Has he even had a shot inside the box in those 4 matches? He had one long ranger last night but I can't remember when we last had him in a dangerous position. It's madness
He’s been in a lot more dangerous positions than you think.
1 shot inside the box against Bristol Rovers
3 shots inside the box against Orient
1 shot inside the box against Burton
5 shots inside the box against Barnsley
10 shots from inside the penalty area in total: 6 have been blocked, he’s missed the target three times and forced the keeper into a save once.
Fair enough. Thanks Callum, can always rely on you to bring the stats!

He’s scored 2 goals from open play from the right though, and only 2 playing as a striker on his own.
If you look at his xG each game this season, it’s nearly always way higher in games that he plays in the 10/second striker.
Part of that is due to us being a better team when we had that set up with Aneke/Leaburn ahead of him. But he is either getting fewer chances, or fewer good chances when playing as a RW or as a striker on his own. Why on earth did Appleton stop playing him as the 10 when it was working well?
It is unexplainable, we were doing well with Watson in midfield (Appleton hasn’t won a game without him there!) and May in the 10, why change it? And then when you do change it and it doesn’t work, why not return to it?

Thank you Stats are stats 1 shot on target from 10 is not a glowing stat for May playing wide Even more bizarre Apples not winning a game without Louie Watson yet dropping him
“May plays wide and I can’t remember when he last had a shot!”
*shows stat where he had 10 shots in last four games*
“Not like that!”
You all don’t like him playing on the right wing. We get it.
(PS I’m not even arguing for it, I’m just tired of the repetitiveness of it all.)
He's a goalscorer- he'll always try and shoot but him having ONLY ONE shot on target of those TEN shows it's not working!
How many shots on target has he had for the games prior Calllum?
And tired of the repetitiveness because it isn't what you want it to be? It's funny how when things don't go their way that people become "tired"
Tired of crap results Tired of shit transfer windows Tired of managers fixated with a specific formation despite a lack of players to play it Tired of playing our best goslscorer in completely the wrong position

How does that compare to the four league games before when he presumably was scoring?

Just imagine how many he would have scored if he wasn’t played out on the wing .
1 goal in 9 games for Alfie , poor fucker has been given the Charlton kiss of death by this thread
It's not just him though. Some have been so Charltonised that they've left the Club in a state of trauma - the whole of the rest of the current squad have managed just 2 goals between them in the last 14 games!!!
If he and the rest of the team pick up where they left off on Saturday then he will get a hat trick tonight. No disrespect to Wigan, I don’t think it makes a difference who the opposition is if the striker is in that confidence zone where they are going to have a pop whenever they can and from whichever angle and distance.
5 in 4 games is a tall order at any time especially now the team realistically has nothing to play for AM will be busting a gut to score of course but he always gives his best for the team first, self second Much as we'd like him to rack up loads this month, the more he gets the harder he'll be to retain over the summer 30 years old and scoring goals for fun he'll attract much attention from wealthier clubs than ours I'm not advocating he should be sold but money always talks - to club and player alike - and Charlton have to be mindful of PSR else we're looking down the barrel of point deductions next season A quiet few games with few if any goals might serve CAFC better

I disagree. He is 30 and never played above this level before. I think clubs will be put off by his age and they would rather take a punt on a youngster with a really value.
Why are we looking down the barrel of a points deduction?

Without knowing the cash outgoings- just look at the profusion of signings in the Jan window- most have hardly seen the light of day. Its a mini Nottingham Forest scenario.

I'm knackered of it all if I'm being honest!
4 shots inside the box against Cheltenham (including two penalties)
2 shots inside the box against Carlisle
4 shots inside the box against Portsmouth
10 non-penalty shots in total: 2 non-penalty goals. Of the other eight shots: 3 were saved, 2 missed the target and 3 were blocked by defenders.
23 league, 2 in the FA Cup and 2 in EFL Trophy.
He's back on form so 3 in the last 4 should be do-able.
AM will be busting a gut to score of course but he always gives his best for the team first, self second
Much as we'd like him to rack up loads this month, the more he gets the harder he'll be to retain over the summer
30 years old and scoring goals for fun he'll attract much attention from wealthier clubs than ours
