Can't see him getting a sniff Saturday

I'd hope not unless he scores and then he's welcome to indulge any drug related habits in the evening as long as he is fit for training the following week. 

Of course after just a couple of games it’s all guesswork which doesn’t even need explaining but this place would be as dull as our current attacking options if only optimistic positive opinions are allowed to be expressed 
someone let us know at what point are you allowed to predict the next Macaulay Bonne 
I know pronouncing Yanns replacement has arrived is fine .

It's unreal on here.People just like writing players off after a few games. Don't forget that "the great" Alfie May didn't score for the first few games.

I’m pretty sure not many wrote him off and plenty could see he was decent

Yeah you know you've got a point there. What we need to do is just complain and look for the negativity in everything, that's much more exciting and interesting.

I think some people on here are unable to realise that highlighting fact/ reality is not negativity. If it’s raining outside and you say “it’s raining outside at the moment”, you’re not saying you don’t think it will ever be sunny again… 

ahadme has looked mediocre so far is the fact. Maybe he’ll end up being good, maybe he’ll end up being shit. It’s too early to say, but only the former is an acceptable possible scenario to mention 🤔

No just feel free to offer opinions whether good or bad without the everything is wonderful in la la Charlton land crew sniping 
I mean we have been utter shit for years , This looks like The best opportunity in a few years for it not to be
everyone is buzzing with our defence and solidity it’s clear to see it’s much improved , attacking wise we look a bit blunt at The moment , that’s fine to express that opinion as well surely without the usual we can only wank off all players bollox 
good bad and indifferent opinions should be allowed without the usual sniping 

For me it’s more about being neutral until a player proves otherwise rather than positive. Claiming Ahadme is the new Yann is as over the top as deciding he’s the next Bonne. Some players adapt quickly, others need time to show their best which can be for various reasons.

But by the same logic saying "hopefully the weather improves" doesn't mean you're saying its not raining right now. 

I don't think anyone's hyping him up as the next Kermorgant, or predicting he's going to outscore May. Just that some people see enough to think he's got more potential.

agreed in principle with both of these, but IMO he's looked very ineffectual in both games, obviously I hope he's great but *from what I've seen so far*, I'm not at all impressed... and the statbank for both games agrees.

that's not negativity, just the "reality" of the 2 games (only 2 though!) so far. therefore IMO optimism SO FAR is less justified than "negativity"

I'm certainly hoping the sun comes out and he scores a hat trick on saturday but if he is hauled off at half time having barely touched the ball I won't be telling myself he's the next best thing in waiting just cos he ran about a bit!

Two average at best performances still doesn’t tell us much though.

Remember when Kilkenny was the new Cullen, or we had a real gem in Louie Watson?

Or the first few months of Dobson’s time here when he wasn’t considered one of our best players? He was even dropped after the first few games and didn’t show what he could do until he played under Jackson.

I know. I did say clearly “only 2 games”.

Haha this thread. He’s played two games!!

It’s like some people can’t find anything to moan about because we’ve won two games. 

Ahadme will be decent. 

There’s little evidence he will be awful - 2 games worth. There’s not a lot of evidence to say he will be decent . We will wait and see .  

4 games into the season and I can't quite tell what he brings. 

A lot of running but for the price tag I am far from convinced.

A very poor man’s Matt Svensson

Poor today, needs to get his touch sorted out as that's been consistently his biggest issue. Plenty of time
