.
Best goalscorer we have had since Darren Bent.
He'll score 15 this season, Yann will score 10, Haynes will nab 12, Waggy 5, Green 3, Jackson 9, Solly and Wiggy 2 each.
The others and new players? Who knows?
Seriously, strikers like to think they can convert 1 chance in 3. That's the rule of thumb.
BWP will be as good in the Champs as the service he is given.
Give the lad a break , sure he missed a few all strikers do , Bradders goes through hot and cold spells , we need to back him , not scare him off.
In the championships, you need at least x2 goal scoring strikers, Norwich and Southampton were successful due to having x2 decent goal scorers in the team.
We need another decent striker alongside BWP, opposition defences can concentrate and ensure that one goalscorer doesn't score. The other thing is all strikers go through patches where they don't score, having another striker would take the pressure off BWP both practically and mentally. Strikers also get injured and knackered. If we are going to be successful, then we need another decent hungry, goal scoring striker.
(With decent service from the midfield).
I think that the support that Charlton supporters gave to BWP during the period he did not score was excellent, helped by his work rate. But I think that really helps strikers and BWP knowing that the crowd cuts him slack.
BWP can definitely cut it but that is with the context of a decent balanced team.
A question is Charlton the first team that BWP been promoted with ?
