Fair enough. Thanks Callum, can always rely on you to bring the stats!Callumcafc said:Croydon said:Has he even had a shot inside the box in those 4 matches? He had one long ranger last night but I can't remember when we last had him in a dangerous position. It's madnessHe’s been in a lot more dangerous positions than you think.1 shot inside the box against Bristol Rovers
3 shots inside the box against Orient
1 shot inside the box against Burton
5 shots inside the box against Barnsley10 shots from inside the penalty area in total: 6 have been blocked, he’s missed the target three times and forced the keeper into a save once.0 -
He’s scored 2 goals from open play from the right though, and only 2 playing as a striker on his own.Callumcafc said:Croydon said:Has he even had a shot inside the box in those 4 matches?

But he is either getting fewer chances, or fewer good chances when playing as a RW or as a striker on his own. Why on earth did Appleton stop playing him as the 10 when it was working well?It is unexplainable, we were doing well with Watson in midfield (Appleton hasn’t won a game without him there!) and May in the 10, why change it? And then when you do change it and it doesn’t work, why not return to it?4 -

Stats are stats
1 shot on target from 10 is not a glowing stat for May playing wide
Even more bizarre Apples not winning a game without Louie Watson yet dropping him

“May plays wide and I can’t remember when he last had a shot!”
*shows stat where he had 10 shots in last four games*“Not like that!”
You all don’t like him playing on the right wing. We get it.
(PS I’m not even arguing for it, I’m just tired of the repetitiveness of it all.)2 -
He's a goalscorer- he'll always try and shoot but him having ONLY ONE shot on target of those TEN shows it's not working!Callumcafc said:“May plays wide and I can’t remember when he last had a shot!”

How many shots on target has he had for the games prior Calllum?
And tired of the repetitiveness because it isn't what you want it to be? It's funny how when things don't go their way that people become "tired"
Tired of crap results
Tired of shit transfer windows
Tired of managers fixated with a specific formation despite a lack of players to play it
Tired of playing our best goslscorer in completely the wrong position
I'm knackered of it all if I'm being honest!

How does that compare to the four league games before when he presumably was scoring?Callumcafc said:Croydon said:Has he even had a shot inside the box in those 4 matches?

Has there been any word on his situation? Will he be available for Saturday?0

Just imagine how many he would have scored if he wasn’t played out on the wing .Callumcafc said:Scoham said:

It's not just him though. Some have been so Charltonised that they've left the Club in a state of trauma - the whole of the rest of the current squad have managed just 2 goals between them in the last 14 games!!!oohaahmortimer said:1 goal in 9 games for Alfie , poor fucker has been given the Charlton kiss of death by this thread1 -
Alfie will be setting himself a target- at least 1 per game to the end of the season...... 30 still may be possible if one of the oposition collapses0
-
If he and the rest of the team pick up where they left off on Saturday then he will get a hat trick tonight. No disrespect to Wigan, I don’t think it makes a difference who the opposition is if the striker is in that confidence zone where they are going to have a pop whenever they can and from whichever angle and distance.1

He's on 27 for the season atm is he not?KingKinsella said:Alfie will be setting himself a target- at least 1 per game to the end of the season...... 30 still may be possible if one of the oposition collapses
23 league, 2 in the FA Cup and 2 in EFL Trophy.
He's back on form so 3 in the last 4 should be do-able.3 -
The next three weeks will be crucial.1

5 in 4 games is a tall order at any time especially now the team realistically has nothing to play for
AM will be busting a gut to score of course but he always gives his best for the team first, self second
Much as we'd like him to rack up loads this month, the more he gets the harder he'll be to retain over the summer
30 years old and scoring goals for fun he'll attract much attention from wealthier clubs than ours
I'm not advocating he should be sold but money always talks - to club and player alike - and Charlton have to be mindful of PSR else we're looking down the barrel of point deductions next season
A quiet few games with few if any goals might serve CAFC better3 -
I disagree. He is 30 and never played above this level before. I think clubs will be put off by his age and they would rather take a punt on a youngster with a really value.Billy_Mix said:5 in 4 games is a tall order at any time especially now the team realistically has nothing to play for

Without knowing the cash outgoings- just look at the profusion of signings in the Jan window- most have hardly seen the light of day. Its a mini Nottingham Forest scenario.Todds_right_hook said:
