I never had a problem with Church. If you remember just how skint and short-handed Charlton were when he was signed, it was clear we weren't shopping at Harrods for strikers. He always put a shift in, even when the crowd were giving him grief for the heinous crime of not being very good. He deserves a break from the boo-boys and I think he'll do alright in Scottish football.
I'm sorry but putting a shift in is never enough on it's own. If he ever caught a defender or a goalkeeper unawares and forced them into a mistake, if he ever cut out a loose pass and managed to turn it into an attack, if he ever consistently changed the balance of our play in our favour, then yes his lack of goals would be partially offset by his impact.
Except he barely if ever HAD an impact. He just ran around an awful lot achieving absolutely nothing noteworthy.
He might not have been the greatest player in the shirt, but he always put a shift in. I respect that.
I hope the hip injury isn't too debilitating in every day life, and maybe he can make a comeback at a lower league level one day soon. All the best to him.

made Bradley Allen look like he had a powerful shot!
I wish him all the best for the future and sympathise that he has had to stop playing so young.
