in General Charlton
Hard not to admire him given his exemplary attitude and his non stop effort. Delighted to see him get a hatrick today.
If only all our players worked as hard as he does. Expected very little from him when he signed but am glad to be proved wrong.

    Is this where I dig up where I'd called him POTY and Kermo with pace before August was out? :)

    I bet Konsa is the most pleased person that he managed to get that hat-trick goal !

    A touch of Yann about him. And by that I mean a relatively large amount of our fans were writing him off before he even kicked a ball for us.

    You can see why he's been starting for Northern Ireland, ahead of players playing at a higher level

    He looked offside on the screen replay. He didn't hold back in running over to konsa to tell him where the ball should have gone

    Never stops - always running into good positions, closing the oppo down . . . Proper Charlton!

    I actually thought that rant at Konsa was out of order. He is a young kid learning his trade and you have to accept that he will occasionally take the wrong option.

    Plus if Josh, as a striker, was in the position Konsa was there's no way he's passing !

    Ah, I didn't see that Josh was offside

    They'll be ok. I've all but punched teammates when I used to play rugby but as you leave the pitch it's irrelevant.

    As someone who was brought up watching Kilmarnock and laments the current state of Scottish football, I was totally underwhelmed when we signed big Josh. Delighted to eat a large slice of humble pie. Top man.

    Wonder who scouted / recommended him....do we know? Someone already on Slade's radar? God forbid, had a good game on FM16 for Driessen?

    I'd guess that his performances for Northern Ireland in the run up to the Euros, and the Euros themselves would have been fairly good markers, though probably not of hat tricks...

    God only knows we need a player the fans can really rally around as Jackson has to step back from the field... seems we just might have got one.

    We do have a head of recruitment as well, one of his recommendations?

    Reckon the derisory bid (think 30K) from Oldham the week before he was signed probably helped Charlton decide to come in for him.

    Always said he would be good at League one level.

    He needed telling that it was a really bad decision to shoot, I think it's way more important for his development than a 'well done' and a pat on the back. That said, Konsa had a very good game today and I'm sure the rant will be more than balanced out with praise. Either way, I'm sure Konsa won't lose any sleep over it.

    Was that the shooting chance from Konsa that deflected JUST over? - If so I thought he had every right to attempt it as he'd created the really good opportunity for himself

    As I said, if Magennis was in that position there's no chance he would be passing to anyone.

    I'm sure Konsa has heard much worse after playing with Roger Johnson...

    Bollocks was it a bad decision to shoot. It's always an instant, heat of the moment decision to make and the first rule of thumb should always be if you have the ball and you can see the goal have a go. It's far better to have a go yourself if you have half a chance than pass it to somebody else and increase the odds on a defender getting it and no shot at goal happening at all

    If you need to explain class to somebody - just show them our third goal. Perfect touchand finish worthy of the top league.
