In the only five minutes this season that Chuks played alongside Omar we scored.
I would be interested to see how this might work in a longer run out.
I think it could work out quite well, especially for Bogle. He doesn't appear suited to the lone striker role and Chuks does draw a lot of necessary attention from defenders, which can only help a strike partner. Sadly for Bogle, we are probably expecting too much from him in terms of softening up defences on his own. But in the meantime, it's great that he scored an important goal and hopefully this will give him a lift after last week's difficulties.
He took his goal well and his team mates seemed genuinely pleased for him which suggests he is a popular player. He works very hard and Bows is right, as a fan, all I ask is a player gives everything for the shirt, and Omer does. Personally, I think the whole team has worked extremely hard over an intense period and thought the game against the bottom club was a given. A lesson learnt and we have moved on.
I think he wanted to act all stroppy and cool and pissed-off but couldn't help a grin. Bowyer has a knack for finding these emotionally unrestrained types, doesn't he? I like it. It means we have players who really want it, which is I think the #1 criterion for a Bowyer signing. (And once Maddison gets some therapy or a girlfriend I think his inner wanting-it, that I'm sure Bowyer has detected, will be revealed too!)
I think it wasn't so much he wasn't pleased that he was literally overwhelmed in the moment. We know that an unfortunate subset of "fans" have been on his back and he is after all a striker, he'll want to score.
He's come close a few times and now he's finally broken the curse hopefully a few more will follow.

Inner wanting-it? What kind of talk is this, @Leuth?
Maybe echoes of your man-love for Watson, I think.
Oh I'll always root for Maddison. He falls into the Flawed Genius category, which has historically been my biggest weakness for any player.
Gilbey is an interesting one. He shows some potential. Like JFC before him, he may have me flipflopping between 'incisive, energetic player' and 'ineffectual headless chicken'. Let's hope more of the former.

Of course, that's the answer for Mr Maddison ...... we've got to find him a girlfriend.
I wonder if there's a female Addick or even a Lifer who'd be willing to step in and take one for the team?
If you can get Marcus happy and scoring goals, it could guarantee us promotion. You'd be a hero.
I suspect in Bogle's eyes there wasn't too much to wildly celebrate. He's clearly been beating himself up that he hasn't scored yet to have finally done so may just be the minimum he expects of himself. His reaction looked more one of relief than jubilation.
His post match comments suggest he's felling happier for it and I really do believe we'll see a big step forward from him now. I think the work rate will go up a notch and he'll get more goals. I doubt he'll ever be more than a 1 in 4/1 in 3 kind of striker, but that could well be all we need if everyone else keeps scoring too. I'm actually happier to see how many of our midfielders are finally getting into goal scoring positions on a more regular basis - on another day Williams and Gilbey would've both been on the score sheet as well as Albie..
Bogle liked a tweet from a Hull player, someone picked up on that, Bogle says they're friends away from football. On his performance he said "I was shit yesterday".

Surely people have better things to do with their life than trawl through social media to see what people have 'liked' etc and then digging them out for it?
Yeah he probably shouldn't have a liked an opposition tweet but I think people read way too much into these things.

The very fact he responds to fans on social media tells me he's profoundly insecure. Do we have a sports psychologist on call? He's obviously a decent player whose head is gone right now
When a cricketer or golfer gets the yips, they are treated sympathetically. Bogle has been thrown to the hounds. Should be nowhere near the field given his state obviously but he's clearly not getting the urgent help he needs

What makes you think that "he's obviously a decent player"?
The guy has no idea.
He scored some goals at Grimsby in League 2 and Solihull Moors in non-League.
When people go on about Gallen and his eye for a player, I will refer them back to Bogle.

What a potential front two "Bogle and The Beast"

Now ... when you think that they are all good enough, that's the time to raise the bar.
For my part, Shinnie has cooled a bit after his bright start, and Gilbey is a 'work in progress'.
But Maddison ... let's get on his case. He will always divide opinion.
Perfect.

I'm joking, of course
I don't agree with posting negative comments on players' social media accounts, but I imagine it's something which all players have to deal with

Useless. And I'm being kind.
I hope he’s given respect if he is moved on this month.
