and your point is?CafcWest said:Jacob Roddy still listed on OS: https://www.charltonafc.com/player/9
He had a long term injury. Came on as substitute for the under 21s a few weeks ago. Played well.2 -
His last appearance was just before Christmas against Fulham when he came on as a 81st minute substituteCrusty54 said:

Ok thanks guys.
That obviously was a long term injury that Jacob Roddy had.0 -
That wasn't the point.
He came on as a substitute after a long term injury and did a job.
He is at the club in his own right.6 -
He isn't. He's at the club because of his dad. If he makes it on his own merit then all good and fair play to him, but let's not suggest he would have been on Charlton's radar had his dad not worked for the club.Crusty54 said:That wasn't the point.

Unlucky to get injured. He is a useful utility defender having played at right and left back in the past and in the middle when he came on as substitute in the recent game.SporadicAddick said:

His father is no longer at the club so still in the academy structure on merit.2 -

He has a contract to the end of the season which was signed when his dad was at the club, so he remains in our youth set up on merit only if we offer him a renewed contract in the summer. We won't.3 -
Charlie Barker is only here because of his dad Ritchie working at the club for a while.1

And Miles because of his Mum.Weegie Addick said:Charlie Barker is only here because of his dad Ritchie working at the club for a while.1 -
Leigh Hales because everyone was scared of his dad? 😆
My point remains nepotism is rife in Football to get that first chance. Even if it’s only a trial.0 -

And his brother Luke
not forgetting Mick and his son Rick worked at Charlton too19 -
Chris Powell only got a chance because of his dad Colin18

Tamar Tuna only got a chance because his dad appears on the big screen now and again.13

The irony of that statement is astounding. The creator of EPPP which has made academies like ours more difficult to justify. Dick head.6

Jacob Roddy played left back at the Valley yesterday for the u21s, played quite well I thought.
Looked comfortable on the ball, from what I remember he seems to have filled out a bit.2 -
Jacob has joined Weston Super Mare on loan.0
-
Surprised it's his first loan spell away. Only NLS as well.Callumcafc said:Jacob has joined Weston Super Mare on loan.0 -
From what I've seen, this could be a level too high. Lets be honest, he was at Charlton for one reason only, even if he outlasted his dad.1

National League South could well be Roddy's level or Jacob's ladder back up the football Pyramid 🙄0

16th in National League South. Still can't get my head around why we extended his contract. Waste of money.3

To give the u21 squad more depth? Can’t see any other reason.Athletico Charlton said:16th in National League South. Still can't get my head around why we extended his contract. Waste of money.1 -
Good luck to him.
Different positions, but to me he is similar to Josh Davison and I think their respective football careers will follow similar paths.1 -
He was "lucky" in that as a club we've been curiously lacking in left backs coming through in recent years.Scoham said:
