I was gonna go for Jason Lee but surely the best example is Lawrie WilsonManicmania said:Maybe I just have poor/selective memory but I'm having a hard time remembering if a player coming back for a second spell with us has ever really been successful or anywhere near as good as the first spell?

Firmani - returned twice. Killer. Flanagan.

I agree actually. The only thing I would like is some goals from the midfield. Will help to get another striker but there is huge pressure on grant and Taylor to keep scoringScoham said:
Very early to judge but Williams looks a level above all three of them. A natural number 10 rather than a converted wide player like Holmes and Fosu.cafcfan1990 said:Would definitely prefer Holmes over Clarke or Fosu.

Reeves scored a couple of weeks before that v Barnsley.
Aribo scored a couple of weeks before that v Blackpool.
Williams will score on Saturday against Accrington. I dunno, some people are never satisfied!

We don't have a midfielder who will score 10 goals this season. That might just be the difference. If we had Holmes or last season's Fosu we would be fine. Getting a third striker should ease the burden though.Oggy Red said:

Mentioned this before, my work colleague is friends with a 1st team staff member, Holmes allegedly has a very big ego and gives it the large oneOggy Red said:
I don't believe he implied trouble maker, just Billy Big Bollox.Pelling1993 said:I swear I read somewhere that Bowyer thought Holmes was a trouble maker and didn't want him?
But you're right, having been given the opportunity to bring back Holmes, Bowyer passed on him.1 -
Yes, we do ..... Joe Aribo.cafcfan1990 said:

He has 5 already, all scored in the 1st half of the season - and despite being currently injured, once he returns, he'll surely pick up another handful of goals.

Also, last season all but the final run in was played to Robinson's celebrated 4-2-3-1, with just poor old Josh Magennis ploughing a lonely furrow up top.
As you'll remember, the idea was the 3 attacking midfielders were to be set up to score plenty in that system.
This season with Bowyer's diamond, while the midfield are expected to contribute their share, the emphasis is more on creating chances for the front 2.

Aribo is on 5 and was on a bit of a run before he get injured. If he comes back soon ish I don't see why he can't target 8+ for the season. Jonny will get a few, Fosu a couple and Cullen a couple. Reeves should too. On top of the Defence chipping in at set pieces - big Nabs is due a goal. We should be alright.cafcfan1990 said:

As long as Taylor and Grant stay fit that is.2 -
At the Millwall friendly today.

Mike Bailey had a pretty successful return0

Not as a player he didn't and Holmes is a long way off being managerial material.letthegoodtimesroll said:Mike Bailey had a pretty successful return0 -
Which makes me think that if we ever want promotion, first choice has to get an ex player in as manager...bowyer, powell, Curbs, Bailey...the only other managers to achieve promotion in all the years I’ve been a charlton fan are Andy Nelson and Lennie Lawrence - cant think of any others to get promotion since the sixties and before that it was probably jimmy seed...ex charlton players win itletthegoodtimesroll said:Mike Bailey had a pretty successful return2 -
Signing for Concord Rangers then.....😁Callumcafc said:At the Millwall friendly today.0 - Sponsored links:

What a shame, thought he was a great player for us when fit. Didn’t realise he’s only made five appearances in 2.5 years at Sheffield United though.SouthWest_Addicks said:2 -
Was certainly a very exciting player to watch, though I often felt like we played very one dimensionally when he was in the team.3
-
Was head and shoulders above anyone in the team during the time we had him. Good luck to him13
-
Ricky Holmes at that time in full flight was my favourite player! Was in the Gillingham end when they beat us and they were petrified of him!A shame how it’s turned out for him.2
-
He only really spent 6 months there didn't he? He spent the 18-19 season on loan and then has been injured ever since. He went on loan to Gillingham and didn't even play a single game.se9addick said:

Great player, never forget the game at Shrewsbury where he scored a great hat-trick and how devastated he looked at the final whistle...2

That's because everyone else was shit!FishCostaFortune said:Was certainly a very exciting player to watch, though I often felt like we played very one dimensionally when he was in the team.
He was a great player for us and scored some great goals.

Was the best player in a poor team for us same as Nicky Bailey was, shame he left when he did, as he was exciting to watch but at least for his sake he's had a better wage coming in especially if he does retire in the summer. Good luck to him he always gave 100%.5

Best opposition player I saw last season when he played for Oxford. Always able to find space to shoot even without having a lot of pace.
Without Ricky we would probably have been relegated to league two that Slade/Robinson season. Enjoy your retirement and thanks for those goals to keep our head above water.10
