Sad truth is that we only have 4 outfield players who are definitely good enough for a promotion side. Hector, Fraser, Dobson and May. Leaburn may be, and so might Camara and Egbo. But we are currently well short of a promotion level first 11.
DJ is giving them problems without really giving them any problems.
He'd be such a good player if he had any pace. Always said this
He's got a change of pace, but not quite enough of one. He's not a burner, and that's not really his game. I just feel like he's kind of "not quite" in so many regards. Again, if we had an overlapping LB he might be better as it would allow him to cut in, find spaces, and use his cleverness with the ball. But we're just not set up for him, and to be fair to him, we never really have been when he's been with us.
Remember all about gaining match fitness, sharpness and really start to put into practice what's been worked on tactically outside of a training pitch.
It won't all be tidy football in the run up to the start of the season, but improvements will be made and new signings will come.
Alfie May is quality, i agree with those that said he could play as a 10 - great on the ball and terrific vision. Mitchell the best of the defenders, CBT very bright going forward as always. Anderson a revelation in the middle.
This might be our last time hearing "Addicks to Victory" after a match. And I'm going to miss it. It might not be a banger, but it gets stuck in your head.

Jackson forcing him to be a barely-glorified fullback may have broken him a bit as an attacking force

p.s Kirk was pointless.
Of course Kirk was pointless, he was playing wide. He only works as a number 10 for us

We looked better in the final third but don't think it's unfair to say our defence (both sides) didn't give us the confidence from the back.
Man of his word. The connection with the fans NEEDS to be better now.
I'd still like to see him converted into a central midfielder
pre season, I get that, but we look disjointed and in need of easily 5 more!

A sad, sad day for all
Kirk was a complete waste of space imo.
