He got pelters from quite a few who had put 2 + 2 together and got 5, so why shouldn’t the criticism be reversed when a good job has been done?
Just putting the question out there…
He hasn't signed a left back and left his son there as 2nd choice.

He's the second choice LB.
We're playing RBs instead because he's so poor.7 -

Think we need to worry if Purrington and Gunter suddenly go down with food poisoning after a meal round chez Roddy5

The Jacob Roddy situation is awkward though, whether by design or accident. The club signing an 18 year old is no big deal, but that not only do we have no senior LBs at the moment (Purrington injured, Gunter a RB covering and unavailable last night anyway) there are also no existing LBs in the U23 squad, so young Roddy has managed to play 2 cup games already as the next player in line, which is more than many older academy players have managed, and indeed managed in their entire Charlton career.
I have no problem with Jacob being signed, BUT you do wonder whether consciously or subconsciously the presence of Ged influenced the decision not to sign any other more senior LBs to the academy this summer (say a 19 or 20 year old), such as someone from non league or a player released from one of the other academies.4 -

Needs to be loaned out to a non league side but his dad has made sure we cant afford to do that.1 - Sponsored links:

Is it possible that Roddy may have "subtly hinted" to Avory etc that he happens to have a son who plays left back? Yeah, that's possible. But I don't see how either of them benefit from Jr being forced into the first team before he's ready. If anything it's detrimental as it flaunts the familial link bit also makes it less likely that Jr will get another contract if his ineptitude is on display regularly.1 -
Not too shoddy Roddy!
There you go, feel better everyone?0 -

So the second choice "left back" is Roddy. He just doesn't get played over the right backs because he's poor.3 -

If Gunter and Purrington were both unavailable Roddy wouldn't start. If all 3 senior full backs were injured I suspect Roddy wouldn't start.
The real question is was the u18 left back released so we could sign Roddy or did we sign Roddy because we had no other academy player in that position.4 -

Something stopped us moving for a loan or purchase for a left-back.2 -

Not signing one on loan when Purrington 1st got injured was wrong but it hasn't resulted in Jacob playing in the league has it?
If he was playing in the league I could buy it, or getting the 2 minutes like Frank Lampard did to get his bonus at westham.
It's one thing to get a gig in the u23s, its still not right though, but it's another to suggest he is completely undermining the first team squad just on the off chance we have no choice but to play him.2 -

Roddy isn't that far off, seeing that he's played two cup games and been on the bench for a league game
They could have played Matthews at LB yesterday as one of the four? regular players, but chose not to1 -

We have one full back injured currently. Hopefully Ben will be back ASAP.Even if we had two full backs out for whatever reason, I suspect we’d have Clare fill in at right back for a game or two and the one available full back (BP/AM/CG) on the left side.
Not ideal and still think that attack minded left back to compliment Kirk is the final missing piece but I hope we’ll be able to address it in January.1 -
Avery, Gallen & Co. must have been put in a very uncomfortable situation when Ged recommended his son. What were they supposed to do... tell their new boss that his boy is not good enough...
It wouldn't be a very good start to their working relationship. And they're only human.
Surely if Jacob was good enough, with all Ged's footballing academy connections, he wouldn't have been playing for a school.1 -
