I don't know why he's still starting games. He has been atrocious. 

The only other option is really Alli and he's arguably worse as the board bought no one to play on the right

The budget we did have has been spent absolutely abysmally

One of the better signings of the summer has been sat on the bench all night too

An out of position Mesik would probably do a better job than both

ProperCharlton

Absolute waste of space

JRS would have helped

LargeAddick

toss up between him and Alli as to who is worse.

Redspace

Not a championship player anymore. Poor recruiting on this one

paulsturgess

This guy is a joke

never rated him first time round , god he’s bad now, completely bereft of quality 

as a signing, no credence whatsoever paid to the essential Curbs fundamentals any good Charlton side in my life has been built on… hungry or angry

disgraceful bit of business

Play Leaburn on the right. Not ideal but the best bet with what we have.

Probably agree with this tbh

crookester

I don't think he lacks quality, he lacks giving a f*ck. That's why every now and again you get 10 mins of football out of him in a game, with the rest spent strolling around the pitch and ducking out of tackles.

Sword65pf

I still think he’s been shit!!!!

Crispywood

How he’s convinced managers to play him over 250 games at this level is incredible 

J BLOCK

Worst of the lot, does nothing at all in games and tonight he couldn’t be bothered to run. 

Redspace

Gives the ball away alot, goes missing in games and is not there when sh#t hits the fan.
Was underwhelmed when i heard he signed for us again

Elthamaddick

he's definitely nicked a living for a few weeks now. 

he was absolutely shocking last night and no idea how he lasted on the pitch as long as he did

ross1

What was the reason for signing him and who's idea was it. Complete waste of space, luckily he does not use up a lot of it 😁

Garrymanilow

The reason for signing him I suspect was to play on the left wing as a replacement for TC. He started the season there with TC on the right with the expectation that TC would move on and we'd get a proper right winger in. The problem is he didn't offer as much from the left as TC did and switching them mid-game was always the best tactic. A suitable move didn't emerge for TC, he started the season brilliantly and seemed much happier and we didn't get that right winger. Since then Grant has played as a 10 more than anything else where he's been poor and his confidence has collapsed with everyone else's. I think there's another version of this season where we can rotate him and TC on the left with a proper right winger on the other side and they push each other on to be better every game knowing there's a good player snapping at their heels. As it is he's been run down playing out of position and now he's got a face on.

YannTheMann

He's been absolute shirker for best part of 6 weeks now, started relatively brightly too but has downed tools in record time, seems a bad egg without knowing anything going on behind the scenes

Definitely sold a dream, probably told he would be the main man in the summer as TC would move on, we'd switch to a 4231 and he'd be number 1 choice out on the left. 

We get some injuries, don't sell TC, fail to sign a right winger and end up changing formation and he's being shoehorned in.

Last 5 games or so he's started left wing, number 10, up top, right wing, and at one point last night was essentially dropping deep enough to be in central midfield

Blokes a bigger sulker than Trump.

Crispywood

He’s been absolutely shocking but would be interested to see how much of that is down to the system/style and lack of game time in his preferred position or just him genuinely being crap.

the goals at Bristol city and Preston shows he has quality but seriously needs to deliver better than 5 mins every game 

MickeyBennett

Much better without this turd in the team. Awful player, awful vibes.

_uptheaddicks

Okay, he's been playing injured and having an injection this week. I'm happy to believe that as he doesn't twist and turn like earlier in the season.

For once I got one of those "I'll ask my x club supporting mates" 

One of my friends at work is a Baggies fan, and I've never heard such an underwhelming review. 

The issue is, the lad who told me is very religious and has a rep at work for being overly kind, so wouldn't have said anything for dramatic impact, he really wasn't fond of him. 

Braziliance said:

He basically told me, that he's absolutely useless, a waste of wages, and him and every West Brom fan he knows is delighted he's off the wage book being one of their big earners.

Said he was a complete one trick on the wing, could only ever knock it round someone, after all the injuries he has genuinely lost a yard of pace not to be cliché (his words). Says he is wasteful infront of goal on the rare chances he gets, surprised he got a championship move, and said if everything aligns, he plays his very best and the other teams aren't on it and he plays a full 46 (unlikely as he's too unfit) then and only then may he get high single digit goals. Said no chance he can play out wide for us, as he's too slow, and a complete turn around and pass back to midfield merchant. 

Also said he is an absolute knobhead and a thoroughly dislikable bloke. 

I don't think I have ever heard a more harsh review on a player when I have asked someone. 😂

Will certainly be interesting.

Looks like my mate Mace was on the money, unfortunately 

cabbles

Today’s win means he needs to earn his place back in the team.  A good chance to see if he’s up for it 

Alwaysneil

Seemed we were playing him because of his experience and salary and not what he was doing in games. Has looked toilet for months, hope he is properly fit and raging at the bit before he gets another minute. A lot to prove.

Also still needs a shave. 

Chris_from_Sidcup

I'm prepared to cut him some slack if he's been playing through injury but that of course then leads to the question that given how poor he has been, why the fuck has Jones kept starting him?
