As everyone else has said, solid signing. You can tell he's a good character and wants to be here, combine that with his solid performances every week and that's all I want from a Charlton player. Welcome back Ben.

Loved the little announcement from Naby
Agree with this solid 7 out of 10 without being spectacular
Good signing. We'll want a solid defender in the Championship and Ben is that. Page can't be trusted to stay fit so we need another genuine first choice option there, which we so rarely have. Need to get in another striker and pad the midfield next
Joe Mattock is the Rotherham first choice Left-Back, couldnt cut it at the Championship last season with them
Ben Purrington is their second choice, just won promotion from League One, didnt really get a chance to prove himself in the Championshp
Rotherham could easily have just moved on their better player
Although imagine its a bit like the issue we had with Elliott and Randolph in goal
I wouldn't say Joe Mattock couldn't cut it in the Championship, Forever.
He's got a number of England U21 caps ....... plus has made more than 250 Championship appearances, including 45 last season.
He's evidently a good player. He's certainly denied Ben Purrington his chance at Rotherham. That doesn't necessarily mean they didn't rate Purrington.
Maybe just a case of Joe Mattock is a better fit within the Rotherham team playing system?
Certainly got experience
What I meant sorry was that Mattock could be a bit like Solly where his experience is stopping Purrington from having opportunities
Rotherham twitter account is certainly mixed over Mattock being LB over Purrington leaving
Forever ..... this is what Joe Mattock's manager thinks of him:
"He's been unbelievable this year. He's one of the unsung heroes. He's someone I'd like to keep at the club forever and a day really.
"He's been fit for virtually every game this season and has been really reliable. I don't want to go back to romantic times and Paul Hurst and all that, but I think if you have a left-back who always does exactly what you want him to do, then you're on to something good."
If that's what his manager says, I think it's simply a case that Mattock is the first name on the Rotherham teamsheet.

Ben Purrington must have known that.
Rotherham had great team spirit last season too, I imagine they want to keep that core of players together and Purrington wasn't there really

One of the Wembley heroes returns.
Fanny's purrrrring now ....
Really didnt expect him to return, especially when Paul Warne said there were a few clubs interested in him a few days ago

I agree with AFKA, Ben starts at left back, unless Page is showing more in the next 5 weeks.
