Most underrated player for Charlton

The most underrated player for me was Diawara - thought he was a real quality player who many of our fans never rated. One of the best tacklers I've seen.

  • Any keeper who comes from the academy.

    They all seem to get far too much stick in recent years yet go on to do very well elsewhere.

    Elliot, Randolph, Pope. Philips getting the same treatment now.
    Pope seemed to get an awful lot of stick from some of our fans and I'm sure it affected him. He's done amazingly well.
  • I was always a big fan of Kish but most fans around me continually moaned about him.

    That may be why I'm front and centre of the Naby Sarr bandwagon ...

    Pope and Francis are probably the poster children.  Always rated Pope although did not think he would go in and do as well as he has, still cant get my head around Francis career. Well played to him.
  • Greg Shields. Thought he was great for us but then fell out with Curbs and had injury issues that basically ruined his career.
  • Ralph Milne........

    I’ll get my coat

    Thought Marco Motta was underrated.

    At the start, Pope made one howler per game that lead directly to a goal. The stick at that point was warranted but should have been directed at TwoShits for leaving us in such a position.

    Players who do all the dirty work like Kish are often underrated - you only appreciate their work when they're not playing and see the difference.

    In my viewing lifetime, few can beat Morgan Fox tbh

    You don't play 179 Premiership games if you are c***, even if it is only midtable boring premiership football,  despite the viewpoint of our booboys at the time.

    I am of course, like others above me, referring to Radostin Kishishev.

    Some may have realised that actually he wasn't bad when, well past his peak, he p***** all over the much vaunted Semedo and Racon when Brighton stuffed us 4-0 at The Valley.

    Great player for us and gave his all for the shirt every time.
    Agree. Very underrated player, humble lad and will always be remembered for this

    Keith Jones and Kish are two that immediately spring to mind.
    Chris Perry, whilst not underrated by us fans, unfortunately he evidently was by the management, I thought he was superb for the relatively short time he was with us.

  • Whilst he was a bit lightweight I always enjoyed watching Mark Stuart - on his day a tidy skilful player 
  • Keith Jones and Matt Holland both did the ‘invisible’ stuff that people don’t notice if their eyes only follow the ball

    100% Keith Jones and Kish. Both are regularly slated on here by some people but without them, we would have no one to do the leg work that’s unnoticed but a vital link between the defenders and attackers.
  • I always thought Shaun Bartlett never got the credit he deserved.  Everyone loved JJ but after the first 6 months he was pretty average (for the PL) whereas Bartlett did brilliant work as the one up top for about 5 years, and had a class touch about him too.

    He certainly had the ability, knew how to conjure a goal out of nothing, if only he could have been more consistent.

    Remember a frustrated Lennie Lawrence saying, Stuart could play for Barcelona or Bromley, it was up to him.

    Another vote for Kish and Jones.

    This.

    They do all the tracking and covering,  giving the more creative players the platform to flourish.

    The rest of the team can't perform if these type of players don't do their job.
