    Going back to pre-season, given the choice of Green or Leko I would have taken Green every time - more first-team experience, more goals, more versatility. Can't understand some of the negativity about this signing. And I say this after Leko's done pretty well for us.

    I think, given our current circumstances, the negativity relates to his injury record rather than his footballing ability.

    'Do we need yet another crock' etc

    Bad news he's done his Metacarpal I the two bones in his Metacarpal III and his Metacarpal V is pretty bruised...  typical the medical team compounded it by shutting his injured hand in the door!

    Much more considered on the ball that's for sure. I liked what I saw from him, and interested to see how he develops.

    He looks about as good as we could possibly hope to get on loan. He played well. What did you expect?

    I like the first sentence. Leko was good. He certainly has more pace and tricky skills then Green. However Green (so far) seems to have better decision making skills, and certainly reads the game better.

    I thought Green looked very promising. Think he’ll play his part until the end of the year.

    Was only a tongue in cheek comment. I was, and still am, a big Leko fan. I’ve stuck up for him a few times on here when he’s been dug out

    Green looked good today and will improve. Well played Andre and welcome to Charlton.

    No worries i got that it was not serious. Id be surprised if Green scores more than Leko this season.

    Sounds like another player we will make 2x-3x as valuable as when he arrived. Frankly, we should start charging clubs for loans instead of paying for them.

    The cut back he done deserved a finish or effort at least, put it into exact area you'd want as a coach.

    Thought he looked good today. Can’t believe there wasn’t a card for that challenge on him towards the end.

    Pratley was waiting to shoot side footed... Just a shame there was a West Brom player between him and the ball

    He was very good today. Different to Leko. Prefers to play a bit deeper and run with the ball with a bit more space infront of him. He caused them problems. Impressed with him.

    Wind it in mate, you've got enough likes today, and I am not going to give you anymore even if I do agree with your post.

    Thanks to Bowyer, JJ and the rest of the coaching team, I think Gallen can bring in talent that does get better while here. 

    Which is why we are now thinking about perms because uh you know that’s how it works

    Can only echo this. Very pleased with Green today, was intelligent in his play and showed some very classy touches whilst beating his man on numerous occasions. He also got wiped out by the dirty Sawyers when it looked a very promising break.

    My girlfriend also made a good point today too, he’s the type of player that would work really well alongside Taylor.

    The boy looked pretty rapid. We should be pretty dangerous on the break with him, Doughty, and Williams in the team.

    I wouldn’t extrapolate too much from one performance but he did some good things today. Work rate was good and earned himself a booking sticking up for Gallagher near the end suggesting he’s buying into the tram spirit already.

    Thought he looked like one of the better attacking players on the pitch today. Let’s hope he’s fired up to bag a goal or two at Deepdale next weekend.

    Great tekkers as the kids say. V impressed with his close control and showed great  vision at times. We need to get on his wavelength and he needs match fitness - totally knackered at the end. Liked what I saw overall.

    Green looks more direct than Leko, Leko maybe has more skill but tends to dribble into dead ends. I can see Green creating a few chances if other players get into the box

    Don't you mean train spirit?

    Green is a class player that doesn't have to have his head down looking at the ball to see where it is.
    Therefore, he can see what's going on around him and make a pass accordingly.

    Leko runs with his head down and doesn't generally know who is available to pass to.

    Mind you, it doesn't mean that Green will do better for us than Leko.
