Utter madness. 14 goals, a proper poacher, but as he doesn't chase every ball down his 'attitude' is wrong. Total shite, he will go on a goal rush soon then it will be back to another fall guy. I reckon Hollands is next, he is ' too slow in possession' surely?!

GET A GRIP!

    He's not at all. If anyone thinks he's a problem in our TOP of the league side then they don't know football.

    His dad was the same sort of player, he's not out there to do all the running about he is out there purely to score goals.

    So what if he's having a bad patch, you don't become a bad striker overnight!

    I just hope bringing him off early yesterday isn't a sign that he is on the move In this window. Surely not?

  • No one in the team is above constructive criticism he is out of salts and it needs discussing

    He isn't the problem at all, a great bit of defending prevented him getting a goal last night that other players couldn't. He'll get back in the groove sooner rather than later and last night the wrong game to judge him on.

    Wrong game for him with the side a man down, as he gets his goals by being like the extra man in the box

    Balls of an ox.


    He is terrible, worst striker in the league.

    He won't score again all the previous goals were lucky.
  • BWP as a person is not a problem. But to get promoted we need him to score goals and he isn't doing that at the moment. I'm picking up puzzlement and concern more than anything else.

    We have some stupid fans. That's the problem.
    Any other fans would kill to have BWP in their team but not us . We have idiots calling for him to be dropped .
    Unbelievable .

    It just seemed that he wasn't putting in as much effort yesterday as the rest of the team.

    This left Chris Solly have to deal with both their left winger and left back, as Wright-Phillips wasn't working hard enough on the right to help Solly out.

    Pritchard worked hard and tracked back, which contributed to us looking much better after the change was made.

    He (BWP) shouldn't have been left on and put in that position - he's a goalscorer (or not at the moment) not a water carrier!

    You have to do more than score goals in league one
  • I'd rather he didn't go chasing down every over-hit through ball, just the ones he thinks he has a decent chance of winning. Why waste energy trying to flatten every blade of grass on the pitch? It looks good to the fans but is a massive waste of enerrgy. When you are down to ten men the idea should be to play things narrow, keep possession and not stretch the team out and get caught on the counter atack.

    Which is perhaps why I would have left Wagstaff on and subbed another player instead - maybe Jackson who isn't fully fit.

    Every player needs to be able to adapt their game when you go down to 10 men as early as we did yesterday.

    Don't remember all our previous top goalscorers lower down the leagues doing all the ugly stuff - Firmani, Leary, Killer, Mendonca or Hunt? Still perhaps the memory is fading.

    Jesus. reading this, I had to check that I wasn't on the wendy's site by mistake. We lose our 2nd game of the season and it's doom and gloom and frantic searching for the coveted scape-goat. Every striker goes through a period of a dry spell and this is his. I thought he looked okay last night, never gave up and was more involved than Kermogant, who (IMO) had a quiet game.
  • Not the kind of player you want on the pitch when your'e down to ten men. He's a poacher who comes alive when goal scoring opportunities present. Hopefully Powell learnt another lesson in his short managment career yesterday. Until now he has always learnt from previous mistakes, which is why he's going to be a great manager.

  • We do love to have a go at one of our 'own' at Charlton?
    No issues with people constructively commenting, but some of the comments have been way over the top.
    The guy is going through a tough period, some times it just does not happen.
    Remember Rooney last year, and Torres at present. 
    We are in the third tier of football, this guy is as good as it gets for us in this league.
    If you really think this guy is going to rush around chasing every ball down you are going to be dissapointed.
    A bad day at the office,  we need to steady the ship and support the team ,we are still top, and we have an opportunity in 24 hours time to regain the momentum.
    No I was not at the game, and saw it on the box. 
    This is where Chris Powell earns his money, I am sure Chris will rise to the opportunity.

    How long before the idiots start booing him?
    It doesn't seem that far away to me.
    Then you an kiss goodbye to the most natural goalscorer we have had since Darren Bent..

    There was even a couple who said sell him now.

    I just couldn't believe what I was reading, I honestly couldn't. We certainly do have some twats following us at times.

     

    Note I said 'following' us not supporting us...........there's a big difference of course!

    should have been a striker pulled first, otherwise the midfield would have still been over run

    He looks out of salts and needs a rest, IMHO. Have heard that he doesn't train too much because of an old injury so maybe that's the problem. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench for the Brentford match with Clarke and Kermo up front
  • Who said he is ''the problem''?  One or two people who enjoy being ''controversial'' - and then others rise to the bait by starting threads like this about it.   The 'controversialists' must be delighted. Ignore.
  • With a fully- fit Jackson, Stephens (his injury seemed to have restricted him in his last few games) and Green in midfield, BWP will get around 25 this season. our midfield has been depleted recently of creativity and BWP has been feeding off scrap.

    What do you mean rise to the bait............it's a discussion forum mate!

    Unfortunately we're not all as well informed, 'cool' and 'Captain Sensible' as your good self, that's what makes this place so interesting!

    How much do some of you know about playing football. We were a man down after four minutes and Orient were tactically aware enough that the way to take advantage was to up the tempo and stretch the game by switching across the back constantly. With Yann dropping deeper this left BWP impossible situation. He either chased everything down and be knackered by half time or bided his time so that he could still be effective if he was able to latch onto a ball. That was the exactly way HE should have played. The tactics of who were left on to do the chasing were wrong and that is only down to CP.
