Chuks (p.61 - Released)

Think he comes on even if we’re winning. He hasn’t played in a match for nearly a month, a bit of rhythm is invaluable

And we might want to rest/protect Godden 

Agree but think either Mbick or Kanu (if he makes the bench) are used for that

I can see Chuks scoring if he comes on, he will be properly fired up.  Would be great to see him score a winner and then celebrate in front of Leahy after the final whistle.

Cross from the left, Chuks dunks on Leahy at the back post to head it in 

I’d rather we were 3-0 up after 15 minutes , sit on it comfortably and don’t need him. 

Agree.
If Chuks gets on for his cameo, we will probably be struggling. With many Charlton fans/critics judging players on just their last game, not their overall season, if Aneke scored a goal, an online petition would be started to give him a new contract 😱

Hypothetical question, if we are still in league 1 next season, would something like the below be a potential option 

Wage: 1.5k a week (about average for L2 I believe) 

Appearance fee: 1.5k a week( if Aneke is fit and playing then he will be earning an average league 1 wage) 

Goal/Asisst bonus: £1k 

Aneke is happy here, and clearly a good presence in the dressing room. If he was injured he’d only be costing us a small amount, but if he’s fit and playing well he can earn good money. And it’s probably a better offer than he would get elsewhere. I doubt there’s any chance this happens but just a thought

There is a point I want to bring up here...

If, on Thursday, we're 1- 0 up 10 minutes to go, the very LAST person I want substituted is Godden. What happens if Wycombe equalise? And we then go into extra time? (As happened last time we were in the play-offs.) And it then goes to penalties?  (As happened last time we were in the play-offs.) 

Who do you want to see striding up to take the first penalty? Godden or Aneke? Considering their respective records from the penalty spot?

There is a 10 day gap to the final so players won't need to be rested. It is more about niggles/injuries.

No pressure, but Matty Godden hasn't scored a hat trick yet this season, bring Chuks on, when Matty's stuck his 3rd in, just to wind up the Wycombe players.

All set-up nicely for him really to come on and get the winner and then do an Emmanuel Adebayor-esque celebration in front of the Wycombe fans.  

Highley unlikely but you never know. It is a funny old game after all. 

I think we’d need 90mins + ET to have time to watch Chuks run from one end to the other 😂

Probably a 50/50 chance we will be shooting towards the away end second half. Pretty sure Wycombe will turn us around if they win the toss like Doncaster did 

Yes, there is a 50/50 chance we will be kicking towards the away end in the second half. 

If we come out at 100 MPH attacking the Covered end first half, it won't really help them, and the game could get done pretty quickly

You mean he is going to be in the basket of a push bike to get there quicker? 😉😆

(Better be a sturdy bike)

I see him on an electric scooter in New Eltham yesterday. That's probably why hes always injured keeps falling off.

honestly the standard of English on this site. Even I knew with my CSE grade 3 English that the past tense should be "I seed him on a electric scooter"

Sorry sir, I saw him.

Highest paid player ? Least effective ? 

Definitely. Maybe.


Let's hope once he finishes he doesn't turn to cigarettes and alcohol.

What a strange comment. 

If there's one thing that's almost certain about Chuks, it's that unlike many footballers out there he's got his priorities straight when it comes to how he looks after his money. He's heavily in invested into property and has already taken courses for scouting and coaching. He is also a leader off the pitch for many of our younger players, in particular our young strikers Kanu, TC, Mbick and Dixon

Has Seth Plum got a new account? 

I believe that's called a Whooooosh

Uncanny similarities !
