Will Ambrose feature Saturday ?
What do you think of him as a player , or what did you think of him at charlton?

IMO he was one of the many players who come to us , underperform, move on to other teams and play well, will he score Saturday ?

    His best game for us was against his old club Ipswich when he was in the hole. He'll score against us for sure... He was very inconsistent

  • Yeah that's true, however he always seems to perform well when he wants to
    E.G:
    Against old clubs

    Carling cup against Manchester united

    Doesn't deserve the (sometimes potentially homophobic) abuse he gets on here, was ill-used but also didn't help himself on occasions by bottling out of challenges. A talent we didn't see much of, you can go on about newbie Green and our boy Waggy but Ambrose is a class above.

    Good luck to him.

    That's why ambrose divided opinion eastterrace, he had the skills but didn't always put in the effort. Personally I liked him but he was frustrating

    he is a good attacking player and used right he'll get and create goals for brum.
  • Seems to be the story with many of the players that played for us, jerome thomas is another example
  • Good luck to him

    Likewise.... although sometimes I think as supporters and as his managers we were expecting him to play in too much of a Charlton way, relying too much on work ethic and not enough on creativity. Claus used to suffer abuse in many games for work-rate issues but is now in favourite players lists. To be fair he did deliver more!

    Ambrose needed more of a free role and the rest of the team almost built around him, if we could have afforded that.
  • LAZY! Overpaid underachiever.

    I think this was cause and effect starting with egoism and flippancy at the very top of the club. There was just a dreadful attitude in Charlton in general, and instead of bottoming out it got worse and worse, bringing in more and more awful staff (players/managers/non-playing staff), and bad decision after bad decision. I believe we've had *so* many players, Ambrose and Varney to name just two, that would have thrived under the new regime.

    The players we have now, I'm still sure that money is their number one priority - but it's amazing what a bit of team spirit and seeming to *want* to win does for a football club!

  • Nailed on to score. To inconsistent while with us.
