    Quite excited with this, given the start he's had at Cardiff...

    Talk about going one extreme to the other. Bowyers post match interviews in the last 2 months to these daily videos, only at charlton could that be the case!

    We probably don't deserve Him!
    Has he got a gig at Bromley Addicks yet?
    I’m hearing Bromley Addicks have drawn up a three year exclusivity appearance contract (with a further two year option), which he is due to sign early next week at Sparrows Lane. 👌
    Sorry I can’t disclose my source, other than to say he is a regular poster on here living in the Maidstone area and has a Border Collie named Buddy.

    Always sensed me and Nige had a lot in common, and now it turns out we both have ‘grab an oar’ as one of our sayings.

    He is sooooo upbeat and positive. 

    If he is WFH today are the players off?

    "He allowed you to feel on top of the world but also allowed you to make mistakes. He takes the pressure off you. 

    He knew what he needed to say in the dressing room.

    He never brought in players who thought they were bigger than what they were or had a bad attitude.

    He flips it when he is asked about the fact other clubs have played fewer games and talks about them having to play catch-up and the effects of fatigue or picking up injuries.

    That is where he is so clever – to be able to spin a negative into a positive."

    We've hired a Lee Bowyer clone!


  • I do not remember this Paul Hayes fella one bit, and I went to a bunch of games that season. Googled him and don't recognise him there either?! Is this just me? Did he play a lot?!

    Guess it'll be a theme we'll see from him after Sat | Tue games given the players faced Brentford yesterday

    He made 19 appearances in SCP's League 1 winning side (started a dozen of them). Was cover up top.

    surely no one is that upbeat and positive all of the time!

    seems like a top fella though

    Was really unlucky to lose his place, I don't think anyone knew quite how good Yann would be, and is a top guy as well.

    he was good player, but Yann took us from a playoffs team to the Champions of that division.

    We played some really nice stuff when he was up top too, Yann was obviously the better player and it was the right call, but we lumped.it up to Yann more.

    Not much praise for Powell from Hayes on his former managers.
