Feel sorry for the lad, had a cracking start last season for us and played a big part in some of the best football I had see at Charlton for quite a few years, Very unlucky to be dropped for Kermit but fair play to Kermit he took his place and never let it go. Hope he finds his form soon.

Hope Paul wins them over at Brentford he did a good job for us when called upon.
Not that booing him is gunna help anything obviously
Think there's just some people who can't be doing with a forward who doesn't frequently bang them in.
If you know you've had a sh!t day at work, your boss tearing a strip off you is unlikely to change anything for the better.
Tell me a time when booing a Charlton player or manager has really worked in our favor?
Did have games where he couldnt find the net, remember the scunny game last year when he missed about 6-7 chances and was replaced by Jason Euell.
Think his little spell at Wycombe fooled herr rosler
Supporters pay their money. I wouldn't boo my team for losing, but I will if they have no fight or spirit and just give up. If any pro footballer doesn't like it then pack up the game they are privileged and lucky enough to get paid (well) for and go and do a normal job like most of the supporters do.

Fine, boo them if you feel necessary - but again, it won't actually achieve anything whatsoever other than more discontent.
I'm sick of hearing about how supporters pay their money and therefore expect results. Supporters of all teams play money to watch Football, but they can't have it their way all the time. Teams have to lose every now and then. From time to time, they have to get a thrashing - it wouldn't be Football if it didn't work like that.
And believe it or not, there are also times when players don't put in 100% or have an off day, for whatever reason. Have you given absolutely 100% in every day you've had at work? Have you never come away from work thinking "Maybe I could have done a bit more in reflection"?

I'm sick of people comparing being a privileged pro footballer and someone doing a normal job, people do not pay their hard earned to watch me at work. Ridiculous comment.
Read my post again Tom, any sportsman who plays with no spirit or passion deserves all they get, I never once mentioned expecting results. A poor effort at spin!
It doesn't matter how privileged they are. They are still human beings who suffer the same ups and downs with work as the rest of us do.
All this tripe about "no spirit or passion" - so many seem to get this mixed up with lack of confidence. And more often than not, that lack of confidence comes through lack of backing from those around them.
Everyone gets in a huff and puff about how much England players earn and how little result they produce in tournaments. Sorry, but if I played for the England team and 90% of the supporters had no interest in doing anything but slagging off, then I probably wouldn't play to the best of my ability either. Nothing to do with 'no passion'.
No do not seem to have any idea about the make up of most sportsmen, you can have as much skill as you like, but if you have no passion, or spirit or fight, then all the talent in the world will not make up for that. A club at our level will not have the greatest technical players, so we have to make it up with fight and passion. It is not 'tripe' it is fact. If they leave that in the dressing room then we have no chance, there is no excuse for not fighting for our club and for that I will boo, like I said in my first post, I will not boo a player for trying or for getting it wrong, BUT if they do not try I will be on their back.
The booing debate has been done to death on here and I'm not interested in opening it again but Paul had the benefit of playing in a better side with us; we had a fantastic start to the season; and he had BWP scoring goals from the assists he was providing. If he was signed as an out and out goal scorer then he is going to suffer some criticism from the fans as he, clearly, is not one of those. His time at Wycombe was not, really, characteristic of his career and unless they have a poacher that can feed off his passes like BWP or Beaveron (what ever his name was) he is going to struggle a little bit.
His best seasons have been as a modest scoring forward in teams that challenged for or won promotion from the third division, I don't see Brentford as one of those so I have to wonder if his time there is going to be more Scunthorpe or more Preston.
Good luck to him, but if the rumours of him being on a contract of £5,000 a week are true then I can understand why some of the Brentford fans might be expecting a little more.
OK, I dont mind fueling your fire, off the top of my head - M Bent, JFH, Carlton Cole, even Murphy had a few games where he appeared to not give a fuck! Enough or do you want more?
What I find appalling is the treatment given to players like David Mooney, who was booed by morons before he had even taken to the pitch, but I guess you were expecting me to name him in my list above.
I do agree with Tom that booing doesnt achieve anything in terms of outcome but a player who clearly isn't working hard is pretty much taking the piss out of fans that sing his name, pay good money to support them and the kids that idolise them.
. I wrote to him too to apologise for the covered end.
People complain about booing the team (even when sometimes it's deserved) but when it's directed at one player it's really not on.
