Have missed Miles big time,good to see him back, will he feature on Tuesday, or will he be saved to play against Stevenage?0

Both. He needs game time, play him on Tuesday ready for StevenageMendonca In Asdas said:Have missed Miles big time,good to see him back, will he feature on Tuesday, or will he be saved to play against Stevenage?0 -
May be an illusion but did Miles not look like he was a little bit taller?0

Probably just because he was next to MayMuttleyCAFC said:May be an illusion but did Miles not look like he was a little bit taller?

No way is May 176cm tall. I'm 174 and I am almost certainly the same height as him or taller - using Leaburn as the measuring stick.1

I wouldn't go by anything online, for a players height or weight.0

Playing Miles at right-wing could arguably replace Rak-Sakyi's goals. Can see him scoring a lot from that position.
It still seems like we don't make much use of his aerial threat. That should change. If he played for Wycombe, Stevenage or the like, they'd be utilising it to the max.1 -
Seems weird but playing him on the wing might help with the aerial threat thing. Can see him attacking deep corners in by CBT/Edun to either score/knock down for May. His opposition fullback will be much weaker in the air than a CB would beChunes said:Playing Miles at right-wing could arguably replace Rak-Sakyi's goals.

Agreed, pretty sure it was his first goal for us last season where he got in at the back post and was much stronger and taller than the opposition fullback.fenaddick said:

Looked to be limping off. Hope his position doesn't vary game to game as he's too good for that. Quiet showing today. Needs to watch a video of Aneke in the 2nd half to see what you can do with such a height/physique.3
-
Looked lost today, and isolated, but Chuks immediately showed how a lone centre forward should be playing, dropping deep to show for the ball, battling every long ball and generally being a nuisance.9
-
Miles has shown that he is an excellent finisher but the rest of his game is lacking thus far. Will reserve judgement till he has played in the middle for a few more games but the hype so far is outweighing the evidence.0
-
He played plenty of time down the middle last season and thought he looked a top player I can only think the counter attacking style of Holden / ability of Rak-Sakyi suited him better than having to play back to goal in this current set-up.He really struggled against Stevenage up top on his own (Assumed it was just a lack of match fitness).Maybe this is just next part of his game he needs to learn to become a top striker.0

Think he'd much more have suited the position Tedic was in tbh, although I'm not sure Tedic is a man for the CF lynchpin role either. We've stumbled on a formation that really needs the greatest sicknote in Charlton history to work, lol1

Think people need to give him a bit of a break, not too keen on some of the comments on the match thread - people questioning his interest or desire - - he's 19 and only played 40 games in league 1 - he has all these huge expectations on him - he doesn't need any additional pressure from us - he is a kid he's gonna have off days and days when he looks the dogs bollocks - at this stage 40 games in he has been far more the latter than the former and that's a credit to him
(edited because i got my former and latter the wrong way around haha)10 -
Completely agree. Wish people could keep things constructive.0
-
honestly the one that wound me up a bit was saying Chuks put Miles to shame today in his performance - how you gonna compare a 30 year old with 300 games against a 19 year old with barely 40?2

A lot easier to make an impact against tired legs too. Didn’t see many complaints at Leaburn’s sub appearance on TuesdayManic_mania said:honestly the one that wound me up a bit was saying Chuks put Miles to shame today in his performance - how you gonna compare a 30 year old with 300 games against a 19 year old with barely 40?4 - Sponsored links:

Nothing came off for leaburn today. It doesn't make him a poor player.7
-
Our crossing to him was also pretty poor.Todds_right_hook said:Nothing came off for leaburn today. It doesn't make him a poor player.1 -
Exactly this^^. What is it, his second season of senior football? We shouldn't be starting him week in week out at this stage in his career and expecting him to carry the front lineTodds_right_hook said:Nothing came off for leaburn today. It doesn't make him a poor player.2 -

I think he’ll stay this season but be gone in the summer. If he remains fit he’ll score 20+ goals and attract bids in excess of £5 million. That’s enough money to buy a promotion out of league one. Getting it reinvested in the team though is quite a different matter.0

Seems reasonable.buckshee said:

Sounds like Mullin got chopped in a friendly too...

I'm not sure he has that much aerial threat. He's taller than his Dad but nowhere near as imposing in the air.Chunes said:Playing Miles at right-wing could arguably replace Rak-Sakyi's goals. Can see him scoring a lot from that position.

Carl had that knack of making the right runs in and around the six yard box for headers. Not seen that with Miles although I’m sure it will come.AddicksAddict said:

I think he's proved he's pretty good with his head. He's scored a few headers when we've made chances for him. Agree he's probably not learned the dark arts of backing in / making it awkward for the defender.AddicksAddict said:
