To be fair to him every time he gets even vaguely physical the ref gives a foul the other way.

Exactly the same as when we had Chris Iwelumo... So frustrating from Referees!!

I used to think the same with Chris Iwelumo. The refs constantly used to give fouls against him as well, when I could see nothing wrong.

Ha. I hadn't seen the above, when I posted, so it must be true !

Two goals tonight at Bournemouth

JaShea99

Hat trick. I'm speechless. Was it just us??

Chris_from_Sidcup

Must just be one of those nights. As far as i'm aware he's not been starting in their league games so it's not as if he's been in great form

cantersaddick

I'm sure this belongs in the jokes thread!

Pleased for him. Never liked the stick he took when here

ValleyGary

Not a fan of the stick but he was truly awful.

The Prince-e-Paul

Has he shaved all his hair off? Always felt he put in a shift but the team werent a team set up to utilise his skills (or anyone elses).

cafcsinger

The cheering when he won a header was very poor IMO, but you know he was shite. Donkey.

Who knows but one thing is for sure his missus is in for one hell of a night....

Can't be that shite. He has just scored a hat-trick against an FAPL team.

Dunno whether Francis was playing or not for Bournemouth, but they both show a section of our support up as a right bunch of knobheads.

Agree with this. Stupid to boo him, but Christ, he was shite.

Scoham

Doubt he'll be scoring all season but he was always capable of getting a few goals with good service.

You don't get the best out of a player with no experience of English football by playing him alongside others in the same situation, as well as several youngsters that aren't proven and/or consistent. Throw in an unproven head coach and assistant and what chance do any of them have?

It's not surprising that a number of players have left for a higher division. We had some good individuals but as a club we didn't have the management and squad to give them a chance of having any real success.

Chippycafc

Maybe they did what we wernt able too. I. E put in some decent crosses.

Bournemouth Addick

There's something I thought I'd never see in the flesh. Played really well tonight against a strong(ish) Bournemouth side, no Francis tonight @PragueAddick btw but he has been excellent whenever I've seen him for Bournemouth. Mak gave a real target man performance for PNE, caused their centre halfs problems throughout and put in a massive shift. Even did a bit of Tony Watt in the corner right at the end. Not a great game tbf but Preston were good for their win in the end.

Callumcafc

Another confidence player we ruined. Thought he had the potential to be effective in the right set-up.

Ormiston_Addick

Obviously a decent player - showed at Rotherham away last season what he was capable of.

Sadly the clusterfuck administration of the club and the clown-shoe brigade coaching meant we ruined him - and then the neanderthal brigade jumped on his back as well.

Just because a bloke is 6' 5" doesn't mean he'll be strong in the air, Peter Crouch isn't dominant in the air either, he wins his share but is not actually that good of a header, certainly not compared to someone like Duncan Ferguson or Andy Carroll.

Makienok needed balls to feet and chest and then to link the play but what did he get? Aimless punts forward twenty foot over his head whilst Tony Watt adopted the teapot pose on the halfway line.

A real shame.

RugbyAddick

Can't stand him now. That late equaliser stopped me from winning £850.

Not surprising that two of his goals were headers.

The fact is, a large section of our support are dickheads who don't recognise what the problem actually is and instead they blame the player.

We were never set up in a way to get the best out of him. Gudmundsson on one side cutting in and no winger on the left, where were the crosses ever coming from? Not to mention the amount of hoofed balls up to him without any single Charlton player near him was embarrassing.

Add to the fact that others have said about players in the same situation or young and inexperienced players and coaches. We were doomed. And we all know who's fault that is.

They may actually use his strengths, stick crosses into the box and get players closer to him. By doing that, he's a good, effective player.

I wish him well and am happy to see him not only be the match winner, but score a hat trick against a Premier League side.

Simon all over SkySportsNews tonight.
Charlton not featuring at all.
He's the one laughing on the other side of his face!

Your point about JBG is spot on.

This'll happen with Ajose I reckon.

Games like Ipswich at home when he didn't try at all did him no favours . I don't advocate booing our players and ironic cheering but without doubt he had about 3 good games for us ; 2 of them in August

Addick Addict

Perhaps the other thing to bear in mind is that, like Igor, there were times when he was asked to play when carrying an injury.

- Hat-trick against a PL side
- On SSN
- gets to go home and score a hat-trick of his own with his actress wife:



But solace for us is we can belch on a forum about what a donkey he was for us. So needless to say we have the last laugh.

Amazing what 'Photoshop can do. I bumped into them at half time last season (Home to Fulham) and she had a bigger tash than Freddie Mercury!

vff

Last season's team / squad weakness (apart from a pile of players, mistakenly picked from Thomas Drieson's stats model that didn't appear to take account of the fact that a pass rate in a European second division / reserve game does not equate with a pass rate in a competitive championship game) was a lack of wingers. Duchatelet did not want to put his hand in his pocket for Karl Henry or Bulot. Makienok needed decent wingers to create opportunities and that was seriously lacking in Charlton's team. Whilst not the best footballer in the world, the team set up didn't favour Makienok.

Big Mac was never my cup of tea, to many poor performances between good ones, but good luck to him.
