Not my list, but agree with it (As per my pervious comment about Dixon).Grapevine49 said:Not sure Dixon will appreciate being omitted.
We are a play-off chasing team now. If Dixon, from my previous discussions about his development, isn't suitable to be sent off on loan due to not being adapted to the culture, then I don't feel he should be pressured into playing for the first team at the moment (in case he messes up).
It would be great if he does play and works, however if he plays badly (given our current position) he might take exception to the hate that would happen. Possibly scarring him and destroy his confidence.
He is still eligible to play should the coaching staff (including the development department) deem it okay.0 -
If you want to add Dixon that is seven forwards.Grapevine49 said:Not sure Dixon will appreciate being omitted.
Only different here is Enslin and Laqeretabua (are a defender and midfielder according to the website) are not classified as first players. Kaheim Dixon is (as a forward).Henry Irving said:

When we signed Dixon it was for his potential, as a project as it were, and I for one didn’t expect him to be anywhere near the first team this season. Let’s leave whether he should be involved or not down to those who are involved with him on a day to day basis and are far better placed to judge than any of us are.19

The thing is, if any player was doing what he is doing for the U21s, people would be mentioning the first team. The same with Enslin.1

The more I see Dixon it becomes clearer he’s a poacher with pace, rather than a goalscoring wide player. That’s not a bad thing, just that he’s not a like for like replacement for TC, and definitely not Small in his wing back/wide attacker role.2

You have seen more of him than me but it looks to me like he could learn some of the wing play. The player you’re describing is a bit more in the Kanu style but it looks to me as if Dixon would me more comfortable running at a man with the ball at his feet. He isn’t an out and out winger but would do well in the role of the second striker who drifts out a bitScoham said:The more I see Dixon it becomes clearer he’s a poacher with pace, rather than a goalscoring wide player.

TC is not a goalscorer and personally I don’t think he ever will be. Dixon clearly has pace and scores goals for fun so I could easily see him slotting in and replacing TC when he is readyScoham said:The more I see Dixon it becomes clearer he’s a poacher with pace, rather than a goalscoring wide player.

Dixon is eager even generous when receiving the ball, in finding a team mate. Definitely a poacher when the chance is there, but will snatch at one or two.I think he is at his best when being the most advanced player, facing the goal with the ball at his feet, he will also make his own chances, or chances for the team, with his willingness to chase and close down. At worst in that aspect is he can force defenders to concede throw ins deep in their own half, or rush clearances.He also uses tricks and shuffles almost instinctively like Small, and like Small they don’t always come off.
When he first arrived I thought he would be a lightening fast winger, able to use a diddle either to get through on goal or fashion a cross, but he hasn’t really been like that, not really a CBT.
I suspect Dixon will find a good settled lane or groove eventually, but at the moment he is hard to categorise.7 -
Agree Dixon could when he’s ready, my point was he’d play the role in a different way. I imagine he’d get in more goalscoring positions and get those poachers goals that TC doesn’t, but he wouldn’t consistently offer the width that TC does.eaststandmike said:

Definitely the role in our current team for him to aim for though, he’s clearly not a hold up striker or wing back.
I can see TCs end product improving but that being a mixture of goals and assists, rather than ever becoming a reliable goalscorer.0 -
Come back on subject of Danny Hylton he not featured as a official coach either. At the moment it just training with the first team until we hear otherwise.

Correcting what I said earlier using the FA Course detailsScoham said:
When did he get his A license? His LinkedIn headline suggests he’s still studying towards it.JustFloydRoad said:SidewaysInOz said:If Danny is open to hanging up the boots surely get him on the coaching team full time?ForeverAddickted said:Would keep Hylton as he's potentially offering something more than just playing
He now has his UEFA A License, so wouldn't mind that. Again this is what I have been saying about Danny Hylton all along. Yes he is our worst forward, but I would be concerned (as a fan) if our best forward was a player/coach.
The UEFA A Licence is divided into six residential modules held at The FA's national football centre, St. George's Park.
Each block lasts for two days with in-situ support from an FA coach developer provided in-between the blocks, whose role it is to support and challenge the thinking and learning you apply within your coaching.
From what I understand Hylton last completed Block Four, so will be entering the final two modules in the next few months (whether this has an impact on his Charlton career or not remains to be seen).

Hylton couldn't find a ball in his own ball bag.2

Still keep tabs on our results....0 -
Is he still with us as a coach?0

Officially no but he is (or was) still training at SL the last time we had any official news.Todds_right_hook said:Is he still with us as a coach?1 -
I'm fairly sure I saw him on the pitch after the win on Tuesday so must still be involved in some capacity7
-
So have we given him a new contract or not?0

It might be possible that Hylton has contributed more to the cause for his money than Methven, Rodwell and Scott combined.0

I’m not a fan of any of those but can you state what they have and haven’t contributed to the cause?
likewise, what has hylton done/not done.
i know the response will be the signing of ahadme, a Campbell etc, how about the signings of Coventry, Ramsay and small?
apologies but posts like this do wind me up. Constant attack, same agenda without evidence to back it up.

Might be a case of we let him use the training facilities etc to keep himself fit and in exchange he helps out in training sessions "as a favour" and without a formal contract or agreement.fenaddick said:2 -

Danny Hylton has scored more goals for Charlton in friendlies and league games than the other three. That’s evidence.5 -
And how many contracts did he negotiate? Or how many players did he scout?seth plum said:

I'd guess Hylton is still working towards his coaching qualifications so he can use us to get them and we get a free coach.8

An actual player scored more goals for the first team than the club executives. Who'd have thought it?!5 -
How may community activities has hylton been involved in, how many tie ups etc with Caribbean clubs, how many sponsorship deals etc.seth plum said:

obviously I do not have the answer to these questions, neither do I have an understanding of any of the aboves daily tasks! However, I’m not spouting off about their lack of contribution despite not knowing what their contribution is.0 -
No but there is an offer on the table if he wants to join us in a coaching roleTodds_right_hook said:Is he still with us as a coach?2
