Is he much a of a ball-player? The style of play BG wants doesn't really suit Inniss or Lavelle but it does suit O'Connell. Would be handy if TT was more of a ball playing CB than the other two.

Looks more of a ball player than Lavelle and Inniss going off that first YouTube video I posted, but of course that’s highlighting his best moments.

You could probably make a clip of Famewo not launching the ball into touch for 30 seconds. Okay, maybe 10.

I'm happy to see him back and hopefully he will be a success. IMO better than a loan.

How exciting! Sorry Terrell

grumpyaddick

Hooray!

This makes up for the deadline day disaster .

Now, who is the striker who scores goals who has been training with us for three weeks?

cafcfan

I recall from his yoof days with us that he was a decent player. I have a sneaky feeling he will do well. (I just hope he still walks like Jar Jar Binks.)

Stockley, I hope!

Have we ever had anyone with the name Mondasia before ? Doubt it.

Just looked it up and the closest I could get is this :-

Mondasians: also called Mondans or, especially among themselves, simply humans that were the natives of the planet Mondas who eventually created the technology that gave rise to the subspecies known as Cybermen.

Should add a bit of grit to the defence.

You definitely have too much time on your hands. 

Lincsaddick

good, he's been around a few clubs, only really settled at the Wombles .. he's a big no nonsense defender, just what we need .. welcome back Terell

Lincsaddick

have a memory of this game .. Charlton Athletic 2-0 AFC Wimbledon - BBC Sport .. as I recall, Thomas had a good game defensively and carried the ball out of defence pretty well .. can't recall how he was pace wise, BUT we have a big hole to fill at left back, IF he is suitable, Mr Garner, put him straight in

Garner: "Terell also provides us with greater versatility in terms of our defensive structure."
Is that the first glimpse of BG conceding there's another way/shape to defend?
Or are my rose tinted specs especially rosy today?

We just need to bring back Dalek Stephens to play alongside him

Maybe we could be looking at a 3-4-3, to try sure up the defence and also get the wide forwards closer into Stockley?
               
               Wollacott
     Thomas-Innis-O'Connell
Clare-McGrandles-Fraser-Sessegnon
         JRS-Stockley-Kirk

What’s Dobbo done to offend you?

Ha ha, I knew leaving him out might promote some discussion.

He’s done nothing to offend me at all, but I think long term, if Garner really manages to implement his style then he will potentially lose his place to McGrandles (who as I’ve mentioned before I think Garner really rates).

I know for some reason that will be a controversial opinion among Charlton fans because of how good he has been for us. But that does not necessarily mean he will be under Garner moving forwards.

Chocolate mousse is very nice but to pour it on a person is demented!

Looks like one in the clips.

Check this clip of him against Almight....Charlton (us) from 0.38 secs. Look how crap our defending is, esp with Famewo having no clue what to do.

welcome Terrell - shame you're not a centre forward but not your fault - good luck 

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Good luck to him.

He's not hopelessly one footed, unlike so many

JamesSeed

Ever the optimist I know, but have a feeling he’ll do well when he gets his chance. He probably needs a match or two with the U21s first though. 

mendonca

Problem is we have filled our CB spots with 3 second choice CBs in my view, for different reasons. 

Oh Eddie Youds...

Think he’ll be no worse than our other centre backs.

Good luck Terell…the opportunity is very much there for you to claim a first team spot.

I remember running from our car , parked a few minutes from the ground, to Brentford's old stadium to watch a match against the Bees one evening.

It was either a Reserve Cup match or an U18 - sadly my memory fails me as it was  several years ago. But it wasn't just a run of the mill game.

We'd had a nightmare journey  across London from Dartford and barely made the start but as we were rushing through the turnstiles, we were hotly pursued by Terrell and, I believe, his Dad, on the same mission. 

We grinned at one another as if to say " Made it- just ! "

Lovely young man & thinking how pertinent it would be if he secured a regular place in our team.

Under 18 national cup final, We won 1-0. Konsa mom.

Thanks, bolloxbolder.
