All banter aside, if anyone still thinks Kirk is anything other than a total embarrassment then they are watching the wrong sport. 

Lewis Coaches

This is very poor of Cray were a little bit better Charlton would be in trouble. 

Passing is terrible, Tedic is a joke.

IdleHans

I can't decide if Id prefer Apples to take Kirk off before half time and humiliate him or leave him on and let him humiliate himself

Clem_Snide

Bought a ticket, genuinely considering leaving at half time. This is awful. Appleton is just Infront of me and is not a happy bunny.

Happy Valley

Perhaps Kirk would show more enterprise if he were made captain

SouthWest_Addicks

Can’t be many more than 5 or 6 completed passes for each side before the ball is given away. Really poor stuff so far. Campbell is having it easy against their left back.

Darenth

Impressed by McG so far

Darenth

Not an awful lot of positives past that (and the goal)

Kirk is top 5 worst Charlton players ever 

He could easily climb to no 1 if he stays and plays

Doesn't do us any favours playing Kirk he's nowhere near first team and is just a hindrance. Get the bloke off. Don't wanna see him again.

Baffling how Kirk has been keeping Chem out of the recent matchday squads. 

golfaddick

Unlucky.

Dont think he could really direct the header. 

MarcusH26

Kirk just needs a fresh start somewhere else. 

Hovi's Biscuit

Kirk has mastered the art of looking like he’s about to do something 

Callumcafc

Good chance for 2-0, Chem header from a corner goes wide

eastterrace6168

Should have been 2-0 there, free header from Chem wide of the post..

JaShea99

1-0 Luton.

At least Kirk has united the Charlton fanbase.

Yep I really don't get it either. Chem looks alright when he plays. 

Unbelievable how highly rated he came to us

Exiled_Addick

Kirk is playing wide left, against an amateur right back, not expected to do any defensive work, and has the much talked about “overlapping left back” behind him and still looks total dog shite. 

Sillybilly

Let’s hope our first 11 stay fit as our reserves are guff.

Meme face has reappeared - half time team talk could be fun.

Maybe he should have given the competition and fans a bit more respect and picked a decent side then.

Have been impressed with Cray Valley. Look pretty organised and haven't just sat behind the ball.

Definitely can see them grabbing one.

Hopefully at Millwall or Palace.

My guess is that Campbell will probably go back in Jan, so trying to get Kirk in the shop window by playing matches to be able to shift him in January. 

golfaddick

Can't really blame Tedic there. He seemed to be falling as he hit it. 

aliwibble

Ooh Kirk almost did something useful there.

eastterrace6168

Abankwah having a good game appearing everywhere...

golfaddick

Great ball from Fraser to Kirk.
