BWP V Church

I could be wrong ..

But it annoys me how we let go of BWP and he is replaced by church who hasn't been a blast , I would have loved to see BWP vs Church goal ration if Powell ha given BWP the chances church has granted church works harder but now I'm thinking we really should have kept hold of BWP and given him a better chance I honestly don't think church would have got as many L1 goals as BWP did

(I'm not a Simon church hater just trying to look where we went wrong )

    I was thinking this this other day. In the end I suppose it came down to money BWP was on more than Church I believe.

    BWP 1 goal in 19 games in the Championship. 0 goals in 2 games cup

    Church 3 goals in 20 games in the championship. 3 goals in 4 games cup

    So Church wins hands down.

    Neither are Championship quality. End of.

    Fuller and Haynes were on a different level to both.

    Apart from the fact he was rumoured to have had a bit of a disruptive spell behind the scenes last season, I think even at the end of the summer, if Powell knew how things were, he too would have chose BWP over church

    But BWP was on the bench far more then what church has been , church has started far more , you have to bare that in mind

    Ohh Did you hear what happened ? I'm completely in the dark as to what was rumoured to have happened I've never actually known ...

    Church v N'Guessen
    Church v Kandol
    Church v Sordell
    Church v BWP
    Church v Pigott
    Church v Akpo Sodje
    Church v Mooney

    Under no circumstances would my answer be Church.

    One was quick but could not cut it in the Championship.

    The other is slow and could not cut it in League 1.

    I'd say Church is quicker than BWP.

    Church runs and runs but doesn't appear to anticipate Yann's flick on's as BWP did. Both Church and BWP were not championship quality I'm afraid

    Got to disagree with you there. Even with dodgy knees
    BWP was quicker than Church.

    Wouldn't say there's much in it, if any. Church is not slow. He just can't shoot!

    Also, if you're BWP and had the choice of living in South London, sitting on the bench with a only chance of getting 20 minutes here and there and / or being loaned out to a League One side or moving to New York, playing every game up front with Thierry Henry. I'd be on the first flight out to New York.

    Sad to see Churchy being painted as a victim here when the fact is that he's starved of the through ball from the midfield... This is the crux of the problem, remember Fuller and Yann HAS to create their own chances due to this problem...

    Funny how Church was heralded as a great signing and was identified as one we wanted before that!
    He works so hard and I wonder if that affects his ability to anticipate and be in the right place at the right time?
    Loved BWP. Some called him lazy but I always have a fond spot for a player who you know could turn it on at any minute

    Personally prefer BWP, sure he did not set the world alight in the Championship but think he deserved more of a chance, of the 19 games, not all of those were starts. Church is not good enough for L1.

    Yann at the Eltham Addicks meeting seemed disappointed at the way things worked out.

    I don't remember anybody heralding Church as a great signing.
    I like his work rate and his endeavour but I'm not convinced he's ever going to score lots of goals .
