One Charlton highlight at the very end! But yeah that's besides the point, completely agreed. Such a shame it didn't work out.ForeverAddickted said:Not one Charlton highlight in there, even though he has scored for us... I mean that jinxing run and goal in the video highlights, where the hell has that version of him gone?
Never seen him try and take on a Full-Back like that for us0 -
Winger? Was he really? He couldn't take on a man, didn't defend and the only thing he had in him was a cross and occasional goal.0
-
A very very obvious and simple player. Shame not perm.1
-
Never seemed particularly committed to the cause, which is pretty damning.
The type of player I’ll forget even turned out for us in about two years time.
How many of them have passed through the door in the last ten years or so!? Shocking2 -
He can play football but never settled here and if he was that good Blackpool would have taken up the option. We will struggle to get a fee for him.0

I'm assuming we will eventually sell Lavelle and Kirk on a BOGOF basis.2

I wonder whether we will get a bonus payment if Burton stay up.1

To lift then out of the relegation zone... after they'd just let in an equaliser on 90+4!Fortune 82nd Minute said:Scored the winner today 6 minutes into injury time!1 -
Burton stay up, and offer a decent transfer fee for kirk would be ideal4
-
I’d take a packet of fags and a pint of Stella if it meant I didn’t have to see him mincing around in a Charlton shirt again. The pigeon’s got closer to tackling the opponent players than he did.19addickted96 said:Burton stay up, and offer a decent transfer fee for kirk would be ideal7 -
Hope he does well and gets some belief back.
Who knows if we'll ever see him in Charlton red again but he's been through a difficult 12-18 months in his life and deserves a spell of things going his way.

1000% agree with this , he deserves something to go right for him. Go and get a consistent run of games at Burton and see what happens in the summer.1 -
On the bench today. Oshaja and MacGillvray both start for anyone that gives a fig3

I think he was on the bench last week, came on and scored an injury time winnerCafc43v3r said:On the bench today. Oshaja and MacGillvray both start for anyone that gives a fig2 -
Came on after 11 minutes.0

Is he off this window, do we reckon?
As I've said elsewhere, I do wonder if Holden's willing to hear out the case for Kirk, Number Ten. He's no JRS, but with Leaburn injured we're looking for forward options, and while you wouldn't call him a lethal finisher, it's possible he could play a fine support role PROVIDED THAT we have midfielders willing to run into the box (Fraser is, sort of, but we need more than that)1 -

Charlie ‘why take one or two quick fire touches when you have the skill to take half a dozen at a time before getting nowhere’ Kirk?1
-
I wont be surprised either - He looked heavily involved in last nights training video
Some nice one touches as well... But the formation isnt going to work, unless we play 4-3-30 -
Against the masses of Kirk haters... I actually think he has something to offer - played in the right position. Last season he was mainly played out wide and it didn't work. On one home game (can't remember which) he was moved more inside and was much more effective. He has a good footballing brain and a good touch and was responsible for quite a few assists before being loaned out. Unless we can sign "better" then I think he still has a role to play. Cue the LOLs.9

Kirk behind May and Leaburn or whoever's Leaburn's injury replacement, was my thinking. 4-3-3 as FA says (or I suppose 3-4-3)Cafc43v3r said:

Holden started off liking a 352 with Payne as the 10, Kirk could possibly fill in there but I reckon he isn't a Holden type player, not scrappy enough. Plus he wants to go by all accounts so we should probably let him

Like, here's what I'd say might be our best CURRENT team (with May):
May Leaburn/Kanu
Kirk
CBT Fraser Dobbo Egbo
Ness Hector Lloyd
Isted-Brewer3 -
He only works wide left with an aggressive wing back to support him. He'll only work well in a 10 with one striker dropping deep and the other making a run behind to offer options, with willing runners from deeper midfield also helping out.
He's the very definition of a luxury player, and used well will be effective. But I don't fancy the thought of us building the way we play all around Charlie Kirk4 -

He's not the first player we've bought who did not suit our style of play at the time.
Even the great Jimmy Seed admitted he made a bad mistake when buying Tommy Brown from Millwall for a then club record fee.
I think we'll soon find out if Holden thinks he can utilise Kirk's talents because if not he will be gone.2 -
I arrived at the valley early and no family or buddy there to get on my soap box so I thought I would study the team warming up.
Charlie Kirk went down after minimal contact from Pearce in the one touch practice. The impression then and during games was that Charlie was lightweight. Came with a reputation for being decent when having a wing back or attacking full back(Pickering)outside him where he could either feed or use as a decoy.
Kirk is like the jigsaw piece that despite trying, you just can't fit in.
Shame but it happens at every club and unfortunately its the player that received the longest contract 🤷🏻♂️0
