Clark v Holmes (or another). Who would be your first name on the team sheet?

in General Charlton
TBH I've not seen enough games this season to judge but the impression I get is that Holmes would just pip Clark on current importance to the team.

Discuss.

    I would be staggered if there is a better player than Holmes in this division

    So would I, and I would enjoy seeing him play.

    Right now anyway I wouldn't drop any player even if all of them can have the odd dicky moment from time to time.

    Clarke work mainly goes unoticed

    Holmes is a flair player

    Kashi a workhorse

    All 3 as key as each other but people will say Holmes because of his end product

    I genuinely like them both but Holmes is one of the most exciting players I have seen in my 55 years of watching my beloved Charlton.

    Clarke's work certainly doesn't go unnoticed on here, quite the opposite.

    OUCH!!... Difficult question

    Holmes edges it because he's the flair player and useful for getting on the end of any ball because of his pace and control...

    Clarke wouldnt be able to bring the ball away from danger in the same way as he'd need to ping the ball to someone in front of him as isnt as quick.

    I think Holmes is ahead for me, probably in the top 3 players in the league and is always a major threat.

    Philips because laws of games say you must have a keeper and the keeper is always first on the list.

    Otherwise Kashi

    A great team as it stands wouldn't swap any of ours for any players in this league with the formation we play, with Konsa on the bench and Reeves and Marshall to come in this has going to be one entertaining season.

    If I could put any player in the team from what I've seen so far it would be a well behaved and hard working: Nile Ranger

    BUT he's proven time and again this aint gonna happen so isnt worth the risk

    It’s all very well having a great pianist playing but it’s no good if you haven’t got anyone to get the piano on the stage in the first place, otherwise the pianist would be standing there with no bloody piano to play.

    So kashi for me

    difficult .. I'll try not to avoid the issue .. Holmes was terrific last season in a poor team, he has flair and is a goal scorer, one of the stars of League 1 ..
    Kashi has recovered from injury and now runs our midfield which was awful last season ..
    Clarke complements Kashi superbly as does F-Caskey .. they all allow Holmes even more scope .. AND of course Amos is proving to be an excellent loanee .. the rest of the consistent selection are all (so far) having good seasons .. anyway to answer the question ..... errrrrrrrr errrrr

    Kashi . why ? .. he runs the midfield and takes pressure off the defence and allows the strikers/wide players lots of scope .. this season he IS the difference

    Ricky the Road runner because of his flair. But Clarke has been fantastic so far. Plus Kashi and JFC are making it possible for Holmes to play with freedom.

    IF IF we can get 36 games out of Ricky Holmes, with the above players staying fit we should go close to a bit of success.

    We should have a better idea after 10 games. So far so good.

    Ranger is a wrongun, he would do more harm than good in this team. Any man that has the opportunity to be a footballer should think how lucky he is, not play with a tag and be indoors by seven due to a curfew.

    Nile Ranger is a big unit.

    If Nile played for CAFC he would replace Josh and become the Lone Ranger.

    Holmes... goals, assists, energy and consistency (especially for a winger). Should be playing Championship football. Hopefully he will for us next season.

    Or he'd be a good backup for Josh... Not saying he'd sign him because of the off-field issues but Robinson does seem to be a fan of Ranger going by his post match remarks

    Amazing though he's 26-years old now, thought he'd be a lot younger still

    Oh god yeah - Not saying that Ranger is a player we should sign, would definitely be against it myself

    Especially as we're a London club, I know Southend isnt far from the Capital yet with us the lure of London trouble would be right on his doorstep

    Magennis - because he tracks back and leads the line. Beats up defenders, scores and can provide for others too.

    Holmes - we'd be a bit lost without him. Bags of energy and flair and plenty of goals.

    Holmes makes a massive difference to the team's attacking play. For years Charlton have lacked a midfielder who drives the team forward. Endless fannying about with sideways passes without the wit to breakdown the opposition has been doing my head in for too many seasons now. Holmes goes right at the opposition, full speed, all the time. He's almost irreplaceable to the team at the moment (and therefore I expect Roland will sell him to Sheff Utd in January!)

    We saw last season how much a miss he was.

    I'm frankly terrified about what's going to happen in the January transfer window. I'm convinced that RD will sell Holmes (and perhaps Kashi and Konsa) if another club comes in offering a few million quid and I think this will happen regardless of our league position. At the same time our rivals will all be strenghtening their squad for the run in and it could all end up very badly for us.

    RD is still a complete and utter w@nker in my eyes and its just the sort of thing he would to to spite us long suffering fans. After all he openly admits that he doesn't care about results.
