Think Dobson was an ok player who looked better because he was in a shit team
Doesn't it normally work that ok players look better in a good side ?
Danny Green or Waggy at CAFC and in the Premier, Phil Neville springs to mind at United.
Simon Francis!
Simon Francis had the potential to be a good attacking full back even when he was at CAFC ( I said it back then and had people laugh in my face) but it took the coaching skills of Eddie Howe to bring it out after he totally lost confidence. Howe even turned Francis into a CB later which I was surprised about !
You can bomb out at CAFC but still make it somewhere else with the right set up and restored belief.

Struggling to keep up with ongoing transfer developments, but hoped to catch up by going to the Wimbledon match.
I didn’t expect us to be outplayed (by and large) by a League 2 side, and left feeling ver deflated.
Are we set for another year of disappointment, or do we feel that the new players need time to settle in? It felt like we lacked quality, and there’s only ten days left to sort things out.
I think we have quality in Berry, Docherty and Godden but it’s just they aren’t quite up to speed yet. Once they’ve had the full pre-season we will hopefully start to see it once the proper games start
In regards to the Dobbo and Coventry argument. One was wanted by Championship sides in January but we won his signature. The other was only wanted by Wrexham and a random Hungarian side in January and the summer.

The most consistent player we have had for years and obviously the voters agreed.
We now move on as George has done and we need all our midfielders to step up to the plate for CAFC. What these players do for CAFC is what's counts now. Not what potential or how they played for other clubs.
Wigan is the first of 46 matches so we need to be on it from game one not friendlies when the last ref didn't even have his yellow cards with him.

We've had plenty of very consistent players over the last few years. Most of them haven't been any good though.
Dobson was an average league one player made out by a number of fans as a premiership player sorry he was miles away from even championship player .. how many reckless tackles on the edge of our box did he make , how many passes went a stray .again in dangerous positions .. yes he had his positives but fact that no one was rushing to sign him says how “ football “ saw him …. Coventry completely diff player far more skilful and better passer of the ball , he don’t rush in or makes last ditch tackles because he reads a game better and so intercepts long before he needs to tackle or lunge in …..
Agree. I put Dobson in the same bracket as Kishishev....nowhere near as good a footballer as Charlton fans believe, but adored because they ran around like lunatics chasing after their own lack of abilities, but interpreted as caring and hardworking

Consistent maybe, but the facts are there in front of us...downward trajectory. Next 2 seasons would be also ran and then non Runner after that.

What?! Kishishev was a great footballer.
Radostin Kishishev would walk into the current team and improve it beyond belief. And he's 50.
Pompey have made Anthony Scully available for transfer - would be a gamble with his injury record as he only featured 9 times for Pompey last season , but a player I know was heavily mentioned when he was at Lincoln.
Made less appearances than Aneke over the last 2 seasons combined and if he leaves will be on his third club in 3 years. His time at Lincoln was the exception in an otherwise nothing career, no thanks

He wasn't. He was a headless chicken, a hard worker and a nice bloke. Doesn't make him a great footballer.
He was very effective in the defensive midfield, man to man marking, harass and force mistake role...but that was down to his own chaos.

Yeah I wasn't really mentioning him as a target more someone that's come up in the past and being available again , doesn't fit the NJ shape or style really

Probably. But we're talking about someone that blagged it in the prem vs where we are now with some players blagging it in league one.
Different levels of abilities certainly, but blagging none the less. The energy and passion hides imperfections of ability in typical fan favourites

Also, for the record...I will always love Kishishev (despite his limitations as a premiership footballer) as my knowing of his existence got me laid by a fit Bulgarian tourist I got chatting to in Gable by bank station

It's clear then your brains are in your cock. Ask Curbs how valuable Kish was to his side

You obviously didn't see Kishishev play for Brighton at the Valley.

Are you for real? I think you've been watching so much shit at Charlton since we got relegated from the premier league,that you've forgotten what a good footballer is. Even a few years after he left us and he was playing for Brighton in the championship.he pissed all over our Midfield in a 4-0 win. 20 times the player Dobson is.

Simon Francis had the potential to be a good attacking full back even when he was at CAFC ( I said it back then and had people laugh in my face) but it took the coaching skills of Eddie Howe to bring it out after he totally lost confidence.
Howe even turned Francis into a CB later which I was surprised about !
