I was only thinking the other day that I am in my 56th year of supporting Charlton and in that time I have witnessed some bad times both on and off the field. However in all those years up until recently we always seemed to have a player that stood out, could turn a game, win it for us, send you home feeling good.
Yet this current crop of players don't have that, I don't even get the feeling they are playing for the club/shirt/badge some times, just going through the motions.
I know it will not change until we get a new owner, and even then there are no guarantee's, we could end up with another chancer running the club. But I do hope we manage to sign or unearth a player or two that excite, thrill and make the crowd proud of them come the final whistle.

Bonne has been handed this season's scapegoat mantle - all the ills of this woefully inadequate squad are laid at his door - that's the CL way0 -

As someone who was nowhere near good enough to play football at a professional level I don’t like criticising players in this way. Many on here would have criticised Miles’s father back in the day. It is amazing how Carl is now rightly remembered as a legend by many of the same people.2 -
I'd add 90% of the players we've had in the past 2 years to that list. Too many to add 😫0

Quicker than he looked and I cannot think of a player I've seen in all the years I've followed football with better chest control.
Thrown into the top tier at 17 or 18 and helped us survive 4 seasons there.3 -

I know I'll get shot down for this and I should start by saying that I do love George Dobson but he does remind me a bit of Jose Semedo. He's brilliant and stand out in a lower/mid table side but I'm not convinced he's the type of midfielder to get us out of this league.
When we moved on Semedo and got in Hollands and Stephens our midfield became so much more dynamic and effective. There's a reason that combination won this league. My big fear is that there are no players of the ilk of DH and DS that we could tempt to come here with the current car crash of a football club.5 - Sponsored links:

I didn’t realise that our record against bottom half sides was quite as bad as it actually is. It’s astounding… tweets from @ cafcowen below…
Five losses in a row / six losses in seven. Absolutely mad.1 -

Who we can attract depends the ownership situation. If we’re taken over and have some money to spend we could bring in players for a promotion push.2 -
Problem with Dobson is he's almost always covering his plus another position. Whether Clare has wandered out of position, or he's covering Kilkenny or Payne or Morgan or Fraser or Penney or a CB has wandered into midfield so again Dobbo has to cover.
It's no wonder he's looking creamed most of the time.
If we get in players that can play their own position and be disciplined in that, Dobson shines. He's shown it this and last season that he can be more than good enough consistently.

I am not suggesting he is a problem or we should "get rid" but I would be shocked if a top have Championship club came in for him in the summer.
It's a sad state of affairs when our best two players, one is on loan from Palace and the other wouldn't get in Millwall's team.0 -
George Dobson’s name should be nowhere near this thread, considering the long list of candidates to be discussed just from the last 10 years alone.6

Thuram is the standout for me. Remember watching him in the warmup and couldn't believe how shocking he was..0

Take your pick from any of that lot. Be a few contenders in the last 10 seasons

Think there is something with these players there, but only enough consistently for lower to mid table league 1. I don't think they have enough drive to play badly and win or put enough in. They may care, but you have to care more than the opposition You're up against and I don't think they do.1

I think Carl improved as a player 100 per cent by the early 90s . Prior to that I hoped Andy Jones or Garth Crooks ( and neither of them done much ) would partner Paul Williams when I saw the team sheet so wasn’t a big fan but good on him for the improvements made.

Yohann Thuram must have set a record the day we beat QPR 1-0 at The Valley.
The only goalkeeper in history to have one of the all time worst club performances in a game where he didn’t face a single shot on target and the team won. Remarkable really.0 -

All the above players within the first 300 to play for Charlton.
What we could do with one of them now.
All played on the wing or as a striker.
If the current players played like these we would have no problem.
Keep up the good work @shirty50 -
First 5 players on that list I saw play for Charlton.0
