Much as the prospect of George at right back depresses me I think we are getting close to the scenario where we have Louis Mendez at Centre half and Tracey Leaburn holding it all together (as usual) in midfield.

Has Lapslie ever played more than two matches in a row for Charlton? Not his biggest fan but hard to criticise when I don’t think he has a extensive run in the team. Played well against Pompey and Sunderland in league 1 so surely should be a good player for that division.

Played four games on the trot: Luton | Sheff Wed | Huddersfield | Middlesbrough although only started one of them
Should definitely be an asset in League One next season but until he gets given a proper run in the team he's almost another Grant
He’ll be a good solid part to a middle table league one side with the potential to Create history and reach our lowest league position since we first got promoted out of the third tier in 1929
15th spot will claim that
we first entered league football 1921-22 season finishing 16th in division 3S we then have a 15th and 21st as our third worst and worst ever third tier finishes in 1924/5 and 1925/6
so if we’re lucky enough to have a team to support we may be able to witness one of the shittest Football league teams in our history , heady times in SE7

But we were a great Non-League side winning everything insight.
It all went downhill after we turned professional in 1920.
Stayed at Pound Park, we should have stayed at Pound Park, staaayed at Pound Park.

Good location for a club bought by ESI for a pound...

Sorry, but I don't rate him. Runs about like a headless chicken or like someone who has won a place in the team for the day. Whenever he comes on as a sub the team starts to go backwards (away at Millwall being one such occaison) & in the run of 4 games above our results were WLLL. In the Huddersfield game he was solely responsible for the first goal by giving a suicidal backpass to Oshilaja.
I realise that in the coming season our options may be limited but imo Lapslie should be as far away from the team as possible.

If you went back and found threads on Karlan Grant from his early days then I imagine people were saying the same things
Lapslie has struggled with injury these last few years, constant concussions not helping from put his head where it hurts too often
Championship was maybe a bit too soon for him this year, would hope he'll do better in League One provided he's given enough of a chance which'll be most likely the case this season

He’ll be one of our best players next year , that’s where we’ll be as a club if we’re lucky enough to survive , there’s something for you to look forward to
he's a 'workhorse' and will certainly need a bit of creativity around him if he's playing with Pratley.
A workhorse with an eye for a pass yet he needs to show a lot more consistency over
His passing / movement for his Luton goal reminded me of his first game when he split the Blackpool defence with a pass (didnt come to anything) yet then looked a fish out of water
I'm not saying he's Phil Foden or even Albie Morgan but think his defensive side (like what we saw against Portsmouth) over shadows the other side of his game that he can produce
Lapslie is a Steve Gritt type. Can play a few positions, won't let you down in terms of effort and will have odd very good moments, mixed in with quite a lot of ordinary stuff.

I hate these negative posts, do we really need a right back and more than two centre backs? Just think of the money we are saving on not offering contracts to established pros’s. The transfer embargo is a blessing in disguise, those horrible agents won’t make a penny out of us. Look at these positives instead of league position when the season hasn’t started yet
note: This is not a serious post and I am in agreement with the original post
Lapslie is nowhere near the biggest problem we have football wise. He certainly isn't a player who is a liability to the team when he plays. In the company of his peers as a younger player he was absolutely certainly not out of place. He is 22 closing in on 23, and I believe he is still improving, and has room to improve. I would not see him as a right back, but I am sure he would be prepared to give of his best in that position.

Agree entirely. If folk are seriously rating him and even tipping him for future club captain - may the Lord help us.

May well need George to play in the Midfield

Always looks lightweight to me but as above if he gets a run we may see something in him.
Lapslie will be CAFC captain. Him and Ablie in centre midfield will compliment each other well.

Albie replies 'your hair is nice George'.

Keep'em coming!
If he's the answer to our problems, I am the Pope (no not Nick).
Then you have all those that don't make it. Or need to move on to realise their potential/have the penny drop.
George is a decent player that will give everything for the club. Will be a decent L1 squad player with potential to improve.
Good luck to him next season and congrats to him and his family on the new arrival.
