Agree about both those Scoham. What was that game where Sodje had to play most it up front on his own? We must have had a couple of sendings off or injuries (was it Swindon at home?). Fair play to him, he worked bloody hard that game, but it really wasn't pretty to look at.
Well Dicko has just opened his account in the Champions League, so I doubt he cared that some consider him one of out worst strikers. Limasol 3-0, so likely to get more chances to score.
Think it's really unfair to include Dennis Rommerdhal in this thread. Was not a great success for us but was used poorly by Curbs IMHO and to be fair has plied his trade all his career at far bigger clubs than us and ever present for a pretty good international team.

Toddy would have been brilliant if he hadn't been injured all the time. I really thought he'd get over his injuries with us but that Plymouth match saw to that. Real shame.
agreed, todorov had a quality touch and was worth a gamble. Was great for us (goal at palace) until rob styles organised his other knee to get obliterated.
The bloke - in the old money - is a third division centre-forward, what do people expect on a free transfer from Sheffield Wednesday? Marco Van Basten?
Sure, he was limited but he gave it the kitchen sink when he was out there and in a couple of games (Swindon, Leeds at The Valley) he was very, very good and earnt us crucial points.
For mine, putting aside anomalies like Mike Small, the worst striker I have seen at Charlton in terms of performances would have to be Marcus Bent - the bloke was supposed to be a Premier League striker but seemed to have no discernible talent at all.
He could not score, was poor in the air, gave the ball away, did not close people down enough, never got in behind people and thought he was too good for the place.
I think I only saw Marcus Bent play one decent game at the club, that was the 2-0 home win over Liverpool - and even then he missed two sitters.

Never Toddy, his goal vs Palace alone was enough to earn him a medal.
Ron Saunders.............can't believe you're saying that lolwray??
In his career he scored 201 goals in 390 games. His record for us was 28 goals in 68 games (not at all shabby!)....he finished top scorer for us in his last season, he was around 35/36 at the time.....and 8 times for other clubs he was with....mostly Pompey of course. On page 208 of The Valiant 500 Colin Cameron describes him as 'a great favourite at The Valley'....a view I wholeheartedly endorse. You're comment seems so implausable that I'm left thinking you have most likely mixed him up with someone else?

Akpo's control was the worst I've ever seen of any 'Pro'. Triangle feet.
But by a wafer, Mike Small is the all time worst though.
Never seen a player run backwards whilst trying to go forwards.
Unique talent.
As for Akpo, great performance in that Swindon game, tried hard but he was a bit of a laughing stock.
