I think we have to trust Bowyer and Marshall to make the right decision. None of us know for sure how Phillips will perform if given the jersey but Bowyer and Marshall will have a better idea than any of us.
If you believe rumours, young lad from Newcastle joining on loan
Freddy Woodman won the best goalkeeper award as @England under-21s won the Toulon Tournament this summer.
I believe he started at Palace
Freddy Woodman is Gareth Southgate's Godson and son of Andy Woodman who was CAFC Goal keeping coach when Darren Randolph and that well known charlton fan, Rob Elliott were our keepers.
As a youngster Freddy, was playing for Palace and when Andy got the Newcastle job the whole family relocated to the north east and Freddie Woodman has been at Newcastle ever since. Was on loan at killmarnock and Aberdeen last season.
At 21 and having been England's keeper from U16-U21 with 56 apps wouldn't be coming to be a number 2 in League 1.
If you believe the rumours, our squad could be getting quite a boost of Geordies - assuming the new director passes the FA test ASAP.
Matt was a legend,very sad to see the recent documentary with Alan Shearer,where Matt is suffering from dementia.Hope he can recall the affection everyone who saw him play has for him.
Some good performances with Phillips the hero and villain. Surprised Andy Marshall didn't have a heart attack with the kicking. He spent the whole of the warm up working with him. Have to wonder who has told Pearce to go to the corner flag to collect from goal kicks. Asking to be caught out.
I seem to recall Amos getting a fair amount of stick about his distribution last season. Must be par for the course being the Charlton keeper no matter how good you are between the sticks.
So if you're not a ball playing, Pirlo defence splitting passer of a ball DO NOT accept the job if Bowyer comes calling set your sights on non league as we are hard to please.
Hugo Lloris is the sort of keeper Dillon needs to emulate by dribbling round forwards !
Very well imo. Re. The keeper, 3 very good saves and some awful distribution BUT he's the best we got so i'm sure he'd appreciate 100% support. A good game and pleasant afternoon.
Highlight of the afternoon were the young ladies giving the finger to the Norwich fans. My only request is can you use both hands V Shrewsbury.
All the saves Phillips made you would expect a good keeper to make, none were world class but he did his job. Every kick went out for a throw or to a Norwich player. He rolled the ball out twice to Pearce and Page who were both closely marked because he didn’t have the confidence to kick it. His kicking and his confidence levels with the ball at his feet suggests we need to look at alternatives
Did you say, "All the saves Phillips made you would expect a good keeper to make" ..... ?
By your reckoning then, by making those saves Phillips is a good keeper.
Even with his Deano style kicking. And he was a good keeper too.
On the club site, pre-match puff said Taylor has a calf strain, yet the match report says he has a groin injury. No wonder Bowyer said he didn't know if Taylor would be fit for Sunderland.
Bowyer, on Dillon Phillips who made three crucial late saves to keep a clean sheet…
"He’s young and he hasn’t got much experience Dill. He made great saves. I think he brought pressure on himself really but he will have learnt from that, so the most important thing for me was the saves not how good he was with his feet. He’s there to make saves not to be a centre half or a midfielder. That’s not his job. His job is to keep the ball out of the net and he did that today."
Phillips will only get better the more he plays. He has potential and ffs we're in L1 not the Premiership - makes me laugh how much criticism some of our fans are dishing out. If Phillips was the finished article he wouldn't be at Charlton.
Bowyer "Anybody that has watched them lads last season in the U23s and then seen what they’ve been doing under us, they’ll be able to tell that there is a big difference.”

The most important bit is the saves, the passing out bit will come with experience and confidence. Until then he should clear it a very long way away.

Not sure what to make of that. Fee agreed for Josh so I’m assuming he’s the one we are all expecting ?
Sounds like a decent performance

Shame i thought Ajose looked incredible today. Coventry have an absolute steal there......
And yes, I'm only guessing.

What does Bowyer know about goalkeeping, he was only a midfielder.
Interested in Favaddick's mark for Phillips.
A mark for each of Dillon's good saves.
