lookman being rested?
certainly jonjo was not played much prior to his move to liverpool.3 -
With the other results going against us it could be. But beat MK and we know there result goes in our favour and we give ourselves that chance again.Clem_Snide said:Too little too late.

talking to my mate in Cyprus last night this is what we think. Signed a new contract to get us a better fee, now warming the bench so as not to get injured to scupper his PL move.timken said:lookman being rested?

What was the fitness of the players like?
Be interesting to keep an eye on that as many feel that Laurence Bloom going isnt a bad thing...1 -
Top day out, the Griffin pub before and after the game was decent, although very busy the barmaids were very quick in serving everyone, doorman before the game was being a bit of an arse and kept opening the door despite us telling him to shut it cos it was freezing!
Atmosphere in the ground electric, can't beat scoring a goal on that terrace. Good performance from the lads big fan of Motta, reminds me of Ivanovic, big strong and gets forward, and got that bit of continental sneakiness about him drawing fouls and winding up the opposition.
I'll take league one if we at least go down fighting like this!5 -
We are only talking a time-wasting sub in the last minute here.....not a master tactical switch. Of course, Riga rates Lookman but not when we are leading 2-1 with a minute to go.EveshamAddick said:
Either Riga doesn't rate Lookman, or we are protecting our assest for a tasty sale at the end of the season, thus giving Roly the chance to break even = success.Dazzler21 said:One other minor quibble. Why does Jose always introduce the ineffective Reza instead of Lookman ? The space that Brentford were leaving towards the end was tailor-made to be exploited by Ademola's pace.
Sees more from Reza in training than Lookie?
Maybe Lookie is not 100%
Maybe Roland likes Reza?
Maybe Roland likes the idea of selling Lookman?5 -
Equally we've got to be careful how we utilise Lookman... Thanks the media linking him with big clubs, teams are already aware of how much of a threat he is so will ensure he's tightly marked if he does play.
At the same time when he got thrown into the side, he was just constantly played which meant he quickly got injured against Bolton so we have to ensure that doesnt happen again... With the Easter matches not long off, he'll get his opportunities2 -

The mystery was putting on Reza rather than say Bergdych who's pacy but can defend betterSimonsen said:

I thought JR called it right bringing Big Mak AND Reza on...I hate it when Charlton try to defend a lead at the end of a game because it just a invites the opposition to attack (and inevitably score)...Reza chases everything so he pushes the oppos defenders back all the way ...he was the right choice, Lookman would have operated from a midfield starting position...1

He sure did at Huddersfield, kicking everything that moved and got himself sent off in double quick time, the bloke can't tackle and is stealing a living.letthegoodtimesroll said:I thought JR called it right bringing Big Mak AND Reza on...I hate it when Charlton try to defend a lead at the end of a game because it just a invites the opposition to attack (and inevitably score)...Reza chases everything so he pushes the oppos defenders back all the way ...he was the right choice, Lookman would have operated from a midfield starting position...

He was only on for a minute on Saturday, but made a hash of keeping the ball in the corner!letthegoodtimesroll said:I thought JR called it right bringing Big Mak AND Reza on...I hate it when Charlton try to defend a lead at the end of a game because it just a invites the opposition to attack (and inevitably score)...Reza chases everything so he pushes the oppos defenders back all the way ...he was the right choice, Lookman would have operated from a midfield starting position...

Well he's certainly not Tony Watt, more of a Church but does IMO more, he can play a decent pass, cross and has an alright shot. Just needs to concentrate a bit more and work a little harder.killerandflash said:

Will we ever see Lookman on the pitch before he's sold in the summer ? I think they're keeping him free from injury.bazjonster said:
This is probably his level, just! Lot of hype surrounding him at present because of the hat trick and quite simply because he offers a different, if not awkward, option. Totally agree with previous comments about his indiscipline allowing him to constantly stray off-side. Many an attacking option was lost due to this, especially second half. However, he worries defenders and that's half the battle.SDAddick said:My defining memory of seeing Sanogo at Arsenal was that he looked awkward. There's all the talk about the poor touches and missed chances, but he also looked really awkward to defend against. We might be lucky if he gets another three goals in the run in, but as long as he remains a handful, he could create space for Callum and JBG (who can hopefully find better form with more quality in front of him), and be a good foil for Mak and maybe Lookman.
Perfect opportunity for the introduction of Lookman's pace (for Sanogo) toward the end of the match. As they pushed on they were leaving a lot of space at the back which Lookman possibly could have exploited better than Sanogo.

I think he's wasted playing wide midfield, would like to see him playing just behind the front 1 or 2 to pick up loose balls & run at the central defendersletthegoodtimesroll said:I thought JR called it right bringing Big Mak AND Reza on...I hate it when Charlton try to defend a lead at the end of a game because it just a invites the opposition to attack (and inevitably score)...Reza chases everything so he pushes the oppos defenders back all the way ...he was the right choice, Lookman would have operated from a midfield starting position...

Also, Reza much more experienced than Lookman, and more wily in terms of winding down the clock....letthegoodtimesroll said:I thought JR called it right bringing Big Mak AND Reza on...I hate it when Charlton try to defend a lead at the end of a game because it just a invites the opposition to attack (and inevitably score)...Reza chases everything so he pushes the oppos defenders back all the way ...he was the right choice, Lookman would have operated from a midfield starting position...

Not to mention some of us Addicks, he'll be gone in the summer hopefully with many of the other overseas contingent who are only here for the money.EveshamAddick said:
