    Is he bang out of form, or was the end of his Blackpool term/start of his Charlton term the mother of all purple patches?

    Tbf would have been relegated last season without him he could be awful for the next two years and he still would have contributed massively in his time in a Charlton shirt.

    I’d like to hear what Nathan thinks on this. He’s played a lot of players, even ones out of position, over him. Training performance, injury, attitude? What’s the reason

    Stuff that happens at every club up and down the country I expect.

    Out of form, not fancied, not as good as the options we have. 

    Who knows, but I don’t think it’s something we really need to be thinking to deep into.

    As things stand, could see Sonny leaving on loan in Jan

    Seems like something must be going on with Carey. The slip down the pecking order can be attributed to form. But he was the first player off the pitch today, and walked off alone whilst the rest of the group walked round the pitch to celebrate. Not trying to speculate and have no info, just seemed a bit strange to me.

    Thought he played quite well today in his cameo

    To be fair I thought he put in a good amount of effort and celebrated like he cared when Godden scored.

    I think people read way to much into things sometimes. Trying to find things there which are not.

    If you reread the post I didn’t question his effort. I’m a massive fan of Carey. Just feel like there must be something up with him to not want to celebrate with the rest of the players.

    He lost the ball unnecessarily twice by not getting his head up and looking for a pass. And that’s always been a frustrating part of his game. 

    You could excuse it when he was banging goals in for us. But without that I’m not sure what he’s offering.

    He’s a purple patch player and we can’t afford to carry him and wait until he rediscovers form in front of goal because he offers almost nothing else.

    There was one jinking run into the box that I thought made him look like his old self today. He then lost the ball, rather than get the ball away, and thought: "Yup... Definitely back" - Jokes aside, he's frustrating when that happens, but its no where near as frustrating as the version of him that has just hid in games this season.

    I thought the same, he did ok when he came on. The fact he was the only one highlighted it.

    He got a bollocking from Jones for dithering on the ball and losing it just after we'd  taken the lead. That might explain why he sulked off.

    His goals for us last season were huge, but its been a long time now since he was in form. He has to do more than think about shooting but he just doesnt look up enough. With love and respect, I think its time for him to move on.

    Unreal ball across which would have put Alli through 1 on 1 at the end if he'd controlled it

    That ball was directed by Matt Godden tbf, and it wasn't inch-perfect either. At least he listened to Godden

    I’m not giving up on Sonny yet, he’s proved he can be an asset and maybe lost his way a little, not the only one by the way. If he can show character and get back to doing what he does well and learn from mistakes he is young enough to be a real asset going forward. If he was to be bombed out I wouldn’t be surprised to see him do well elsewhere.

    thought he was very useful when he came on today personally

    Fans like his energy and desire to just go forward, but it is quite easy to read for an opposition player at this level now, after the surprise factor from last season.
    He played us into trouble at times, but also relieved pressure. It is a shame our CMs never get to train with Chalobah and learn from him!
