Not surprised to see people say they're not fussed. Not surprised to hear Palace say they're worried about his development, they should be because he's clearly gone backwards.
But he's our second top scorer and I believe second top in assists. Yes, he makes poor decisions sometimes, but he also makes goals. We are not a team with a load of goals at the moment.
I was hoping a new manager would get more out of him, but then when Holden was appointed and he clearly wants to play more direct and with two up front, it felt like the writing was on the wall.
JRS was signed to play in an attacking, possession-based, pressing side. We are none of those things now. And it's clear the coaching he's had here hasn't worked.
At some point we should probably ask "is it us?" Just as I don't blame Chelsea for not wanting Gallagher to play with Ben Dempsey and Josh Davison every week, I don't blame Palace for not wanting their young star to play with Sam Lavelle and Richard Chin.
Rumours on social media that he's being recalled and sent on loan to Barnsley
Can’t see why they’d want to recall him and send him to Barnsley. After all, it’s a learning experience being at Charlton, character building. There’s not many clubs you go to where you lose most weeks.
The game overall summed him up for me over recent times. Great goal and some decent contributions, but most of his contributions were poor control and bad decision making. But he's a youngster learning his trade and here to make those mistakes. Not fussed if he stays or goes. He will be a loss but not a catastrophic one.

Depends on the quality of his replacement. Assuming, perhaps naively, he is being replaced.
Have some of the people on this thread actually watched many wingers, particularly young wingers, play? Most have traits of inconsistency, popping in and out of games and look like they are short of some composure, even at the top level. He is our second top scorer and one of our leading providers.
We will not replace Rak-Sakyi with anyone better. That is the most important observation of all.

Expect Campbell will be forced into that role should he go.

Agree with this, although I don’t want to underplay his goals contribution which is very respectable for even a much more experienced winger.
I don’t think him leaving could collapse our already fragile season like happened with Gallagher and I do think he ought to be replaceable with a good loan signing from another Premier League academy. However, it is a big “if” to say we will be able to attract such a replacement here.
Th kid has a lot to learn and, overall, I think more weaknesses than strengths at the moment. That of course is to be expected of a young winger and why he’s in League One on loan and not playing higher up already.
All that being said, I think he’s been a good signing for us and I’d rather keep him than lose him. We have enough business to do without replacing one of the few players who has been generally up to snuff.

I kind of agree and as I said he will be a loss to the squad. But the thing about the team nature of football means a replacement doesn't necessarily have to be a better individual player just better for the team overall. More so in this crappy league where just doing the basics right consistently can make a big difference. If we get a replacement who might not be able to score an individual goal like RS did today, But whose control, finishing and decision making is more consistent, then that can be a net gain for the team. We also have to see what Holden's plans for the team are and what players he wants.
Anyone who thinks we would be better off without him are clearly clueless about football...
He is a young lad, he is going to have off games. Given he has missed some good chances, and that's why he is on loan.. If he wasn't missing those chances, he would be in Palace first team. He will go on to have a good premier league career!
If he is going to go to Barnsley, it just proves how far we have fallen!
I could understand Palace recalling him if they wanted him to step up a level and see how he goes at a bottom half championship side, but i really don't see the point in sending him to a side a few points better off in the same division when he's probably quite settled here.

Depends if JRS wants out with all the stuff that's happening at the club. And also if Charlton have to pay another fee in Jan for him.

Sensible move by Palace.
Don't it always seem to go...
this boys a player !!!
Stockley couldn't score in a month of Sundays.....
I hope I am wrong but that goal could be the last we see from him for five games if he stays and we cannot afford to carry players in our position.
Yes he is one of the best we have but it’s a pretty low bar looking at the crap in our squad.
Our fans have a unique relationship with wingers. If they're not tryhards like Johnny Robinson or Johnnie Jackson, they're never very popular.
1. Everyone from Eton is a tosser.
2. We wouldnt miss JRS

Jes got wind of that and thought “Barnsley? No thanks mate” and stuck one in the bottom corner to help us on our way to victory today.
Good lad. He’s alright for a stripey.
