Hopefully Matthews can play tonight now.1

If we have some money, we can do better than Lockyerhudson-son-son said:Who knows, might have the same clause with Luton and we just get him back next year0 -

Still loves us obviously over 48 hours after his move and still got us as his profile picture and in his bio in insta, despite the fact he has posted on insta so he definitely has been on there 😂😂

And another clean sheet last night.Addick Addict said:golfaddick said:
Perhaps they have give him a get out of jail free card.......oops, I mean a relegation clause...😁. Seeing as they were nailed on certs to be relegated for 95% of last season I can see that he'll be back to square one in 10 months time.cafckev said:Wish him well. He stayed and tried to help. Made it clear that he would take up his option to look around etc, so thanks and good luck, but Luton? Surely he could have done better than Luton!
Lockyer's an international who has played 10 times for his country during which time they have not conceded more than a single goal in any one game and wants to play in the Euros. Playing in the Championship gives him a much better chance of doing so than in League 1
He's still only 25 but has already made 335 appearances for club and country - since his first full season in 2013/14 he has played 47, 48. 45, 51, 43, 50 & 47 times in each of those - no outfield player got close to his 43 starts for us last season. Bearing in mind that, as a CB, he is more liable than most to pick up bookings that is remarkably consistent.
He's no superstar but he's worthy now of playing at a higher level than League 1. The fact that he was allowed to have that clause inserted is more a reflection of our dire situation and I really don't see how anyone can criticise him for wanting to exercise that option
It takes a squad to get relegated. We went down because of our inability to score (only two teams scored less goals but nine conceded more). The pool we've been fishing in is, largely, either of League 1 calibre or players that could play a higher standard than that but are prone to injury. Lockyer is neither of those. And perhaps that's what really bothers some about his departure!0 - Sponsored links:

Interesting that Lockyer has gone to the back of the queue at Luton0 -
Another bench warmer. Perhaps him, Grant & Taylor can WhatsApp each other during games as I see all 3 didn't start at the weekend.

Wow, not even in the squad?!2
-
Sonny Bradley is decent but I think Lockyer will be in the squad soon. He's behind them because he only signed a few weeks ago and then went on international duty, means nothing at the moment. I'm very hopeful there's players we haven't even signed yet who will be in our best XI soon!3
-
That's just bitterness. Grant particularly is because he could well be moving onto the Prem, not because he was dropped by Hudds for not being good enough.golfaddick said:Another bench warmer.

He would have gone off on international duty soon after he signed for them. He probably doesn’t know where the toilets are at the training ground yet. He will play lots for them this season, give it timegolfaddick said:Another bench warmer.

Went last season and in the "bar" in the away end was one toilet, one sink and one bin, all 3 were in use when I got there. The fella at the bin was so wasted he seemed surprised his piss was not draining away as though a bin would be plumbed in!ricky_otto said:

Moral of the story, don't leave Charlton or your career will plummet.3

Messrs Pope, Gomez, Konsa, Aribo, Gudmundsson and Dijksteel might all differ. As will Lockyer, Grant, Taylor, Sarr and Bauer who might not be in the side right now but will still play and at a higher level than we are as well as earning substantially more than they would have done with us.iaitch said:Moral of the story, don't leave Charlton or your career will plummet.
That's a whole team of players that are at clubs higher than us. A few of them would have left come what may. But some would have stayed but for the actions of one person. He is the one that people should be pointing the gun at. Not those that have a very short career and choose to maximise their opportunities.
Professional sport is ruthless and for every single one of those mentioned above there's a Page, Stevenson, Reeves, Hanlan, Umerah or scholar that has been released that very few people are, in reality, that bothered about. You only have to compare the number of postings about Stevenson to those about Taylor to realise that.1 -

Correct me if I'm wrong but once Phillips departs I believe that we will have just one player, Pearce, who will have played 100 games for us.
So why are we getting so wound up about one or two players? For one reason or another no one stays with us more than a couple of seasons these days!!!!0 -
Made his debut for Luton tonight, as they won 1-0 at Reading0
