With the new season kicking off next week there is one debate that has yet to be settled… With Reza Ghoochanniejad (Albeit he did deserve the title) and Nick Pope (Clearly didn’t deserve the award) now gone and with the likes of Callum Harriott and Morgan Fox still at the club who will win: Scapegoat of the Season 2016/17
Let’s look at the nominations:
Dillon Phillips … Young Goalkeeper who will clearly make mistakes if he is to be called upon this season, the fact he’s an Academy Graduate will safe him in some eyes yet if his clangers lead to defeat expect to see him as a marked man… Chances: 3/5
Callum Harriott / Morgan Fox … As already mentioned, both graduates are still at the club and at the moment will play a big part in the season ahead, Harriott has the added pressure of performing for Colchester at this level whilst Morgan Fox will be on last chance saloon for some … Chances: 4/5
Chris Solly / Johnnie Jackson … The two reliable men at Charlton at the moment; Chris Solly is usually exempt from criticism yet fans will question whether he can last the season whilst with age catching up with him; Johnnie Jackson isn’t getting any quicker so will no doubt be picked up for that at times … Chances: 1/5
Nick Ajose / Ricky Holmes / Lee Novak … As the three major signings these three will be the ones expected to get us promoted, Ajose and Novak will surely come under flack if they don’t score every five minutes whilst expect moaning that Holmes isn’t consistent (the next Danny Green maybe?) … Chances: 3/5
Roger Johnson … Otherwise known as relegation Roger and having made a terrible impression in the second half of last season, he’ll no doubt bear the brunt of any fan anger in the season ahead … Chances 5/5
Other … People like Konsa and Lookman will no doubt be exempt from the fans frustrations this season yet foreign players who seem to have no interest in Charlton remain with the club (notably El-Hadji Ba and Cristian Ceballos) unless there is a miracle they too could take home the award.
My Prediction: The Fans

He is an embarrassment to all other professionals.
The Fans The negative attitude created by fans wanting better for the club they have supported as long as they can remember will cause the paper thin squad assembled by KM & Co. to fail spectacularly.
Surely it'll all be our fault? At least according to some.
Also Seb Lewis who goes to very game, its his fault has well......!
