I think the consensus at the time was that he was playing his heart out for us, injured his ACL doing so, and didn't deserve to be dumped to the curb.
Some might say that's football and we should be ruthless. But we had a lot of players running out of contract and what message would that have sent to them? Don't try too hard because if you do and you get injured, we won't look after you. We were trying to push for the play-offs at the time.16 -

Terrible for him that he's had 2 serious knee injuries, but what's made it worse is how long they've affected him for
It wasn't just the 2018/19 season that was wrecked but also the 2019/20 one when he really struggled to get back to full fitness, and kept picking up other injuries1 -
Still only 27 and a class player in League 1; I hope he’s going to be around for a couple more years at least.6

Exactly, not giving him a new contract would have basically said Taylor was right.Chunes said:I think the consensus at the time was that he was playing his heart out for us, injured his ACL doing so, and didn't deserve to be dumped to the curb.

I definitely think he's been missed. Last season he was generally full of energy and got about the pitch really well. Unlike the current set of midfielders, he has the knack of a few goals too.
But it will be hard for him to get going again after a second long spell out.1 -
I don’t think giving him a new deal was a bad idea. He won POTY, had managed to recover from the injury previously and we had a lot of rebuilding to do last summer. I’ve never really rated him, but could see the reasons for giving him another contract and he’s a decent professional. It will be interesting to see how they tackle any offer of a new deal in the summer. I reckon if he’s fit, Jackson might want to try0

There is an option, which is why it took longer than it should have done, I assume its up to us as in a yes or no. An option that triggered after x number of games would have been worthless.cabbles said:I don’t think giving him a new deal was a bad idea.

100% expect him to be here next season.0 -

I agree. I can’t see the point of having given him the one year deal, unfortunately for him and the club, not to have recovered in time, only then for us to break ties. As much as it was the right thing to do to offer him a deal, the club will also want to see that repaid by having him play for us again (I would imagine).Cafc43v3r said:

As for whether or not I think he’s good enough to be part of a promotion winning team, I’ll save that for next season and give him a chance to show us what he can do1 -
He has been our best player, or one of, the 2 full seasons he has played for us and we finished 6th and 7th.cabbles said:

If he is as good as he was then and is our worst first team player I would be pretty confident of top 2. He is certainly better than Lapslie, Marshall, Reeves and Morgan who were all part of our last promotion winning squad.2 -
He could still be our best player this season given the competition 😆Cafc43v3r said:

If he returns to the form and fitness he had before the injury, then he'll be a key part of our midfield next season, and easily good enough. If nothing else the next few months should show the club whether this is likely.3

Well he is getting my vote for POTY....valleynick66 said:

“I will be playing one more U23s game then I’m available for selection,” he explained.3 -
Cool - not managed to find the goal.
This might give the midfield a nice nudge.0 -
Due to play at least an hour against Peterborough next week Tuesday.
Great to have him back and he should then be available to the first team squad from 26th onwards. He’ll get a new deal, Jackson really likes him and he does have something that we have been missing.
Add a couple of attacking midfielders in the summer who score/contribute to goals and a midfield of Dobson, Forster-Caskey, Gilbey, Fraser, and 2 others plus Morgan should be very strong as long as the two others are top players for this league.9 -

Be interesting to see what a midfield 3 of Dobson, Fraser and Forster-Caskey could do. Plenty of technical and passing ability amongst those three. Would we actually be able to capitalise upon it though?2 -
Imagine if he could tackle like Dobbo.valleynick66 said:

(He can’t unfortunately). Would be good to have him up and running for next season, but after two such serious injuries it’ll be a challenge.0 -
I thought one of his best games for us was away at Fulham when I think he played at wing back....could he be the answer there?7

Big fan of JFC at this level think he’s an excellent player. Should get about 8 matches to show everyone at Charlton why he’s important part of squad for next season3
