Christophe Lepoint to sign ? (ed. Signed)
Comments
-
A lack of fitness and being in the squad for a few days can not excuse that first touch, which reminded me of when I was about 8 years old.2

Not a million miles from what I was saying to a mate yesterday. He's probably been pin pointed out as a decent player for Truiden, but currently unwilling to drop a division, so wiley uncle Rolly signs him for Charlton (knowing full well he's not up to the required standard) and waits for him to get pissed off at not playing, then Rolly will suggest a "loan" to ST to enable some first team football.Redvaliant said:My guess is that he has been bought by the network, given to us with the instruction for him to get some game time. Next season he will be at Sint "on loan" who look likely to get promoted to the Belgian pro league and will need some one of his experience. Or perhaps I'm just being cynical.
We're just the bait.....................4 -
True, but he was their and showed enough strength for the Rotherham player to make a mistake. Wasn't rally impressed with him but you cannot make a fair assessment on only 15 minutes of football when he has only been in the country 2 days.Missed It said:
I don't think Lepoint qualifies for an assist. He'd lost control of the ball and a Rotherham defender prodded it on to Jordan CousinsJakeCAFC_94 said:Just seen the highlights on the football league show.
How can anyone possibly say that he doesn't deserve an assist? I saw some good hold up play that then allowed Jordan to get his shot off.
But then again Charlton fans would think they have the right to tell him he's not worthy based off them seeing a 15 minute cameo!2 -
I didn't see a contribution from Lepoint yesterday that couldn't have been improved if it were Jack Munns or Oliver Muldoon.1

We probably wouldn't have scored that goal yesterday if Munns was the one trying to shield the ball.
That'd be like an ant trying to shield an apple.13 -
Usual rubbish spouted on here. Give the guy a chance ffs6

Looks like he's running through toffee0

I agree with all the above, but saying his performance was woeful,which it undeniably was, is not the same as writing him off completely and wishing him to fail as others have suggested.ValleyGary said:
not that suprising when you think he has only had one morning in training with the team, plus coming on as a sub it's sometimes hard to get to terms with the game._MrDick said:Actually felt sorry for him coming into that team. For a start he shouldn't have come on for Milos, who I thought was our best player today, because it completely ruined the shape of the team. But he just didn't seem to know what he was doing, where he should be or what his role was. I dread to think what he's going to be like over 9mins.
The blokes been playing for a top flight Belgian side, he's no mug. Give him a chance.
I want him,like any other Charlton player, to succeed regardless of where he has come from.
Your generous defence of him ,Gary,begs the question:were you there to actually see him?

More like Nil Points
The first thing I said to my mate after I had seen 5 mins of him was that it reminded me of Tom Hovi coming on for the final 10 v Derby around 1994 or so.
I can guarantee we will have a poster on this board in 15 years time called 'IsawLepointplay'.

To be fair Large I think he was on for 15 minutes.LargeAddick said:Good to see you are all judging him on about ten minutes of football. For gawds sake give the guy a chance. He only signed Thursday, trained with the rest of the lads once, and came on seeming to have no actual role to fill. Seems to me like it's been decided that he is Belgian, therefore we don't want him, so hope he fails.

The reason the World watches Premiership football is because of the tempo. The Championship has to follow that model. Hence midfielders without exellent close control and pace are lost. Hence the demise of JJ. Buyens struggles for this reason. Roland's scouting system has yet to cotton on. Tragic that LePoint is not a loan because he will get game time to justify his signing.0

He did have a touch of the Brendan's about him (with a hint of Leon Clarke thrown in)._MrDick said:I reckon he's s cross between Brendan O'Connell and basketball player
His first two touches were fine...nice little headed ball forward to feet and a first time pass. The two mistakes were where tried to keep possession instead of clearing it first time up the line. Positionally he was ok and he did make sure he was picking a man up when Rotherham had possession. If the U21s have a game, I'd give him the whole 90 mins because he might have to start at Boro if we opt for 4-5-1.0 -

Not the best debut granted but in his defence its hard to come on and impress in 15 mins. Think he was trying a bit too hard. If he played for Belguim he cant be half bad0

I despair0

The way I see it is that through his poor control the ball ended up where Jordan could stick it in the net. Now it was clearly not intentional, or planned, but would not have happened at all if he hadn't been there TO miscontrol the ball. As the song goes, he came in like a wrecking ball... and we ended up scoring the first home goal in what feels like an (ice) age. He might not be the most skilful, in fact a couple of his old club's fans have admitted such, but his just getting into the box and TRYING to make things happen is positive. Creating chances through clever passing and wing play is clearly not working for us right now so if sending a big bald battering ram in to cause utter confusion does work, then by all means we should be glad of it.
Compare it to Iggy a few weeks ago and Watt in this game - they got through, thought about it and got it totally wrong. Lepoint barges in like a pissed off rhino and without about as skilful control but we finally get a goal. They all count, and for that I am glad.2 -
Is this necessary? People are commenting on how he performed. I'm sure everyone hopes he improves and is a success here.scabbyhorse said:You can judge a player after 15 mins of football? What a load of bollocks! Some of you lot on here are actually utter arseholes.

Muldoon that we've never seen and Munns who make Solly look like a giant - is supposed to hold off a central defender.seth plum said:I didn't see a contribution from Lepoint yesterday that couldn't have been improved if it were Jack Munns or Oliver Muldoon.
I think not
With his bald head and running style he looked a bit like Zinedine Zidane of France
Unfortunately his first touch was more like that of Graham Zidane the it consultant from Solihull
It wasn't great but he looked eager, didn't hide, created the goal and managed to whack someone - more than Harriott did
