Thirty five years
ago, I worked for a specialist transport company in Stevenage. They
(and I) were very successful in drawing local support in Herts and
Beds. The directors sponsored Stevenage. Your truly used to support
their efforts, meanwhile making the pilgrimage to Selhurst to witness
the miracles of Lennie Lawrence. Much water under since. Fast forward
thirty five, what do we find? The “Red Hot” Sales machine, with
specs, hearing aid and false teeth……….with Charlton sitting
well behind Stevenage. How the mighty have fallen! Sic Transit
Gloria.
Ladapo, last chance saloon, been shit so far. Still no Jones, Wickham I assume injured, would like to see Taylor at some point. If the idea was getting Wickham in as a short term trial then at least it's confirming he's injury prone and we don't need another one of them.
rather than Wickham still being injury prone ..... it sounds to me like, after not playing for a year it was a high risk and predictable he'd straightaway pick up an injury niggle.
He probably needs to have a full pre-season.
Would you really want to take that risk at when there will be other options out there?
Poor ball from Ladapo to try and feed Dobson, probably the better option compared to trying to find Kanu, but could have done a lot better with the pass.
Weird team. I know Jones is a Christian but is he the saviour because his team selections are getting stranger & stranger.
What’s strange about it? Standard keeper, three CBs at CB, the same 4 across midfield and wingback as usual. The only thing that’s changed is instead of playing Anderson, who is very out of form, at the tip of the midfield he’s put Alfie there, where he’s done well before. Two strikers up front. It’s hardly a strange selection is it?

The strange thing is that Anderson's replacement, Ladapo, has been in even worse form.
