    And we have a third division full back playing at third division standard in a third division team - yet some people want more.

    Is Francis "the worst full back ever to wear a Charlton shirt"? Haven't seen them all but I'd take an educated guess at "No".

    Is he the worst full back we've had in recent times? Probably, but then as we're playing at our lowest level since the early 80's that's hardly surprising, is it?

    Give the fella a break FFS. Don't understand this fascination with constantly slagging our own players off all the time.

    Omozusi got the same treatment.

    Some seem to need a scapegoat.
  • No he is a 4th division defender in the 3rd division Sthend got relegated and he is not a youth product of our making.


    so he is fair game


    Francis is Shite

    Not too well apparently. A Saints fan on F365 wants to send him back to us
  • Lets get him back then?

    Why? So we can watch him puff out his chest and run down another blind alley? Not for me thanks

    I am one of those rare breed of Charlton fans who actually really rate Francis. His technique is very very good as is his control and whilst his passing may go astray he is also capable of a pass and delivery thet NOBODY else in a Charlton shirt can do.

    There aren't many better right backs in this division - not saying he is the best there is - but he is absolutely nowhere near as bad as some on here make out

    Francis better than Richardson!

    He's dreadfully slow which - as with Basey - is always going to be a handicap in that position. Not our finest signing, but not as awful as is made out.

  • Fuck me I have read some stuff on here before, but Francis better than Richardson, what a load of shite.The geezer is the worse player I have seen in a charlton shirt. Why well because we are playing at the lowest level we ever have and his is the worse player in the team.Chris Solly pisses all over him as a player.Don't forget Southend got relegated last season Francis is a pony 4th division player.

    Why not just support all the players in our squad?

    Only the manager can decide who plays at right back.

    Whoever he decides is good enough for me!

    why should we 'leave him alone FFS'. This is a place to talk about our players, whether we praise them or criticise them.

    Francis is a conference defender. just because he wears a charlton shirt doesnt mean we have to rate him. support him yes. rate him no.

    solly defo better than him and from the brentford game id say jenkinson is twice as good as francis.

    i see this thread is now a francis is he shite or not thread!!!!
  • no it's not he is shite and of not a question of him not being .
  • I like Solly, but he had a couple of shockers pre-season and I rashly wrote him off. He redeemed himself in Bournemouth game & since.

    If Francis is the worst player you've ever seen playing for Charlton then you can't have been a fan for long.
