Francis, yes
After never played
Barnes was a swan song at the end of a great career.
Not really valid examples.2 -
JFH - good shout.
Rommedahl was maybe overlooked a little bit but he did still produce fond memories.
It's a shame, feel we could have got more out of him. Arry was interested apparently.0 -
I just didn’t rate him....mind you when we had Gary Docherty playing alongside him we had the two slowest defenders in the division.ForeverAddickted said:

The most obvious one is Darren Bent...
Highest English scorer in the Premier League at Charlton, but instead when the World Cup squad was picked, a player was chosen who had never even kicked a ball in the Premier League.
We all knew how good he was, but the FA didn't...3 -
Pope is definitely a valid example. Made quite a few blunders for us and rarely looked comfortable.2
-
Just not so. Made two big blunders at the start of his time then improved greatly, so much so that Burnley bought him but many refused to see past the early blunders by a young keeper and so missed what a solid keeper he had become.cafctom said:Pope is definitely a valid example.

have you seen Francis play recently? Making loads of mistakes, looks like a rabbit in the headlights most of the time.2

Danny Murphy thinks he's in this list0

To be fair to him though a lot of us (me included) didnt think he was good enough for League One.LargeAddick said:have you seen Francis play recently? Making loads of mistakes, looks like a rabbit in the headlights most of the time.
He's currently making mistakes in the Premier League!! - Quite an improvement for someone not good enough for this level.3 -
He never looked comfortable with the ball at his feet, which would be quite regularly considering we were often on the back foot that season.Henry Irving said:

No doubt in the fact that he is doing well now, but cannot agree that he ever looked truly 'solid' in his time with us. That's not to say I'm not happy for him now.

there are only ever a handful and those who are comfortable with the ball at their feet usually end up playing under Guardiola1 -
The majority look more comfortable than Nick Pope did when he was playing for us. Maybe it was a confidence thing at the time rather than ability, but he looked petrified and clumsy whenever the ball was played back to him.ForeverAddickted said:

But he's not a creative midfielder. His catching, shot stopping, command of his area were all very good. In a poor side he was given too many poor back passes. Solid keeper for us.cafctom said:

All I remember was that whenever I saw him between the sticks for us, he made a high number of blunders. He previously went out on loan to orient I believe and kept a high number of clean sheets and was apparently doing really well. Wasn't very confident at charlton and now he is a relatively high profile name in the premier league due to burnley having a great season so far.Henry Irving said:

Charlton is currently toxic and was even more toxic a year or so ago.
He has kept the 4th highest amount of clean sheets in the premier league this season. Little stat for you.
So the contrast between his success playing for charlton and his current success playing for burnley is rather large.
When at the valley I also remember everyone around me moaning about him ...but i was usually drunk and not paying attention to anything anyway. From late 2013 onwards, that has often been the case.
John Barnes is not so valid for the category but he was in my head due to a random Christmas chat about him.1 -

Not sure if the stats back it up but Andy Gray seemed to score more regularly for other clubs than when with us.
Also, the ultimate Charltonisation, Ralph Milne.0 -

Really pleased to see Pope do well at Burnley, but he was a complete mixed bag for us. Long range shots aimed low and hard at him was a huge weakness. Off the top of my head i remember major errors against Hull, Fulham and Huddersfield. Hardly solid?1

Do you think nick pope was as good a goalkeeper when he played for charlton compared to now?
When watching nick pope play for charlton, did you ever once think something along the lines of;
"judging him on his current charlton performances, he has real potential and will be a premier league regular starter one day...actually, i think in just a few years"

I think the big think with Pope is he is playing behind a settled back 4 and has a good manager. Not to mention that when he joined Burnley, there 1st Choice was Heaton and 2nd Paul Robinson - he will have learned so much from those 2.
At Charlton, I doubt he played with the same back 4 for more than 2 consecutive games. We were also in free fall and he would naturally have been nervous.4 -
How about Scott Sinclair?3
