Scabbyhorse get back to championship manager mate. Its Saturday nothing to stop you playing right through the night
Yer ok m8 because if yann was playing we would off won 4-3 , because the chances we create with powells tactics the result would of been a forgone conclusion, get real. Do people actually think even if we had better players powell would change the way we play? We always set our selves up to hit teams on the break, in league one of course it proves affective because teams dont have the forwards to hurt us, in the championship im afraid its suicide football. So basically m8 dont give me the football manager bollocks, its cheap and makesbyou look silly.
Irony.
Yer and I don't like west ham or Scunthorpe either.
I happened to tune into the Bournmouth game just as Yann scored his third. The commentator said that Yann had written an extensive article for yesterdays programme in which he spoke about how difficult the past few weeks had been and of his love for Charlton. Also said that some parts of the interview had to be withdrawn because they were too sad!
Yann was out best player. We've lost him and we are missing him. We are significantly weaker without him (we have zero attacking threat from strikers, churches goal at hillsborough was not a strikers effort it was a header that anyone could have done). My worry is that without that hold up play up top, we lose the ball, sit deep and lose all counter attacking options and invite them to attack, I am sure that our exceptionally poor possession stats of late are in part down to not having Yann, he holds the ball up while the team bomb forward. Ajdarevic isn't quite there yet.
Slag Yann off all you like if it makes you feel better, but if he was at charlton now he would still be our best player. I don't care about his age and how good or useful he will be in a couple of seasons. We are in a relegation battle and have a shot at going to wembley. This is as far as I'm concerned a pretty important season, and we lost our best player. For me, that's unforgivable, he's been replaced by a guy who could be blown over in a light wind and spends half his time on the floor (without being clattered by CBs like Yann was) a guy who we spent way more than what we received for Yann on who can't even get on the bench (quick everyone, start shouting potential!!!) a guy on loan who to be fair I haven't seen much of, and we are left with a guy who would probably do quite well in a marathon but has a shot about as venemous as a puppies ear. I'm not even going to dignify talking about the others. We went from having a very small amount of strikers to a large quantity of second rate ones.
We have a very good defence and midfield in my opinion. Attacking, we have nothing.
So unless anyone telling us to stop being upset about Yann going can tell me where this new attacking threat is coming from, shut up and stop telling us to get over it. I'll get over it when we have strikers that can score goals.

At this moment selling Yann looks like a big mistake. Roland didn't have to sell him and has made relegation more likely by doing so in my opinion.
The longer we stay in the bottom 3, the longer our new signings go without regularly scoring, the more goals Yann scores, the longer we go without getting in Championship quality loans, the more times Charlton fans will say we shouldn't have sold our best attacking player and our only decent striker.
This is a football forum and posters are entitled to express their views regarding Yann, particularly in a thread titled 'Yann' put up after he's scored 3 and we've lost and haven't scored again.
I'm not going to support Bournemouth and I am 'over it' but VFF and others are entitled to say that selling Yann was a daft thing to do particularly if you're not going to replace him with a player of similar quality.
I would just like to express an opinion that disagrees with most other people's opinion, then call people that disagree with my opinion idiots, then when they defend themselves get all hoity toity that they have the temerity to disagree with me. That's all.

100% this. If Yann had been sold and we brought in a player who could kick a football with some venom at a goal then we wouldn't have an issue. Our strikeforce if we get relegated is an area I would want to see us improve on. It's not even good enough for a decent league one team at the moment.
To win games of football you need to score more goals than the opposition. Where are those goals coming from?
Some of you are acting like you've just been dumped by the love of your life.
Ffs he's a football player who has gone to a new club, move on. Yann has.
almost everyone is acting like they've been dumped by the love of their life. Some cope by saying how much they miss him, others cope by saying he was nothing to them in the first place.
I like to feel the more mature of the bunch can look back fondly and remember the good times, rather than going off with their mates and slagging them off.
Greenie Junior if there was a decent replacement for the KMG to knock the goals in of a player of similar quality then no one would be complaining. The issue is that KMG was sold and not replaced. It is about the quality in the strike force. It is not helpful to try and reduce the complaints about KMGs sale to a personal relationship matter ffs, that is completely missing the point.
Greenie Junior, in some senses this whole forum is full of people investing too much emotion into trivia relating to something that (viewed from the lense of human word history) is unimportant. You could just as easily write 'FFS it's just football, none of this really matters', which is essentially my kids' view of Charlton. They're not wrong really.
All the while we're in the bottom 3 and haven't replaced Yann then you'll get the '..we miss Yann' stuff. In a healthy, lively Charlton forum you'd expect to see this point of view and opposing ones.
You clearly don't want to hear what people have got to say on this point. I do and I agree that Yann's departure and non-replacement has weakened us overall. Hopefully we'll address it but I fear not.
A few salient points from me.....Yann is better than any of our current strike force.....He wouldn't have score a hat-trick for us because of our cautious style of play....Yann is probably passed his best and I would guess he will not be on the scene in three years time.....a Charlton icon in the eyes of some, but that is compared with the quality of our current and recent players....not to be compared with the likes of Killer, Clive, Darren and Andy Hunt.
You'd forget we just beat QPR and got the FA Cup quater finals by reading some of the posts on here, I remember Wigan away when everyone in the ground was talking about how good Reza was and suddenly because he's gone more than 4 games without scoring (Hitting the woodwork twice) people "aren't sure" about him. Ridiculous, I liked Yann as much as the next guy but we can't look at every clean sheet Norwich keep and wonder how different things might have been if we kept Michael Turner. I happen to think the players are more prone to a safe pass rather than an aimless hoof without Kermo on the pitch

Now putting on my tin hat for the responses!
You're right he isn't as good as those players. But then again if we were in the conference and a player got us promoted, I wouldn't say his contribution was any less because he was not as good as players of the past. Everything has to be taken in context of the times we were in.

You're right we are through to FA cup semis, feel free to gloss over the Yann equaliser against Oxford all you like :-)
Without him it would have been yet another humiliating "team didn't show up performance"
For gods sake people. Do some research. The more I see the Yann detractors clutching at straws to say he isn't all that the more your argument falls down.
We are a worse team without him. Simple as that. We could have kept him and not spent 800k on a kid who bangs them in for fun (in the Dutch second tier for Christs sake) and done much better.

Its about tactics o I cannot be bothered explain.

At least by the looks of things we won't be hearing from Vincent for a bit.

Rather him than some passive-agressive self-appointed forum guru!
