Without his goals last season we wouldn't be where we are now and for that I have a lot of respect for the bloke and hope he does well wherever he goes
First 20 goals a season striker for yonks ...... Probably since Super Clive which normally equates to promotion and did. Served us well didn't work out for him this season but will always be a favourite of mine.
I like BWP and I think it's fair to say that without his efforts we would not be in the Championship this season, but sadly the step up seems just a level too high for him. I'd much rather have the good memories of his getting the goals and glory of being a top rate L1 striker than seeing him floundering around in the Champ, all those memories fading fast.

Pretty sure Hunt and Bent both got 20+ goals since Super Clive but take your point. I've got a lot of time for BWP and we wouldn't be where we are without him. Good luck to him but hope he stays at Charlton!
A lot of Bees fans have been less than impressed but he's starting to find form and fitness now so is winning them over. Apparently last night's goal was a bullet near-post header and he had a good game generally.

Yes and no :-) Clive Mendonca 28 goals 1997/98 promoted via play offs. Andy Hunt 24 goals 1999/00 promoted as Division 1 Champions, Darren Bent 18 goals 2005/6 13 goals 2006/7 in the Premiership. Oops how could I overlook Andy Hunt :-(

Nobody is going to be impressed with a striker who does not score, especially one like BWP who has a languid style. Now he has got a couple, he'll win them over. Lets face it, we were not all impressed during his 1/2 season dry spell and I do know of someone who runs a Charlton list who was told to F Off by BWP when he was calling him a lazy person in his first season with us.

If we're being pedantic, you didn't say league goals, and Darren Bent got 20+ if you include cup goals. However, you were talking about it in the context of getting promoted, so I guess league goals only was implied...

Pedantic Lifers, surely not. Given that cup goals would not help directly towards promotion your guess is correct plus of course Darren's league goals were nothing to do with a promotion push :-)
BWP did a fantastic job for us last season and helped get us promoted but this season it has looked a league too far. I do think he's a confidence player and so needs to score regularly. Don't think he will be back and will be offloaded but I wish him well and hope he finds a good club.

To be fair to BWP most of his games we had Hollands clearly not over his big toe (could he do a job now?) JJ playing wide and we were pretty poor.
BWP scored twice to pull Brentford level today, and assisted Donaldson for (what will probably be) the winner. My brentford mate says hes gunna snog me next time i see him, a huge win for him. Good on BWP, hopefully he can grab a few more for them (but hopefully i wont be getting any kisses!)
Used my 50 free bet with Ladbrooks from GN on acca of bayern, borroussia and brentford.........the bees l0l Had given up on it, was gutted 2-1 down with a few minutes left, thankfully our rout had offset the disappointment. Was shocked to see they won 3-1. Get in their Bradders

agree with what you said
The Spanners will love that.They can chant 'thief' and 'your s.i. and your Dad's a c..t' at every match then and to one of their own players.
