I think there's only Halford left isn't there? Lita's gone back, Cooks gone back to Fulham and had a meeting with the QPR chairman on Saturday after the game about going there and Sodje's injured.0 -

As well as Shelvey get Youga and Basey back in the team and put Varney & Gray up front. No place for Thomas.0
-
agree with that except Thomas would get in my side every time.0
-
what has Thomas done this season other than massively disappoint?
Showboater who rarely gets a cross in.0 -
has been either injured/dropped/not played far to often, granted, and yes he has disappointed, but who hasn't !!......nobody actually knows the reasons behind this, they just assume he has a chip on his shoulder, can't be arsed etc....
but when he plays he looks more dangerous than any other winger we have, has the ability to go past people like they ain't there, he first touch is better than anyone else's by a mile and he knows how to win a free kick in dangerous areas (just a shame we ain't got no one who can deliver one !)
Just my opinion though.....and probably not that of most others on here.0 -
I thought Pards disciplining him through the media was a big mistake, as was dropping people for new buys/loans the day they arrive - not good man managment in my view. If you want to get people to play well for you humiliation is not the answer.0
-
Does anyone else get the feeling we're going to revamp the side, put some kids in, play well, win the last 2 games, then we'll all be saying, if only he'd put the kids in sooner!0

Now we are out of play-off contention, I expect we'll win both no matter what team is put out.0

It's a good opinion, though Elts. In a couple of recent matches when Thomas has stepped up to the plate, he's looked the business - and by far our most threatening player.
If he can do it for TV matches when he knows he's in the shop window, then it's a sad indictment of his attitude that he appears to frequently not be arsed in other matches. God, he's got so much talent you want to shake him. Grrrr!
He's got 1 year on his contract and has already made known that he intends to play in the Prem next year, with or without us. So he's off, then - therefore no point playing him on Saturday. Let Waggy have his chance.0 -
he looked the business granted but couldn't finish his dinner - we should be seeing at least 10 goals a season from him but he has to show that from the off.
I'd keep him I agree but he's got to pull his bloody finger out.0 -
we said that a year ago0
-
very true0
-
Wagstaff could be the key next season there is alot thought of him at the club he is as good as Thomas already in my opinion well they have scored the same amount of 1st team goals anyway0
-
I think he could be starting in this interview:
http://www.cafc.co.uk/newsview.ink?nid=32325&newstype=x
he says:
"If I do play at the weekend, I imagine Matty will be talking to me all the way through, which will be a big help.”
Which is a hint that he will play alongside Matty.0 -
He is starting. He was told yesterday.
A new dawn!0 -
To the tune of "The lion sleeps tonight"
We have Jonjo
The mighty jonjo
The jooonnnnnjo shelvey
A wim boo way a wim boo way0 -

Waggy was voted 'Young Player of the Year'. remember.0 -

brilliant news to me0 -
You'll be there, won't you Isaw?......Barnsley is just down the road from Sheffield. ;o)
I'd love to see both JonJo & Waggy start.
Away from home, too - where they can afford to make a mistake or two without the crowd getting on their backs.0 -
I am indeed going Oggy, along with CPM who you may remember as being responsible for our post-Plymouth state of being!
I too would love to see both in there and some of the likes of Monteiro, Gibbs, A.Thomas, Yussuff, etc. in the squad
We need to see what these boys are made of0 -
Tell Colin Powells Mower that I say hello.......I'm still hungover from all those Sambucca shots in Walkabouts, Plymouth. Great day!
Agree with you that's it's time to blood a couple of kids, ISaw - but too little experience and too many changes could see the team swept aside. Might be good to see the legendary Gibbs in a Charlton shirt, though!
Cory Gibbs - Charlton legend without kicking a ball ....... !

From what little I've seen of Thomas this year I'd agree with Oggy.
Regarding his intention to play in The Premier League, I'd say he'd be lucky to find a club. maybe one of the promoted tems but apart from that I struggle to think of a club who'd want him.0 -
Other notable young Charlton debutants were Mark Penfold, who was 16 years and 258 days old when he played against York City at home on August 25th, 1973, while Scott Parker made his senior Addicks bow aged 16 years and 314 days when he featured against Bury on August 23rd, 1997. Paul Walsh was 16 years and 356 days when he played against Shrewsbury Town on September 22nd, 1979 .breaking the previous record set by Paul Konchesky when the left-back,
He would be be very good company and if those others are to go by will have a great career0 -

China White's Jim?0 -
or annabels
Anyway can't get a bllody price from paddy power for shelvey in 90 minutes so going down local bookies.0 -
JonJo did well today by all accounts.
Lasted 90 mins, running well with the ball, taking corners & free kicks, and a couple of shots on goal - including one hacked off the line.
That close to a debut goal.....!
Not bad for 16 years 59 days. Well done JonJo ........you put others to shame.0
