Pratley first turned up to a bit of a shrug from me, but his seductive nature means I now love him. (I thought he got a tune out of the relatively inexperienced ref in the second half on Saturday too, Ben Watson needs to attend a few sessions of 'how to mix it and avoid a yellow card' led by Darren.)
Nobody on here should doubt what Darren Pratley brings to the team after his performance at Wembley last year when we were struggling to get a foothold in the game. His leadership and the experience of playing over 500 league and cup games and scoring 56 goals, (not all in driving rain and strong winds) served us well at Northampton and will continue to do so this season.

If we could have a team of one of our players, which would be the best team? I think a team of Maatsen would be fairly handy. A team of Famewo could work. But they're both loan players. A team of Doughty? A team of Maddison?
A team of Pratley would be one of the better ones, I have to admit. Purely as he can defend and make a nuisance of himself upfield. But it would be properly, almost impressively horrific to watch

Almost exactly right Leuth. Not sure a team of Pratleys would be horrific to watch but - a properly balanced team taking into account the opposition and conditions are what football managers are paid to do. L.B. rarely gets it wrong and has said in the past when he has got it wrong. We are all entitled to our opinions and many of us have been proved wrong in the past and will continue to do so in the future. That's why Lee Bowyer is the successful manager he is and we are just supporters all with may and varied views.

Watch Pratley when there is a break in play, and you will see a guy who has played 500+ games encouraging and communicating with his team mates.
I was underwhelmed when he joined, but his game at Fulham away last season made me change my mind. He may not be Proper Charlton (yet) - but he is deffo a Proper Footballer.

Watson and Pratley, will on occasions rotate as this is going to be a real slog of a season (Pratley's words)
Two years ago, Pratley appeared to be a bit part player for CAFC. Now we should realize he is the glue, on and off the pitch.
Let's stick together on this.
