    Great interview. Super bloke is Wagster. Clearly indicates that he's just as bemused about the fiasco that is Charlton as the rest of us.

    I spoke to him briefly after the Yeovil rain game....struck me as a really nice lad.

    Says he doesn't know half the players but then says with the players we've got, we should be further up the league. C'mon....make your mind up Scott.

    shouldn't this be a former employee disgruntled thread?

    I don't know Jamie Vardy but in my opinion he is not a bad striker.

    Scott, as a Bristol City squad member, will have seen and been briefed on the abilities (or not) of Charlton players.

    Would do well for us next year when we are back in the First division. Only trouble is Roland will not sanction the signing of someone who is "proper Charlton".

    Photo on facebook of him wearing a black and white scarf after the game.

    Meanwhile Danny Green says that he thinks Roland is a top bloke ; - )

    I'd take a team of Waggy's over the current bunch we have!

    The fittest team we ever had ?

    If not the most skillful !

    Top lad, always had time for a chat.

    Really didn't rate waggy when he was here. I'd have him back now in a heartbeat.

    He would stand out in this crowd, that's for sure .

    Waggy had a lot of limitations but he worked really well with Solly, they really complimented each other.
    Much more so than JBG despite his superior skill

    Doubt it. Could you imagine he's missing what's going on with us....

    I don't think he was good enough at the time. But he played for us when he was 17-22. Might've improved a little since then although I haven't seen him play personally.

    He's got two League One winners medals... Would have him back in a heartbeat if we went down (or if we survived)

    Waggy has hardly played for 18 months, he only gets 15 minutes, once a month ?

    Sounds like the type of player we would be after.

    First time I've ever known him to be injured though... You could say the same about Joe Gomez at Liverpool, for some injuries just come along at unfortunate times (it happens to everyone), for others (Andy Carroll) they'll be forever injured and I'd understand the annoyance at Charlton signing someone like that

    No doubt about it Scott is a great lad but is he one of the answers to our problem? Not really never was good enough for The Championship but League 1 maybe.

    That maybe..But Christ would he put in more effort than some we have at the moment, and score a few goals..

    Nearly 2 years ago http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/60831/i-miss-wagstaff/p1

    I think he's a decent footballer and one a managers favourite.

    He's playing in the championship now so it is his level.

    He is right, i half believe that with the squad we have in terms of individual ability (not squad size) we should be doing better but we shoot ourselves in the foot rather strangely.
