How do you know if you've ever met a vegan who hasn't told you they were a vegan?Covered_End_Lad said:

For me the experience is similar to really religious people.

Me too, Leuthy. Who would have thought that we had something in common, eh?Leuth said:

I would surely be so overcome with their aurora of empathy that it would be obvious, no?Cloudworm said:

Funnily enough I didn't know he was a vegan until Seth mentioned it earlier. We chatted for about 5 minutes so he had ample opportunity ...Covered_End_Lad said:

Lads, can we give the "vegans are empathetic"/"vegans are bores" and all the other associated dietary critique a rest? It's incredibly tedious.@rananegra did he say whether he'd changed his mind on his best position after last season, or does he still favour midfield given the opportunity?7

You've met a couple of good ones there. Bradley Pritchard is an absolute delight!rananegra said:Sean Clare joined the admittedly short list of players I've met outside of a Charlton context (the other was Bradley Pritchard) a couple of months ago in a small folk club in North London. No I wasn't expecting it either, but his Dad was playing. We had a brief chat and he came across very well. I like him as a player, and hope he does well this season. Came across as level headed and appreciative.0 -
That’s the digital age in a nutshell.Cloudworm said:Never said meat eaters couldn't be empathetic, just that vegans usually are.

It’s very tiresome.8 -

Are you saying we should bring back Gunter? I wonder if he’s vegan.addick1956 said:
If you listen to people on here being Welsh caps they don't matter.Oggy Red said:
Especially when you consider they had 123 international caps between them.Scoham said:
I wouldn’t rule out SS moving across to RB, especially if we get a LB in. Good to have a few promising options rather than Matthews and Gunter.Leuth said:I do wonder whether Garner will get Clare learning how to play CB in a back 2, in preparation for Egbo's return, in case both Inniss and Lavelle turn out to be sub-optimal at this whole Barcelona from the back thing.

What was he supposed to say?sillav nitram said:

"Sorry Olly, I won't give you an answer before the first game of the season for some promo material for the website/social media in case I curse our performance." ?5 -
Going to say it now, he will be our ‘modern day’ kishishev!
understated, composed and no qualms but very good and surely one of the first names on a team sheet- hopefully here for many years to come!Clearly aligns with what we want footballing wise, but equally what Charlton Athletic stand for, both coming from the academy and as an ‘outsider’- year professional12 -
Proper Curbs-style utility player. Wouldn't say one of the first names kn the team sheet, as I don't think he will play when everyone is fit. Great player to have in the squad thoughsammy391 said:Going to say it now, he will be our ‘modern day’ kishishev!

The only issue for Clare is that usually a player who can play in a few positions but not really nail one down as his own, is likely to eventually lose his place to someone who is a specialist in that position.
He isn't going to go back to CB unless we have an emergency, and i can't see him in midfield where we're well stocked. He's done well so far at RB but until we've seen Egbo we don't really know what Clare is competing with.0 -
Clare has been excellent - perhaps the player that has taken to Garner’s preferred patterns of play with the least issues. It’ll be tough for Egbo to displace him based on the last three games of evidence.
Mandela did play a couple of games for Swindon as one of the wide forwards if I’m not mistaken. That might be his best route into the team with the way Clare is playing atm.
He’s my early sneaky choice for POTY.4 -

Another really good, eloquent interview from Sean. I'm a big fan of his.8

Interesting that two players fans can't get enough of at the moment are Clare and Dobson. This time last year they were poster children for our terrible transfer business (why are we signing League One rejects?!). I'm not saying that there weren't problems with how we signed players in that window, but it just goes to show that a bit of time to settle and suddenly players can show you why Gallen and the rest wanted to sign them in the first place.

Both excellent . I maintain that Clare has had to go back into defence to show his worth, however , but he is very good there.Garrymanilow said:Interesting that two players fans can't get enough of at the moment are Clare and Dobson.

100% Clare wouldn't get in our squad as a midfielder. Either more luck than judgement or genius levels of visionary long game playing. I really think he could play in the championship at right back. If he wants to.Garrymanilow said:Interesting that two players fans can't get enough of at the moment are Clare and Dobson.

Robinson knew he was a full back. For all of his Brentisms and tactical limitations (which I think he’s probably grown out of) he is a good judge of a footballer .Cafc43v3r said:

Clare had an absolute stormer last night.
He looks a better and more confident player this season after his recent surgery.14 -
Such an important player for us, has really made that position on the right his own too. He seems to be one of the real leaders of this squad, surprised he wasn’t given the captains armband.4
-
His athleticism reminds me of Jordan Cousins but has a better touch/pass...8
-
Why did he limp off?
He had a major fall during the first half (into the opposition dugout) but seemed to recover, but after about 55 minutes was really struggling and went off straight down the tunnel.0 -
Clare has a proper Charlton feel to him, I know he came through our youth set up, but he is the kind of player Curbs would have around the place. Decent character, can play in a few positions and good technician.14
-
People around me were saying yesterday he was becoming a bit of a Charlton legend. I can't disagree. Hard to imagine how Egbo gets the spot unless rotation is factored in1
-
Didn't rate him last season, he has started this one superbly. Needs to cut out the silly fouls against the better teams. Egbo going to find it very hard to dislodge him
Rhythm is a dancerSean Clare is the answerYou can play him anywhereScoring goals like rocketsWingers in his pocketsHe's got really massive hair16
