Most over-rated player for us in years. Made lack of mobility an art-form. Didn't move until ball was about to land then got there too late and fouled the defender. He was utter cack.
I thought he was one of the most underated players tbh , if we had of played to his strengths like Wolves did when he first joined them by crossing it to him he could have done very well for us.0 -
Of course and the documented facts.0

In Peace keeper mode
WTF does it matter he left years ago

Hugely underrated player. I think his problem was he wasn't technical or flashy and we were still expecting to see proper Premier League talent turning out for Charlton. He always put in a good shift and he scored some memorable last minute goals. I wasn't happy when we sold him and I'd have him back in a heartbeat

never should have let him go, was playing well, then we threw money at Andy Gray.0

Scored in the friendly being played tonight.0

The only striker I have ever seen who ducked when the ball arrived in the air rather than jumped. Complete and utter donkey. Would rather see toothless old Doc up front using his pace.
Wish him well but complete rubbish.

Lets see if my facts are incorrect.
Charlton - 10 goals in 46 games - 9 of these goals were scored before the new year.
Wolves - 16 goals in 46 games
Burnley 11 goals in 46 games
Basically he has a ratio of about one in every four games. His best season was with Colchester and without that season his career ratio would be a lot worse.
Is that a consistent striker who you can rely on? errr no.
Strange how he only stays with a club for one season. Not really as it is apparent.
The man doesn't work hard enough that is also a fact.
I rest my case
if he played in all 46 league gamesin those seasons mentioned above for charlton, wolves and
burnley then we've got good away support

50k according to todays papers. Bargain.0

He was at Wolves for 2 seasons - scored 14 in 31 in the Championship and 0 in 15 in the Premiership.His record at Championship level is decent, I don't know how that can be disputed:06/07: 18 goals in 4607/08: 10 goals in 4608/09: 14 goals in 3109/10: 2 goals in 8 (on loan at Bristol City)10/11: 11 goals in 45Ok so he's not a '20 goal a season' striker, but there are normally only 2 or 3 of them per division every year. It is a bit weird that he moves on every year, but he's been scoring consistently since 2005. He was just a late developer in footballing terms and clearly isn't a Premiership quality player.0

As we know from Pardew's misuse of him it is easy to see him as a back to goal target man and not much more. How many back to goal target men score 20 a season?
He did a reasonable job for us and, used properly, could have done better still.
There are many more culpable people than Iwelumo for our demise since Curbs left.

fair play to him he s "made the best of his lack of ability" but hes not a footballer in my view

From BBC Sport tonight:
"86:59 Offside, Chester FC. Chris Iwelumo tries a through ball, but Chris Iwelumo is caught offside. "
(Came on as a sub in 83 min. They came back from conceding a first minute goal to beat Wrexham 2-1 in the Cross Border Derby in the Conference Premier, a big win for them.)0 -
Insane decision to sell. RD, you are tearing the heart out of our club.7

He got caught offside from his own pass? That's talent!MountsfieldPark said:From BBC Sport tonight:

Funnily enough, he's almost the kind of player I'd like us to sign to partner Igor. Not quite now at his age but 6-7 years ago when he was a CAFC player, definitely.3

I think once he missed that sitter for Scotland his career nose dived. I, for one, never thought he was international standard anyway.0

Just as well he's Scottish then.Rob said:I think once he missed that sitter for Scotland his career nose dived. I, for one, never thought he was international standard anyway.

I watched the last twenty minutes of this after studying you know who in the Wigan v Ipswich tie. What a cracking game - didn't think the Vanarama Conference could be so entertaining. Over 3000 there, plenty of passion, good goals and a winner deep into injury time. Hi lights here.MountsfieldPark said:From BBC Sport tonight:

Yes, I saw some of the game and both comments are correct - well, there were more police than stewards on show. I thought it was skillful and entertaining. I'd sooner watch the Conference than the Champions League, which bores me for the most part. Even Lee Hughes comes across as an ordinary pro. You get some proper little grounds in the Conference, too, like Alfreton.Elthamaddick said:

The animosity between Chester and Wrexham goes back centuries.
The clock tower on Chester cathedral has a clock on three sides, the side facing Wrexham being empty. Hence the expression 'not giving the time of day' to your enemies.5 -
