They’ve all gone home for the weekend so our case isn’t getting reviewed till next week. They are an absolute joke haha 

Put yourself in the FA's shoes.

The FA have got something like 14 on the committee - and only 2 staff to do the admin, of which one is on holiday.

Don't give her grief or she won't come in on Monday.

Solly covering at left-back last season was, I am sorry to say, one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a Charlton player, culminating in a ridiculous red-card tackle I think 

Daft comment

Why? I've only seen about 200-300 Charlton games total, maybe (in person or on TV) - not many of those games have featured someone routinely losing the ball, getting skinned and then diving in two-footed when we're chasing the game against 10 men

What about players like Polish Pete who only get three minutes of Football or Christophe Lepoint who ran around as though he'd won a competition?

Not to mention Thuram or Rhoys Williams in more recent times.

Only Thuram game I remember being at was the win over QPR where he, sure, passed it straight to their striker, but then fooled him into running out of play. Quite entertaining

Three minutes at the end is obviously not enough to judge a performance. Lepoint rarely got more than a few minutes either. I wasn't there for the infamous Simon Francis game. Dan Seaborne vs Ipswich is up there too, I was at that one

What about Joe Pigott against Millwall or did he not play long enough to suit your argument either? - Not completely defending Chris against Oxford as he was shit but to say that was the worst ever performance is a bit rubbish

I was watching Pigott vs Millwall on a laptop in Cyprus, doesn't really count. Wasn't at the Hull game where Rhys Williams didn't exactly shine either

I thought you was proper Charlton following them week in week out over land and sea

Poor Pig. I remember watching him just run the ball out of play for no reason and visibly dying a little inside

Yep, thrown to the wolves  lions that day

Sorry just trying to catch up.  Re right back Bowyer is right it's the least important position in any squad, for more reasons than you might think.

1) Full backs, generally were something else first, at some level.  Either wingers, center halves or midfield players who don't have the tricks, physical presents or engine to excel in those positions.  

2) It is a relatively easy position to play, the whole game is in front of you, or should be, and you spend most of it facing the same way.

3) You should always have a team mate at 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock, or as near as possible.  A center half, worth his salt, should be able to "coach" you through a game, failing that, you should be near the touch line so for at least half the game the manager, a coach or a sub (remember Andy Hughes?) can do it. 

4) I think we have 5 naturally left footed players in our squad, so, excluding the keepers, we have about 15 right footed ones, a reasonable full back should never need to use their "wrong foot".

If you think about all the good/great full backs we have had I think it's almost common that the right backs should have been something else, but for the lack of something obvious, where the left backs you can't really imagine them being any thing diffrent. Any coach worth their salt, can make right back out of someone in their squad. 

Steve Gritt played RB in our first game back at the Valley, which rather proves your point!

Question for the historians (I haven't a clue what the answer is). Who was the first player we signed on loan? 

The first I remember was Steve Stacey from Ipswich 

Good shout. Wiki says 1970.

Good shout post second world war although loans actually go back to the late 1800's and were rife during the war years. In 1966, the Football League made what newspapers called a “most startling proposal” to allow the “temporary transfer of players” – with certain restrictions. Each club could make only two loan transfers per season, and transfer fees could not be paid. Loans had to last for at least three months, and they could only be made between clubs in different divisions.

As for the first Charlton player I'm going to pass but when his name is revealed I'll say 'Oh yeh I remember him'

And on

Well done mate, or did you Google it? 

No ...but ask me what I had for breakfast or what colour socks I am wearing and I won t have a clue 

Blimey, can't see your feet. You sure you're wearing any?

Brighton looking to loan out Tomer Hemed again this season. Worth a look?

Brighton will probably want us to pay some wages but not sure if he’s on Championship money or Premier League money.

37 goals in 94 apps over three seasons in the Championship. Last season on loan at QPR.

So I’ve been waiting for Hemed to be confirmed to claim my glory all the way back from Page 212 but I’m starting to worry that the thread will be closed before I get my chance..!



You’re welcome SG & LB! Feel free to add me to the scouting department at any time. I reckon I’m at least on a par with Tommy Driesen. :-)
