Manager Dowie GK Yohann Thuram-Ulien - Sent over because Roland thought he was better than what we had. Didn't last long. RB Yassin Moutaouakil - Remember one clearance at Scunthorpe hit his standing foot to assist a winner for a shocking away day loss. LB Djimi Traore - Why oh why oh why. One of Dowies many disasters. CB Roger Johnson - So good we bought him twice. CB Rhys Williams - Looked ok when he made his fist appearance as sub. Went downhill from there including some classic non defending against a rampant Hull. RM Scott Sinclair - Showboating twat. LM Jesper Blomquist - Man United saw he best of him. We got the arse end of him. CM Mikel Alonso - A tramp managed to get on the pitch. Then I realized it was Alonso. Xavi's brother. CM Emmanuel Frimpong - Dench? Bum clench more like. CF Leon Cort - Scored goals everywhere else. A donkey for us. CF David Mooney - Scored goals but to me was one of the worst strikers to grace our club. Awful beyond belief. Remember the reaction to fans around me at some of his goal attempts. And then gave it the cupped ear to us when he scored. Clown.

Just caught up with this thread from the start, reading some of those names, there were some real shockers in there, but reading the name Frank Nouble sent shivers down my spine, such high hopes, but what a letdown,
Here's wondering what names we sign over the summer that will end up on this thread!
A lot of competition up front, Clarke, McKenzie, Akpo Sodje, Nathan Eccleston, Leroy Lita, Izale McLeoud should be high up on this list for me, the 2-3 times I saw Paul Hayes he look pretty awful. I didn't see Martyn Waghorn but he sounded pretty poor.
Thought Matty Spring was pretty poor and when he signed from Luton my Luton supporting friends said he wasn't up to much.
There's one more whose name I can't remember. He came through at Ipswich, I was at Portman Road when he sliced a cross into the top corner past Nicky Weaver. He later joined us, he was rubbish, just quick.

He was one of a long line of totally passive centre midfielders we have had since relegation from the Premier League, but he scored a winner vs Palace so has earnt diplomatic immunity from lists like this.

Sounds like Lee Martin, he was quick alright but very in and out.

Matt Spring did score the winning goal against Palace to break the 17 match or thereabouts not winning run in the previous relegation season from the championship into league one. Admittedly, he wasn't up to much but at least has that to his name.
I would like to formally revoke Matt Spring's name. I'd forgotten that the Palace goal gives him diplomatic immunity.
The player I was thinking of was Danny Haynes. Just look and his goal return of 9 in 34 isn't bad, I just always thought he was rubbish at the football part. Probably not deserving of this list though.
Danny Haynes was quick and did add a bit of pace to the team at the time that was desperately short of it. He scored a couple of quality goals, I remember. The problem was with his dodgy hamstrings and many injuries. Chocolate hamstrings as club comedian Andy Hughes put it in a crossbar challenge video.
He would definitely be a shout for the most injury prone Charlton team.

Really wanted to put Darren Ambrose in because he made me mad watching him, but he wasn't absolutely shite like this lot were. Honourable mention for John Solako as well.

Was thinking about an XI that divided opinion as in not your worst player, not your best but somewhere in the middle - players such as Danny Murphy (probably not the best example)
I suspect a midfield pairing of Kish and Holland would probably be the best example.

That's it Stig - Kish was certainly the type of player i was looking for. He certainly divided opinion.
Completely forgot about Nathan Eccleston, many fans had so much hope for him, he plays in Hungary for that well known side: Békéscsaba 1912 Előre, he should be careful as he might come under the eye of the Duchbags

He definitely thought very highly of himself.
Wasn't he part of the "special arrangement" between us and Liverpool from the Jonjo Shelvey transfer? That turned out well...

Out wide you'd have plenty to choose from. Scott Wagstaff plus one from Lloyd Sam, Jerome Thomas, Darren Ambrose, Danny Green (did anyone rate him? I couldn't stand him).

Sorondo, Llera, Bagheri, Gary Rowett, Jonathan Spencer, Ian Dowie.....money well spent
Palace in the cup so he has some immunity.
Immunity request refused

Webhad a centre half on loan from Spurs in the mid 90's - Kevin Scott. He was pony as well.
