So DJ is seemingly 5th choice wide forward, and for good reason. Wonder if he'll be considered surplus to requirements?
Kirk has had one good game, and CBT is an injury risk. Why the desire to write DJ off? He's versatile, has good attributes for this style of football. Will be needed sooner rather than later
Dont think Balham is writing DJ off...
But it is clear that in four games; Kirk has started three of them, DJ just the one in the League - Kirk | CBT | Leaburn have all appeared in more games, whilst Rak-Sakyi hasn't joined to be so far down the pecking order
Kirk and DJ have different assets - kirk's appear to be picking out the right pass and putting good crosses in - he doesn't seem to have blistering pace or want to take his man on - DJ can take his man on much better (some of the time), is physically stronger but rarely delivers a good cross - DJ can't finish and maybe Kirk can although he's not really shown it since he's been here - Rak Saki looks like he can do it all !!
An OK side, harshly reduced to 10 men, was put to the sword and we witnessed a goal of the season contender, all good fun at the time. But the silver lining of last night's outcome comes with its own big, dark cloud: Goals came from across the team - Skintgaard will use that as justification for no backup for Stockers - Miles Leaburn is great to watch but he's 18 FFS and has 5 appearances total i.e. not shoulders onto which the burden of being lone striker at least until January should sensibly be put Kirk's name appears in the stats as goal scorer and assist provider but his goal deflected in off a defender and nobody saw a goal coming from that pass to Clare, that worldy was all Sean's own work. Last night was Kirk's best showing but that is the feintest of feint praise, there are to date no other performances worthy of the name Charles Clayden might be 21 but he has just 5 league appearances to date, is that realistically sufficient backup to Sessegnon as our only other leftback of any kind? Sean Clare was excellent last night but he's all we've got at right back. Jack Payne was a headless chicken and gave away the goal. McGrandles has been awful so far. O'Connell is the slowest CH I've seen play for Charlton. Fraser can't last 90 minutes. Chuks and Inniss are made of glass.
We're an injury and a suspension away from not having an adequate squad. Saturday's decline against Wednesday is a way more likely template than last night's one off.
The owner's illegally sacking valuable staff to penny pinch a few thousand in favour of stoopid free drink promos - he ain't gonna be coming up with the fees or salaries for adequate cover for the blatantly thin patches in this squad. It hangs on wishes and lots of luck...
Not a harsh sending off at all - he tried to handle the original cross then deliberately handled the shot. If Danny Mills could get sent off at Ipswich for intent when he didn't touch the cheating bastard who pretended to have had his leg taken off at the knee, that No. 5 should have been sent off twice.

Give the negative a rest mate. We played well endof. Been following the club since 1986 and this was one off the best and complete team performances I have ever soon. Why all the negative after a 5-1? Was you at the same game as everyone else? I am still buzzing and can't wait until Saturday. I haven't felt like that for ages. Hate these moaners even after a win like that? Either join the "ride" or get of the bus and go support Millwall or something.
You telling other fans to basically fuck off and support another club is more a negative. He is entitled to his view and to make his point on a forum even if it doesn't sit well with you.
The crowd was low, someone has already suggested less a figure in reality than stated by the club. The club needs more revenue as stated by TS so telling other fans to support other teams is 'negative'.
Couldn't agree more. Those with this attitude are basically happy the club does not grow as it has to attract more critical supporters beyond the ultra loyal ones. Identifying problems if they are real is how you improve things.

I like DJ but as a squad player.
