I've seen Crofts more times in a Charlton shirt than I ever saw of Darren Bent or Clive Mendonca. What a depressing thought.
Through no fault of his own his signing typified our lack of ambition. He also reflected Slade's style of management.
That 4 man midfield of Jackson - Ulvestad - Crofts - Foley was something else. Totally paceless & devoid of creativity.
Certainly the worst Charlton midfield of the last 35 years. @DickPlumb might recall the previous worst. How much dead wood have they now got left to shift ? Lennon Naby Sarr Page (will never be good enough)
It was Slade's Fantasy Midfield - and mirrored him in so many ways. Plodding, clueless and ugly on the eye
I have been impressed with Sarr this Season, great passing and he has defended strongly. I shall reserve judgement until he has a run of League games. I have only seen Page for a short space of time before he was sent off.
