***Naby Sarr signed on 5 year deal*** (Ed. Gone)

ForeverAddickted

A good defender surely would have tracked the flight of the ball ensuring they were ahead at the right moment
There was a moment in the 1st half when it got lumped out wide with Doughty behind their player, I watched him all the way and darted in front last minute because the ball dropped

If I can defend him as usual,

NO! :-)

I won’t shed any tears if his contract is not renewed. I’m afraid he hasn’t won me over & I feel is still a liability. I know Leuth is the Sarr fan club & wont agree, but Sarr has made too many mistakes in his years at club & some have been costly

Priority signing needs to be a centre half that can play every game alongside Lockyer

Still a work in progress.

If we had a better budget he'd be still learning his trade as a back-up. 

As one of our highest earners? As someone said on the match thread, he's being badly found out at this level

I want Sarr to do well but unfortunately have to agree with this.

I would say Sarr has made 3 mistakes that have cost goals this season. Really not that terrible for a centre back. The problem is, and some of you will never see beyond it, just like people entirely blamed Tucudean and Piggot, he chose to make two of those mistakes against Millwall which has totally undone all the good will he built back up in the previous 9 months.

He’s not the greatest centre back of all time but he has his strengths and weaknesses like all players. I do think he’s being unfairly singled out at the moment though. There were  worse defensive errors made today going largely unmentioned.

Too slow at this level. Both in thought and action. 

Nice bloke apparently but not a Championship level player.

cafctom

Major liability - would prefer Pratley in defence

cafcfan1990

If we want to move forward than only maybe Lockyer is good enough to start. We need at least 3 quality options there.

I like Sarr as a person he comes across as being a good bloke. 
But as a footballer league one is his standard. 
That's why he looked quality last season and pony this.

His passing was alright though. He found a player nearly every time.
The only problem was that it was a Sheff W player.
And don't mention that lovely pass for a throw in, it was only about 10 yards out.

He seems like a brilliant person and he is a high end league 1 centre back but at this level I'm just not sure. Issue is with Sarr we know he is a confidence player so it's sometimes hard to judge. I would be happy for him to stay as I think there is something there but we need a proper partner for Lockyer, BFG would have been ideal 

lolwray

Sorry..he's a nice bloke and all that etc ..but he's there to stop the opposition scoring goals..and time and time again he let's himself down by lapses in concentration..it's excusable in a youngster but not someone at this level....

A player who has to have confidence in order to perform to the level he is capable of. Sarr’s confidence grew dramatically the second half of last season and we saw him develop into a big part of our success.
However, it seems as though he doesn’t cope very well with big games or occasions. The Play-Off final was an example that he just wasn’t able to cope with. Millwall this month another.
I personally don’t think he has really got that confidence back from the Play-Off final and it’s hit another blow after Millwall.
Naby needs support and a run of games in the side before we begin to see signs of the player we saw last season.

I'll say it if no one else won't.  I never want to see him in a Charlton shirt ever again.  So glad his contract is up at the end of the season.  The last remaining stance of the Rat era.

We are a small side so the physical presence of a fit and firing Naby is a considerable asset.

Had it been anyone other than Millwall he wouldn't have got half the stick he has.

Not having that last few games he has been very poor and cost us points.

Believe me I want him to do well but he is not a Championship standard player.

Exactly this. You could understand if he's there to help us play out from the back, but he can't even do that at the moment. 1 good pass for every 10 that go astray.

He's not even that physical though. Quite a soft lump really for his size.

Covered_End_Lad

I like Naby as a player, but he has been garbage last few months. Seems to struggle with his concentration - as a defender that can get you caught out.

Oggy Red

We've got our scapegoat back.

He's a confidence player. Build him up and he'll play better.

In the ground no one gives him abuse which is right, but he is pretty shit, how many more mistakes can he make?

Fletcher is a mediocre player who makes his living by scoring headers. The superb cross from Fox was hard to defend by any CH. Apart from a few misplaced but attacking passes, he had a decent game and was our only pivot from defence to midfield. Unless we want Pearce to hoof it forward aimlessly.

I'm pretty sure the cross for their first goal was Bannon after Fox passed it to him and Fletcher should not have been allowed an almost free header. You have to keep one eye on the forward and get some sort of challenge on the striker even just to block him without fouling. Nabby tried to get a foot on it! and was slow to react to the ball in IMO. He did better 2nd half,

It was Bannon.

The problem for their first in terms of Sarr is that his body shape is all wrong initially which allowed Fletcher to get the run on him and win the header. Had he turn his body slightly out, he would have been able to see Fletcher make the run at the same time as holding his position and knowing when the ball is played into the box. Instead, because his initial shape was all wrong, he was slow to react and didn’t do enough to block Fletcher, put him off, or even get in front of him to win the header.
Sometimes it’s the small details that really shouldn’t happen at any decent level of football, but do all the time, that cost a team. Unfortunately, with Naby’s confidence low already, his self doubting too much and with that knocks his ability when playing. Whether he gets stick during the game or not, he is struggling himself and I think it’s now more than previous times, we need to show him support.

vff

Trouble is that every game he makes at least one mistake that can cost a goal. He gave the ball away a lot early on and got caught out of position. He is a tall bloke but useless in the air. The ease with which the Wednesday player got the first goal was embarrassing. Sarr did improve second half, especially the passing but Charlton can surely get in a more reliable defender - apologies Naby. 

bolloxbolder

Sorry but no. Sarr, Page, Kayal, Aneke and Hemed are a drain on our club and must go asap. The time for niceties is over.

Sarr gets the support in the ground but off it he deserves the criticism as he is letting the manager the fans and the players down. He has not learnt from previous mistakes. Sorry but I was at the end of my teather after Millwall and his pathetic efforts this week has finished me off. Pretty sure Bowyer feels the same way and I look forward to his departure asap.
