Goals from Izale McLeod and some other bloke earned Charlton's reserves a 2-1 win over Aldershot Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Sparrows Lane on Wednesday.

After Aldershot had gone in front early on, McLeod drew the Addicks level, before whatshisname grabbed the winner shortly after half-time.

In an entertaining game which saw run-outs for Jonathan Fortune, Chris Solly and Harry Arter after recent injury problems.....

Surely Izele must be in the 16 on Saturday. He scored loads for MK Dons and in the reserves so deserves a chance.

    And I keep forgetting we've got Hans Martin Christensan Anderson as a winger as well.

    Just did a quick tot up of goals. So far this season Dickson has scored 6 in 7 for the reserves, whilst Izzy has scored 3 in 5. Very impressive when you consider both coming back from major injuries. Only makes it all the more confusing when Pards a)wouldn't play them, b)got in loans to push them further down the order and c)reckons dickson isn't ready for the first team yet keeps scoring at reserves and league 1 level for fun.

    So now Kins is looking after the first team someone else must have managed this reserve side to a win.

    Proves beyond all argument that Kinsella is a bad manager ; - )

    way i see it is that Grey, varney and toddy have had all season to prove themselves, and for me they haven't done that. We should be giving wags, Chris and McLeod at least 3/4 games to prove themselves. What i have seen of wags he looks like an exciting player and Dickson works very hard and he can finish which he proves in the reserves regulary. As for McLeod, he has proven himself at MK Dons and our reserves but hasnt really had a run in our side to prove himself for our first team. Pardew gave him one game and i think even in that game he was substituted. Time they were all given there chance.

    Don't think Toddy has had all season. he's hardly featured.

    kk agree that toddy hasnt had all season, but still feel he has enough time to prove himself and he hasn't done that

    He's not shone but he's a different type of player.

    TBH I think Izele and Dickson will start on Saturday but on loan for other clubs

    Sounds like the man knows something?

    And if they do, what odds that both score ? !

    Afterthought on edit : Forest are struggling for goals. Is 'O.G.' still their top scorer? We could send them both there...

    No, no inside info just the logic of if you are bringing players and their wages in then you want to move players and their players out.

    Hope they both do score. That's the point.

    Henry, with that sort of bias reporting, a career for one of the "red tops" surely beckons.

    Sorry but I just had to bite!

    From the OS:

    "Former Dulwich Hamlet striker Dickson picked the ball up on the left-hand side of the penalty area, before skipping past an Aldershot defender and slotting home."


    Jeez, we've been sorely missing that kind of opportunism.

    yeh, like he's been given a chance ?

    poor lad has hardly started a game and mostly (like Dickson) has had 5 or 10 mins at the end of a game, usually when we are behind and chasing it.

    Varney has been given chance after chance and big Chris last year played in EVERY game. - even the young lad Waghorn got a start last night.

    I say give Mcleod and Dickson a run of 5 or 6 games to see what they have or havn't got. No-one on here can give an informed opinion on either one as we haven't seen enough of them in action.


    PS - i should know - I have seen most games since we've been in this league & only missed 2 games so far this season.

    Well Izzy and Dicko did all right playing up front together today in the reserves.
    Seemed to complement each other well, teeing chances up for each other.

    But then it'll be much more pressured at League level - especially at home.

    The thing is reserve football is about Conference Standard which is more or less where Dicko was spotted ok maybe a league or two higher.

    Championship football is a much higher level than the reserves.

    That said they both have pace and might offer something different. Izale did score a lot of goals two seasons ago and hasn't really had a fair crack of the whip with us and Dicko really is an unknown quantity.
