I was just wondering to myself, after doing so well last season, why isn't he playing for you at the moment?
Great a a totally dominant league one team. Not effective in an average championship team. Move him on, we'll move on.
Because he is on loan at Brentford. He had a run of games at the start of the season but only managed one goal in about eleven. He has since been out of favour but in all honesty he hasn't really been given a fair crack of the whip this season, mainly just coming off the bench with a couple of seconds to go. He had a couple of goals disallowed which probably shouldn't have been and has since been shipped out on loan. All in all, he has been a little unlucky and his confidence has probably taken a knock. He is out of contract in the summer, so has probably played his last game for us.
A lot of strikers are confidence players but he more than most. Even last season he had one shortish and one longish barren spell when nothing would go right until a bit of luck sparked him off again. His second half of last season was nowhere near as good as the first half so maybe the writing was on the wall but we didn't read it. He is not pulling up any trees for Brentford either. But he will be a great free transfer signing for some Div One club this summer. Maybe Mlllwall if they go down. They have been on the slide since losing Chris Wood.
Dropped today. On the bench alongside Hayes. Hayes has only played a third of their games since signing. Maybe the Good Doctor does know more than us after all.
No he doesn't. Michael Slater should get rid of the manager, read Not606, and pick the team that we choose.
Good idea in theory but we all pick wildly different teams. We have some eccentric selectors on not606. Belvedere has a fetish about left-footers on the bench, others for spotty-faced youngsters, wingers, those "who wear the shirt with pride" (meaning players who know they have no chance of getting as good a deal anywhere else), those who resent any changes from last year's team and want to get relegated and play before 7000 "genuine" supporters. And so on. On balance, I think it best we carry on the present system. I email CP the team on Thursday evening and he remits 50 quid per point gained by PayPal on Monday when I have been successful.
I can see your point, Eddie, but I have thought of a compromise. Didn't Martin "Mad Dog" Allen used to run a competition for fans, and the winner would spend one game in the dug-out? Well surely CP could have a lap-top in the dug-out by which we could transmit our thoughts on the game. AHLL could organise a poll on substitutions, so that The Doctor doesn't have to plough through all the dubious postings, just follow the most popular advice, which would undoubtedly be the best. In the post-match interview, if we lost, CP could blame us, and everyone would understand.
Every Charlton fan has an abiding sense of tragedy which sustains him through temporary periods of joy.
