Currently live on Instagram talking about all Football but currently on Charlton

Mentioned that there was one away game when Rommedahl was sitting in Ugg Boots because he was cold

Even they admitted he couldnt cross the ball

His goal against the filth justified his salary with us.

A decent one up at Newcastle as well, although not so important!

Every goal Dennis got was great - just a shame they were all away from home.

"Dennis in the last minute" 

You do realise it was at Selhurst? Or am I being whooshed?

I still love that Curbs persuaded him to join Charlton, I remember being really made-up about it.
I know he probably didn't deliver all that was expected, but that was probs less to do with him then with us not being quite good enough to accommodate him.
Anyway, I'll slap anyone I hear dissing him.
When I say slap, I mean I will look very fierce.

I have never played football at any level, but even I could see that DR didn't want the ball with his back to goal.  He may have been a shit crosser into a crowded box but if we passed for him to run onto, 1v1 or 2v2 it may have been different.

Yeah we really didnt play to his strengths, the few times we did he was unplayable

Didnt he put in another really good performance @ Middlesbrough?

Ultimately the biggest disappointed was the fact he couldnt get Mark van Bommel to sign for us (if ever we were truly interested)

3-0 game very early in the season on television.

We had Bent, Rommedhal, Murphy and Smertin running the show for those first few games. Incredible attacking football, suited to all of them.

As I remember we had a capitulation against Spurs or Blackburn at The Valley and Curbishley decided from thereon in it was eleven men behind the ball all the bloody time, which really wasted their talent, (especially Rommedhal), and completely pissed off Murphy. I don't like the bloke but he was initially vocally positive about our getting into Europe the chemistry they had and the way they were playing in those early games.

Big reason Smertin wanted out too I think.

Typical Charlton... "what might have been"

Did Smertin want out? I thought he said in a recent interview the move back to Chelsea was forced?

He had an offer from Russia and wanted to take it.

I remember that Spurs game as well!!

We were 2-0 up and bloody cruising... Heavens suddenly opened and think Spurs got a lucky goal as a result - Game completely changed from that moment

I then went to that Blackburn game in the Carling Cup and was an exact repeat - 2-0 up and then capitulated in the last 15mins to lose 3-2 again

Did Jacko score his only goal for Spurs in that game?

ForeverAddickted said:

Yeah after Pouso's comments I jumped on to SoccerBase - Really dont remember that 5-2 defeat against Man City at the Valley

I remember the Rommedahl signing when we completed it felt like we were really stepping up from little Charlton to a serious Prem team who should be looking to challenge to get into Europe consistently. Every time he was on the teamsheet I felt that he just needed that one burst away from an opposition player to cause some damage, but it almost never happened. I view him as a bit of a watershed for Charlton; I always think that if he'd lived up to his potential we might have been able to attract a few more higher reputation players and turned a corner, we might have had at least one season in Europe and Curbs wouldn't have felt like he'd reached the end when he did. Obviously it wasn't all Dennis's fault but I always associate him with that point where as a club Charlton failed to push on through their ceiling and ultimately started to drift back down to where we are now

Of course it wasnt till the season after Dennis joined but you then had Dean Kiely dropped from the team whose Charlton career was over too soon

I know we had Scott Carson the following season, he got Player of the Year etc. but wonder if we'd have done better with Deano

We certainly would have done back in the Championship as remember him being a proper thorn in our side when we played West Brom

When you look at it we've had some pretty decent keepers over the years

Its difficult to list them because of the various Leagues they've each played in but if I had to do it on that basis:

Premier League: Kiely | Carson | Myhre | Royce | Anderson | Ilic | Petterson
Championship: Kiely | Hamer | Phillips | Ilic | Salmon | Elliot | Button | Weaver | Petterson
League One: Hamer | Phillips | Amos | Steer | Randolph | Elliot | Sullivan | Worner

Dont think I've forgotten anyone (Dont think I ever saw Mike Ammann play which is why I've not included him)

Carson was phenomenal. One of the reasons we survived as long as did that season.

I forgot about Ikeme and Etheridge

Deliberately left off Caig and Roberts (Dont remember him making an appearance) as felt it would be harsh to rate them

Roberts made one appearance against Fulham, came on when Kiely got sent off and gave away a pen. Roberts did not save it, so he managed to more or less concede a goal in the first minute of his only ever Charlton appearance, which is fun.

Cheers, until you mentioned I only thought that Kiely got sent off the once which was on the final day of the season so giving Tony Craig a game
