I bet Bowyer intended it be pretty competitive, to best replicate a League game for match fitness.
There's me thinking that it's in that game that Deji picked up his injury.
All the ' our intensive training causes injury' conspiracy theorists please stand down.

“Charlton’s are struggling to field a competitive first 11 for the home match with Wigan this coming Saturday after reporting injuries to Omar Bogle, Chuks Aneke, Marcus Maddison, Akin Famewo and Ben Watson all of whom went at it a bit too much during a recent specially organised training match”.Oggy Red said:

I think stand up not stand down, if the injury came from a training game.Oggy Red said:

It would substantiate what Bowyer said that they tackle as hard in training as they do in a proper game.
IF you're picking up many injuries because of this it seems unhelpful to me.0 -
Did the players just concentrate on passing the ball around the back 4 before hoofing and losing itOggy Red said:

He's certainly worse at left back than Purrington.wmcf123 said:
Deji isn’t great at centre half but worse than Purrington he isn’tStigThundercock said:
Not the worst stroke of luck really tho is it?Croydon said:We're just unlucky though, right?
Erratic player of limited usefulness now unavailable. Charlie Barker to his more familiar central role, alongside Pratley and Gunter, will be a much more reassuring defensive line than anything with DO starting.
The fact that Purrington's spell in the middle of the backline was far less troubling than anytime DO has played there tells me all I need to know.

Hi @Covered_End because of our fixture being postponed, it no doubt was thought beneficial to keep the matchday routine and fitness levels high.Covered End said:

Last Saturday's match didn't sound to me like it was just training ...... I got the impression it was meant to replicate a League game in intensity,
to ensure players got some match fitness under their belts.
Naturally, under those conditions, Bowyer would expect players to be playing at 100%.
I suppose there's no more risk of injury than playing in an actual League match.
It's just unfortunate that Deji took a knock.

For those who might have missed it, here's Deji being interviewed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvBBNHTNKnQ&ab_channel=DarnellSimpson-YouthDeveloper
Local boy, grew up in Greenwich.
Also told us, Charlton had tried to sign him a couple of years ago.
At Wimbledon was already good mates with Lyle Taylor, who after signing for Charlton, played a big part in Deji signing for us.
Taylor told him, "It's a top club, great set up - you'd love it here".

Dread to think what Lyle will advise him when his contract is running down!!Oggy Red said:For those who might have missed it, here's Deji being interviewed:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvBBNHTNKnQ&ab_channel=DarnellSimpson-YouthDeveloper

Posted a clip of himself on Instagram running/jogging on an “anti-gravity” treadmill.0

Might get slated for this but I like him as a player and would like to see him play defensive mid1

Yeah he's not good enough on the ball for midfield (or centre back really). For me he's a right back who could fill in at centre back if needs must.3

Just heard the big mans interview after the game on Saturday.
Wow. What is the world record for most words spoken in a minute?
This fella must be right up there! .
Love him0 -
I believe the legendary horse racing commentator Peter O'Sullivan holds the record.

Oops, Used bold type by mistake.0

Did he play a single minute under Adkins? Must be one of the few players in the squad who didn't. Really terrible season for him when we would have been hoping to do well in a familiar league.

I don’t think he played after Bowyer mentioned that someone wasn’t going to play again due to making too many mistakes.Garrymanilow said:Did he play a single minute under Adkins?

Last appearance was Blackpool in February. Would have him at 1/200 to be released on Friday.3 -
Liked Deji, shame it never worked out & wish him the best of luck.9

At least he won't be blamed for the shit defending in the 95th minute against crewe that put the knife in our season.2
-
I don't think Deji is that bad, thought he would have a place in the squad at least7
-
This is his level and he belongs somewhere in the middle of it. I'm sure he'll be fine.1
-
He was a bit unfortunate that we had 2 LBs and 2 RBs in the squad, and few injuries in those positions, or else he might have featured more there. His rampaging style does seem more suited to full back than centre back?4
-
nowhere near as bad as some have made out.30
-
Agree entirely. Sometimes flew in on blocks and challenges which did cost us ONE goal and Bowyer never forgave him.Elthamaddick said:nowhere near as bad as some have made out.
Personally thought he was as solid as anyone else (Inniss aside) from those we played at the back.5 -
very capable squad cover across the back 46
-
I liked him better as a right back than centre back but there was no way that he would displace Matthews or Gunter.

The problem with Deji is that he swings from one extreme to the other far too regularly for a defender. He's got the physical attributes and can sometimes be brilliant at centre back but then he'll suddenly flip, his brain will switch off and he'll give the ball away for no reason or get his positioning completely wrong and pass up a chance to the opposition. You really can't have that happening so regularly at centre back so he's far more suited to playing as a right back. He's not really a specialist there either though so he'll always be a back up in that position. He seems to have issues communicating with his defensive partners as well and definitely can't lead a backline. His level is the lower end of L1 and that's probably where he'll get a contract

Same as we've seen from Pearce, Famewo, Pratley, Gunter and less often Inniss.Garrymanilow said:The problem with Deji is that he swings from one extreme to the other far too regularly for a defender.
