Come in No. 20?

He needs to be retrained as a centre midfielder playing a Kashi style role. That's his best hope of remaining relevant in this team now.2

I actually like the idea of seeing him as a holding midfielder.
If I'm building a team for Charltons level then I would still want Chris Solly in it. As said above, he is the least of our problems.2 -
My favourite player by a country mile for years at Charlton. Literally given his career to us. We paid him shit for years, he got a terrible injury before ever even playing for us and came back flying through tackles.
I worry I have not seen a trade mark Sollyesq tackle from him all season. Manager after manager in recent years over play him by not having cover, it is a criminal mismanagement of his injury IMO.
Would never say a bad word about the bloke.
Wasn’t there today, but our squad should not be where it is in the division and that is not Solly’s fault. There are 10’s of players in recent years where if they had a modicum of Sollys desire we would not be where we are now.8 -
Feel for him. Like JJ he should be held in the up most esteem for both what he’s done for the club and what a talent he is. Make no mistake, had it not been for the injuries he would’ve been playing at a higher level
He’s definitely not captain material6 -
Legend but not a captain. Also noticed at both goals conceded Amos said fuck all to his defenders, shouldn't a keeper be bollocking his defenders for not doing their jobs?0

Redlanered and I have been saying fir weeks that Solly just doesn’t cut it anymore. I don’t know the cause but something must be done.
Angry of Sydenham0 -
Solly as we all know has a knee problem,he is too young to be written off,but cllearly he needs to be managed,he could probably do 25-30 games at top level but 35-40 is too much.0

What a fabulous player he was......dare I say it, he was quite possibly on his way to the very top of the ladder at one stage.
Also a very pleasant and unassuming individual who without question deserved a better roll of the dice.
Quite what will happen with him now is anyone’s guess.
It goes without saying that all Addicks wish him well.1 -
I said he has no cartilage left and that was some years ago and this information was garnered from attending various Charlton meetings.PragueAddick said:How old is he now? 27-28? he should be at his peak. Quite clearly physically he is not. Wasn't it the case that he only didn't sign for West Ham because he failed a medical? I can't remember where I heard it but someone told me he has no cartliage left after all the ops. I worry that it's catching up with him now, and I hope he isn't storing up problems for himself in later years by continuing to play now. I hate that this thread exists, but I am afraid it has every reason to exist.
It's apparent to nearly all Charlton fans that Solly is much slower than he used to be and he can't turn very easily, obviously both due to his knees. Solly used to be our POTY and best performing player most games like Da Silva is now.
These days he's not really good enough, but we don't have a guaranteed better back up, although I'd prefer Konsa or Djiksteel.0 -

We had a spell where he played there - the general concencious was it didn’t work.cafctom said:I actually like the idea of seeing him as a holding midfielder.

I personally wouldn’t write Solly off just yet, but it’s a pretty safe bet to say he is in decline now and his betters days are long gone. Shame he won’t have played in the premier league by the time he hangs up his boots - knee problems aside, he was certainly good enough a few years ago.

Is RCC still injured? Pretty sure he played RB for youth and out on loan.0
