    Alfie May has promised the true story surrounding his Charlton Athletic exit will eventually come out after being subjected to abuse since swapping The Valley for St Andrew’s.

    I bet it will be as damaging as the true story behind Diego Poyets exit, boy I can’t wait for that one…

    May 106 minutes per goal.
    Godden 105 minutes per goal.

  • Selling Alfie for nearly a million at his age was never bad business for us, the questionable business is spending that money on Ahadme which is still a big question mark.

    Praps he comes good in the new formation?
    Doubt it though...
  • Was Alfie injured when he came off yesterday?

    Didn’t appear to be. Only thing injured was his ego.

    Strikers getting subbed at half time not injured is not a good look, Alfie didn’t like it when he used to get subbed for us at about 65 minutes, 
    but then you can’t have players picking the team I guess.

    I'll be interested to see how this works out for him , it's clear Stansfield is the main #9 for them and Willumson they spent big money on to be a No10 , they've also got the likes of Marc Leonard , Emil Hansson and Scott Wright who could operate off of Stansfield too. 

    His bank account might be the only winner here if he's getting hooked at HT.

    He didn't get going for them today, but don't think he should be written off this season for them. Give him the chances he will score and he still scored a few already.

    Didn’t seem interested once Ramsay cut him in half

    May wasn't getting any joy yesterday but I thought it was an error bringing him off. Yes, he wasn't in the game but nor were any of their forwards. We know May can be dangerous at any time and it gave us a psychological lift when he was subbed. Like we had won a small victory.

    It doesn’t look so bad when it probably paid for Godden and Dixon too.

    In Godden we’ve got a similar type of player but one who Jones gets on with, and in Dixon a good prospect.

    If we play better football like we did yesterday we may also get more out of Ahadme.

    Who was he using his Mrs and kids as an excuse to protect then? Jones? Or his own desire to earn more dough?

    Struggle with the idea that someone would bring their family into something so public, if it weren't genuinely the case at all. In fact, I'd expect it to be the polar opposite and make other excuses to protect your family, if they were the reason

    Godden 3 goals 

    The random digging out of May after we played well is very strange. Especially after we've had to sit through Kanu missing an open goal and the rest of the 'performances' this season up front from our striking collective. 
  • But I still think if Jones was given the option of spending @£750K and keeping May as well, he would have done so.
    He surely sold May because otherwise he would have an @zero transfer fund.

    Would be good to know that but I expect we'll not find out for years if ever.

    Thanks for reminding us that May’s played more minutes than Godden has.

    Both very good forwards at League One level. One has proved he can score at the level above as well…

    Pretty damning that Godden has been sitting behind Ahadme and a winger in our pecking order. 

    May is battling with a £15m striker on the other hand.

    Started the season with a head injury otherwise probably would’ve been starting at Wigan. 

    It’s been one of my biggest issues with Jones so far this season that he didn’t turn to our most clinical striker sooner but now that Matty’s got 2 in 2, I can’t see him being dropped for a while.

    I'm still waiting for Diego Poyet's true story.

    Our former players always seem to score against us....so I fully expect him to score on the weekend against us.
    On brand for me...as always, my prediction was wrong! Don't take betting tips from me is all I'm saying.  :D

    Read back over the last week, and pre game, I mentioned about Godden record being as good as May’s this time last year.. and number of fans mention we haven’t signed anyone that has replaced May’s goals.. as it stands, with Godden record, I believe we have, if we have created enough chances for him. May would have struggled for goals in this style of football.
    Nice for you to pop in again!
