    One man wrecking machine he's unplayable  sometimes the main reason we got a point.

    Great player for us, but that's never been the debate. How long until he pulls up and we don't see him for 3 months? I'll enjoy watching him in the meantime

    Chuks with no injury issues would have played in the premier league in my opinion. If he can give us 30 games of either 60 from the start or 30 off the bench, he’s a huge asset. 

    Was man of the match today. They simply couldn’t cope with him. Just needs to remember that composure infront of goal. It’ll come.

    He is a brute of a beast seems bigger than anyone else on the pitch.

    Can understand why MAY gave him the ball for the penalty, once he is off the mark he will get a bag full. Just keep him fit.

    Reckon he'll be sore in the morning .
    He really put it in to get down the wing and chip it over for May's goal.

    And we all know what that usually means. :-(

    If one of those late chances had gone in I think we'd be in danger of the all-time record Player Marks score

    That first assist is one of the best assists by a Charlton player in recent years, he did about 5 things completely right 
    I honestly think that’s the best assist we’ve had in this division, amazing combination of strength and pace.

    I'm just gonna stand by my original post on this thread at this point - he's got another 30 minutes in the tank today and for every 30 minutes/60 minutes week by week he is going to have more and more confidence that his body can cope with things and psychologically for an injury prone player that is EVERYTHING when trying to come back for the umpteenth time.

    he's had 120 minutes + of football in the last 7 days - don't think many people would have thought it possible or probable at the start of the season (maybe even including himself) 

    long may it continue. Well done Chuks keep it up mate!

    In 5 games chuks has gained us 6 points.  We haven't lost a point when he has been on the pitch.

    Good job we paid him off in the summer.
    When he sprinted to beat the defender, out-muscled him and then played a lovely dinked ball across for May to score all I could think was 'why has this man not been medically retired yet?!'
    Who was the poster that stated this nonsense? He went onto make the most flawed financial savings argument too. All I remember was 'you don't get it.'

    The way he bulldozed that defender before setting up the goal was marvellous. Absolute steam train.

    Chucks is a great asset, but at the moment his great coming off the bench with 30mins to go, but when he starts I feel that his not the same player as he monitors himself because he doesn’t know if he can play 90mins at the moment, but his looking fitter than we have seen him for a long time.

    He was still good on Tuesday from the start. I would start him in 1 of the Reading or Lincoln games when we come back in 2 weeks

    Yep, he played ok on Tuesday, but still not the same player than coming of the bench when opposition is tired.

    talalsrightfoot. A couple of weeks before he said that Jonny Williams wasn't a man because when Bowyer bullied him he didn't fight him but instead posted 'indirects' on social media. The best part of the Chuks renaissance is every so often I'm reminded of that thread and talalsrightfoot losing his goddamn mind for an entire afternoon before asking to be banned, possibly because he had an epiphany and realised his brain had broken. It's my absolute favourite thing

    It's a good bit of psychology really for Appleton to use. Imagine being part of a defence that's had to deal with the speed of CBT, the movement and effort of May and the physical threat of Leaburn for 70 odd minutes and then having Aneke come off the bench to get at you.

    Its not a prospect any player's going to relish.

    I was half expecting his hamstring to go on that brilliant run.

    Makes such a difference with him starting or on the bench. We all desperately want him to score. He clearly wants to score and he will but just hope he keeps fit and doing what he is doing. Great to see him back in the red shirt.

    Not sure about that. For some reason he's never really done it in the Championship, when he was on the pitch in 2019/20 he never stood out as a lethal goal threat.

    that 20-30 minutes on saturday was probably the biggest impact i've ever seen a player have - he lifted the whole stadium with his first touch of the ball then proceeded to leave 3 or 4 blackpool players on the ground trailing in his wake every time he got the ball thereafter -  was rousing stuff - just get the ball to him when he's in that mood and let him create havoc - the way he bounced the defender out the way and then killed that high ball stone dead near the half way line was a thing of beauty - he'd practised it 3 or 4 times at half time - i just pray his body holds out for him coz u can't fault his desire and application - 20 minutes of chucks is worth 90 of most other league 1 forwards.

    Seems Chuks beats the whole "he gets better when he's injured" tripe.

    Chuks really is that good, that the gamble of keeping him playing far outweighs any benefit of releasing him. 

    Just imagine if we had released Chuks... we'd definitely be worse off.

    Wasn't he injured for most of it and when he came back towards the end had two goals that would have saved us wrongly chalked off for offside

    In the first half of 21/22 when he was at Birmingham, he featured in every match day squad, but made little impact before returning to us.

    If you were going to let Chuks go it would mean you have to replace him with someone who can do what he can do BUT for 90 minutes a game, 40 odd games a season.

    But if you found THAT player, they almost certainly wouldn't be available or willing in League One. Certainly not for a middling bunch of also-rans like we've been in recent times....

    I don’t think anyone says that about Chuks , we all know that if he’s fit and on the pitch damage will be done .

    we have had soooo much other guff waiting in the wings who are bid up to high heaven when they’re injured .
