Purrington is a solid full back. Personally I think we should be playing Doughty as a wing back, but I think it is good to have a player like Purrington in the squad.
Horses for courses, Muttley, eh? But Doughty as wingback has got lots of holes in his defending, at times leaving us exposed.
Purrington is well capable in a conventional back 4, but wingback he ain't.
Bowyer likes attacking fullbacks, to get forward and provide the thrust and width to his narrow midfields. Purrington is not naturally that either.
First rule of a defender: defend.
He's LB, a defender and decent at defending. But Bowyer wants more from his fullbacks than that. Unfortunately for Ben.

Totally agree, but if there is a league where you should prioritise attacking over defending, this is it. You put league one defenders under the right sort of pressure, they will concede.

Yep, often they will.
But you need to make sure the back door is properly closed behind you. Or you will concede easily on the counter, as we did recently against Doncaster.
Wasn't there another centre half, Connelly, with a link to QPR mentioned? Where is he now?
Who was the centre half @Cafc43v3r said we were paying a fee for?
Koiki played for the U23s. Said he turned down Burnley as wanted first team football but now Gunter has been signed in his position? Will we still want him and will he still want to join?
Bowyer said he wanted five (?) more when Gunter signed. Bogle has since joined so that leaves four.
One of whom will be a striker, we presume, as Bowyer said he wanted to bring in two more forwards when Bonne was sold.
Koiki’s a left back so would be competition Purrington.
I guessed Connolly when trying to work out who the CB we were supposed to be signing was (it was Lynch), was he ever linked with us?
If you were a left back that didn’t usurp Purrington, you’d probably retire
Shame you didn't make the Wembley play off Final or saw his steady Eddie performances last time we were in League 1.
Unfortunately Page could never be fit for Cafc.
If you want to be so patronising, I saw Purrington score a goal in that exceptional league one side we had in the playoff final (he and Parker were the dross that we could afford to carry with 9 other players that easily would hold their own in the championship or better ) and I saw almost every dogshit display he put in last season; it was pretty clear Bowyer agreed that he wasn’t very good by hardly using him from January onwards and I hope we can get someone better in shortly .
Purrington bashing, eh?
I agree it was a rough old season for him last year: injury early on, pressed back into the team before he was properly fit because there was no one else, exposed and doubled up on - and then complete loss of his self-confidence and Bowyer hooked him after 30 mins.
But in the New Year, Bowyer often chose to play 3 CBs at the back, no room for a conventional back 4 LB - plus Purrington's no wingback, as everybody knows. Different gameplan, formation, tactics.
Before Purrington was signed on loan, we had Lewis Page again lost to injury and no specialist LB, and it showed - no shape to the back 4 and shipping goals. Ben came in and in Bowyer's words, "steadied the ship". During the terrific run in the last 12 fixtures that promotion season, we lost only 1 game, the game that an ill Purrington missed and Solly got himself sent off.
Purrington was so bad that he reclaimed his position immediately, we finished 3rd, won the playoffs and he scored a vital Wembley equaliser. And so bad that afterwards Bowyer signed him on a permanent contract.
League One may well be his level. But that doesn't make him a bad player.
Yes, Purrington bashing . Why? Because he can’t jump, can’t pass forwards , can’t defend , has no pace . I could go on ..
I shall go on .. if he were right footed, he wouldn’t be a pro !
I like stats, so put a comparison together bogle vs taylor vs bonne
What have I learnt?
1. Bogle's record in the championship is poor..... likely brought in get us out of League One? 1 year contract suggests so
2. Ratio goals to games is better for all players that are established and play many games in an individual league, usually playing for 1 side (which makes sense as teams build around them). Bogle has not even played 1/2 seasons worth of games in League one, so we need to give him a chance to show us what he can do. Player with the best ratio for that league highlighted in yellow.
3. Bonne and Bogle have a near identical record at National league level. Is Bogle the new Bonne? The type of goals he scores (relatively spectacular and individual) suggests not.
4. Despite Taylors lack of goals this season, he still has the best ratio in the championship of the 3 players. 5. Taylor was pretty consistent in Champ, League One, League two (unfortunately < 3.0 games per goal) 6. Other than a short spell in League Two, Bonne has a pretty consistent record (around 3.0 games per goal) across all the leagues he has played in, which is why he may have been worth keeping hold of. 7. All players, when looking at total games to goals, are roughly equal. This is an inconsistent stat though as the games were played at varying level so I don't pay it a lot of attention. Bonne for example, played nearly half the games counted in the National League.
Overall, I am surprised by the limited number of games Bogle has played in total ( I excluded his stint in Holland but was only a handful anyway). He needs a run of games and to stay injury free and there is every chance we could have a goal scorer equivalent to at least Bonne, but his total number of games suggest he might succumb to the Charlton curse and be injured.

Don’t get the abuse Purrington gets. He’s a steady eddy and not going to set the world on fire. Yes I can blame Him for the late Hull winner last season but forever grateful for the terrific goal at Wembley. I hope our players don’t read this forum
Just spoke to one of the guys on shift tonight who is a pompey fan. He said he liked him but he only really made substitute appearances under Kenny jacket and was primarily used as a wide man there. He felt Jacket never utilised him enough.

You just know that Bowyer will play him through the middle, but allow him to drift out wide creating movement and space ..... like he wanted from Grant, Taylor, Leko and Green.

I’d we need to censor our own discussions, we shut the forum down, surely ?
Football fans in 2020: Just Wikipedia’d this striker Dennis Bergkamp some older football fans kept banging on about, terrible scoring record, dunno what all the fuss was about.
In this extreme hypothetical, the point is that we don't have an Ian Wright, Anelka or Thierry Henry to score goals next to him, or Pires/Ljungberg scoring many goals from midfield. Our main striker is going to have to be a pure goalscorer.
Would you back any of our non strikers other than Maddison to get more than 10?
I actually think Bogle is a decent signing on a free, I just think it now looks ridiculous people being happy that Bonne was going thinking we were going to get 2 better options, this is the reality of where we are at. Bogle would be a good compliment to a Bonne, but his past history suggests we can't be hanging our hopes on him, Aneke or Washington scoring many goals
He looks to have something about him and think he can add to our squad, but it seems like an U21 loan is going to have to be our top scorer if we are going to be successful this year with the wage cap restraints now, and that is a huge gamble
No U21 loanee striker will score us 20 goals.......they'll be lucky to get half that amount.
About the only player to do that over the past 20 years is......Defoe, when he went on loan to Bournemouth.
************* How many players have scored 20 plus a season since 2000?
For us....Not many. I'm not a stats man but I do know that the times we have got promoted (98, 2000, 2012, 2019) the top goalscorer had scored 20+. Mendonca was pipped for the Golden Boot by Phillips & Hunt won it. You don't get promoted with a striker getting 12 or 15. Unless you have 3 of them, and that's very rare.

Hopefully,between Bogle and Aneke,we can now hold the ball up better,this will obviously take the pressure off the defence and allow our wing backs and midfield to get more involved on the attacking side rather than comtinually running back to their own goal when the ball constantly gets lost up front.You will also now have Maddison sending over crosses better than anyone else has done for the last few seasons.This will also give players like Williams and Oz more opportunity to show what they can do with ball in the opposing third rather than being forced back all the time,personally think this has got the makings of a really good squad.

When you want to slag a player off, "dog shit" try not to be too precious yourself.
Purrington was the 6.5 player we needed at LB last time we were in League 1. In fact he was so important that when Solly was put there we struggled because unless you are two footed, Barness and Bowen from memory, it's a nightmare to play in a position where you need to tackle with your wrong foot.
Purrington started the Championship season well last season when we had the quality players like Cullen and Gallagher in midfield and Taylor up front. When we lost those players through injury and the Bastard decision by Chelsea (which was the kiss of death to our season) then Purrington along with all the players, looked like the Journey men and kids that they were.
Page would have been the LB in the championship over Purrington, just like Wiggins over Fox but injury meant that couldn't happen too often (in Lewis's case not at all)
Turner (2, 1 in his own net) Duffy, Mendonca (3, best hatrick ever in quality at the old stadium) Rufus, Purrington and Bauer. No one can deny the fantastic achievement of all of the above.
Despite the crude assessment of a LB professional footballer, he will quite rightly be in the Short list of our Wembley hero goalscorers.
I know most people look at how many goals a striker scores, but I prefer to see how many goals they are involved in. If he can score between 10-15 goals and assist in the same amount, I would be happy
So, now that the interviews are all done and out there, it's revealed that this desperate signing because of League One/salary cap was being persued when we were a Championship club.

The very people who are saying give Bogle a chance are the same folk who bollock our players after 15 minutes on the Match thread or at the ground.
Omar Bogle deserves a chance. He hasn't had a prolific season scoring goals recently But if he can emulate Matt Tees in being a good number 9 who was brilliant in the air and the sublime Clive Mendonca who scored the best ever Hat trick at Wembley in the sheer quality of the goals, then Omar will be the 3rd striker to have come from the Grimsby stable and been successful.
Ps. Rodney Green got injured and couldn't join Matt in being a success unfortunately.
Seriously mate don't hold your breath on that one
I know Bob, I do say some outrageous stuff when I'm on my soapbox !
Haha don't we all mate but Tees, Mendonca, Bogle all in the same sentence ??? That's going a bit far
Here’s my contribution to Omar. Welcome to The Addicks Omar. Looks like you have something to prove mate, we ALL hope it all works out for you and you become a Valley favourite. 🤞
There are very few goal scorers around these days. The goals are shared around a bit more.
If Bogle can hold the ball up, bring the other striker and attacking midfielders in to the game, whilst adding height at set pieces at both ends, he will be doing a great job.
We didn't have anyone capable of doing that from start to finish. If he can get 12-15 goals as well, he will be a success. We'll have to wait and see.
He could be the new Leaburn but with a few more goals in him. Super, Super Clive said Carl was the best strike partner he'd ever had.

Taylor was pretty consistent in Champ, League One, League two (unfortunately < 3.0 games per goal) 6. Other than a short spell in League Two, Bonne has a pretty consistent record (around 3.0 games per goal) across all the leagues he has played in, which is why he may have been worth keeping hold of. 7. All players, when looking at total games to goals, are roughly equal. This is an inconsistent stat though as the games were played at varying level so I don't pay it a lot of attention. Bonne for example, played nearly half the games counted in the National League.
Overall, I am surprised by the limited number of games Bogle has played in total ( I excluded his stint in Holland but was only a handful anyway). He needs a run of games and to stay injury free and there is every chance we could have a goal scorer equivalent to at least Bonne, but his total number of games suggest he might succumb to the Charlton curse and be injured.

Purrington is well capable in a conventional back 4, but wingback he ain't.
Bowyer likes attacking fullbacks, to get forward and provide the thrust and width to his narrow midfields.
Purrington is not naturally that either.
First rule of a defender: defend.
He's LB, a defender and decent at defending. But Bowyer wants more from his fullbacks than that.
Unfortunately for Ben.
But you need to make sure the back door is properly closed behind you. Or you will concede easily on the counter, as we did recently against Doncaster.
When you want to slag a player off, "dog shit" try not to be too precious yourself.
Purrington was the 6.5 player we needed at LB last time we were in League 1. In fact he was so important that when Solly was put there we struggled because unless you are two footed, Barness and Bowen from memory, it's a nightmare to play in a position where you need to tackle with your wrong foot.
Purrington started the Championship season well last season when we had the quality players like Cullen and Gallagher in midfield and Taylor up front. When we lost those players through injury and the Bastard decision by Chelsea (which was the kiss of death to our season) then Purrington along with all the players, looked like the Journey men and kids that they were.
Page would have been the LB in the championship over Purrington, just like Wiggins over Fox but injury meant that couldn't happen too often (in Lewis's case not at all)
Turner (2, 1 in his own net) Duffy, Mendonca (3, best hatrick ever in quality at the old stadium) Rufus, Purrington and Bauer. No one can deny the fantastic achievement of all of the above.
Despite the crude assessment of a LB professional footballer, he will quite rightly be in the Short list of our Wembley hero goalscorers.
That's going a bit far
