Bergdich

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Could someone please explain what he brings to the team apart from running very quickly. Watched him closely today and he really seems to offer very little - definitely not a wide player and runs around like a headless chicken.
His shot was almost Churchian in its execution.

cafc999

Birdshit IMHO is absolutely awful

Desperate_Pete

JJust my opinion but I suspect that he is in the team to put him more in the shop window. Not at all suited to championship, gives the ball away cheaply and should not be playing right now.
Maybe playing as part of the tit for tat negotiations that Riga agreed with RD - who knows?

Athletico Charlton

Harriott should be playing. Played well for Riga before, played well when he came back... Then dropped for Bergdich, weird.

Brendan_O_Connell

He's absolute wank. Sorry, but he really isn't a championship player.

Danny Addick

Not a good game from him. At all. To be fair with the shot though, it was on his right foot. He should have put it across goal for Mak.

bazjonster

He was awful today!!! (Come to think of it - he always is!). Chicken of the headless variety; no sense of positioning and overall game/match awareness, can't pass a ball for toffee!

killerandflash

To be fair, he played reasonably against Blackburn and Rotherham

Karim_myBagheri

I don't know, didn't he have our only effort on goal? the only reason it reached the keeper was due to the wind.

killerandflash

It's not as if he was the weak link in the team either today, though he needs to be called out for that ludicrous booking, the sort of pointless yellow card that often comes back to bite you later on in a match when you need to make a desperate challenge

soapboxsam

On a day went no one played well.

Is it some cathartic exercise to slag a player off.

The fact is, he had two good games in a row. (before today)

Where would we be without our scapegoats.

Hex

He is a liability and like Ba, plays with imaginary teammates. I thought he was supposed to be a fullback come left-sided midfielder but you can tell Riga's opinion of his defending by the fact he is left upfield when defending corners.

Like the earlier poster I too wonder if it's the compromise Riga had to make to be allowed a player choice of his own.

To_Be_Franck

You lot make me laugh, he is no worse than Fox, Lennon, Jackson, Harriott . But he is a network signing so automatically wank.

thenewbie

He had a poor game today. But so did thirteen others in the same shirt. He's been much more effective in the two games prior.

You can't be "more effective in the two games" if you are entirely ineffective in all the other games. Perhaps marginally less ineffective would be more accurate ?

More about his pace on the counter attack combined with his lack of height I think.

Watch the highlights back (won't take you long) he played the ball to Reza for a chance, had a chance himself, which unfortunately was on his right foot and not his left, and played the ball to Solly for Lookmans header too.

Certainly contributed more to the game than JBG (apart from the push of course) and has been nowhere the worst player out there recently. In fact, he played 3 different positions today and when THD had to do similar in a game he was commended, fuck it even lauded by some because of it.


But hey lets all jump back on the "RD signing therefore we must bash him" bandwagon

Everyone is currently being bashed. Morgan Fox & JJ the top of the list, Bergdich amongst them.. The whole lot in all honesty.

Addickted

There were worse players in a red shirt today than Bergditch

Garrymanilow

Come off it, they're all shit. He hardly needs his own thread digging him out. We weren't complaining when he set up our first against Rotherham last week and in a team entirely lacking in football ability he at least has the decency to be fast

This is Charlton Life after a defeat. You're not allowed to be fair here.

Post something critical of Bergdich then move on to 'worst left back ever' thread

queensland_addick

Simple solution, move him to left back in place of Fox and bring Harriot back. We then strengthen two positions.

We did that halfway through the second half and we looked even worse, barely recall Harriott touching the ball

Lincsaddick

He was terrific at Rotherham and has been no worse than anyone else whenever I have seen him .. like a few of OUR players I suspect that he is totally pissed off with the bad atmosphere hanging over the Valley and the abuse some players receive from the first until the last minute .. this has two possible effects:
1) Players are under too much stress and are too tense and timid ... for other types of personality (Makienok perhaps) 2) Fuck you all, take the piss all you like and I just won't try my hardest for you ..

Isawsummersplay

Having worked with professional sportsmen for over a decade, I can assure you the better players focus on the game at hand and are able to completely block out whatever happens off the pitch. The weaker players, however, will always blame external issues for their poor performances.

I can imagine the players were probably expecting to run out to a Valley crowd that would be buzzing following their terrific performance at Rotherham. Instead they got near silence, how deflating for them! Then to hear their team mates getting slagged off as soon as they make one or two mistakes.

People say that Johann is resting himself and avoiding injury ahead of the Euros but he's one of those players who takes these approaches in my opinion.

Many are saying that he was lazy and did sweet FA yesterday and that we should instantly get rid of him but the bloke got three assists against Rotherham so its evident that he wants to be here

About three times he got just inside the box with the ball yesterday, it wouldnt come down to his feet quick enough and each time he was surrounded by three Bristol City players, the fans would bemoan that he didnt shoot after losing the ball but how can he shoot when bodies are so close to him like that, the ball instantly suddenly go through them!!

Because of this its evident that the opposition know he's one of our most dangerous players... Shame our fans dont think that either!!

dickplumb

I thought Jackson was worse than Bergdich, but one is a Club legend and one isn't. It makes people's judgement less objective.

He is a left back not a winger.
Totally agree with dickplumb aswell, Jackson offers fuck all in midfield , club legend yes but i am afraid we lose most games because our midfield is shit period.
Should be Bergdich at left back and Harriott left midfield/winger. Ba is a better option than Jackson did more in his cameo than jackson did in the whole game who it has to be said couldnt even get close to making tackles.

Which is why he kept giving away free kicks. Am surprised he didn't get booked earlier on in the game. Bergdich may have given the ball away a few times but at least he tried to keep it on the floor. Lost count of the amount of aimless punts we made that flew out of of play when the wind got hold of the ball or sailed into the keepers arms.

Covered End

Bergdich was ok yesterday and better than ok, in the previous 2 games.

He certainly had a better game than Jackson & Fox who were poor.
