Danny Haynes is like one of those 'fragile' fast bowlers you get in cricket, the sort of bloke who, when fit, can take 5-25 in one spell and then get injured and miss the next couple of games.
Surely only his injuries have stopped him playing Premier League?
Lovely strike .... I think he's better as a sub to come on than as a starter but just when I think he needs too many chances to hit the net he pulls out a goal from somewhere and todays was an absolute beauty !
Superb goal. His minutes on the pitch to goals ratio must be immense. Could be that 25 goal striker if only he could stay fit - and most of them are spectacular!
That was a pretty audacious effort - the next 20 times he does that it'll probably go over or wide, but fair play to him for taking the chance.
Good bit of strength and a lovely little pull back by Pritch to set up Yann as well.
Have to say, on the little bit I saw of Haynes last season he seemed to be all pace and not a lot else. Wasn't sure about him at all, but there's no arguing with his goals to games ratio so far this season. If we keep him fit and in form we'll be very comfortable in mid table by the end of the season.
I think Danny Haynes is one of those players who needs to feel loved, the Charlton fans were singing his name before he came on and let rip, sorry Danny , I was the walley standing in the stairway going mad punching the air like a teenager!
If Messi or Ronaldo had hit that , pundits would be purring for years over it, you could see he wanted to make a statement and say I'm back.
If there's a solution to his problem then we should seriously consider tieing him down and paying whatever the cost might be to get it sorted. A fully fit and firing Haynes would be worth millions to us.
Great to watch him in full flow, but well done Chris Powell who brought him on and gave him 20 minutes to make a difference which he did almost immediately. CP is on a learning curve, I would have expected him to bring on another defender to protect the point. I wonder if the medical team are taking any particular steps to try and help Danny with his hamstrings ? What a player a fully fit Danny Haynes could be.

Great minds, Weegie ! Was saying exactly the same on our way home last night.

Wonderful goal, no backlift but tremendous power & past Schmeichel in a flash. And the joy on his face as he ran to our fan's corner...priceless!! :-)

I can now fully understand why this picture is knocking around twitter tonight [link]!!
If he could stay fit, he would be scoring 20 plus a season

How on earth is a bloke with his quality spent half his career knocking about at the likes of Barnsley, Bristol City etc?
As has been said, if he had decent hamstrings, he wouldn't be with us haha.
