    Out of our whole squad the only player I would be proper nervous about seeing come on is A.Micthell, he's got a Naby Sarr moment in him, and not an amazing cross field ball...

    Hopefully that'll be the kind of BeckenSarr moment that he shew in the game against Burton where he broke up the Albion attack, turned and brought the ball upfield before playing a very good ball out to Watson on the right wing, who then provided a peach of a through ball for Sniffer Dog's first goal.

    Or the moment in the second half of the same game when he headed home ConCov's pin-point cross.

    Just for once, how about we focus on the good things that our players bring to the side instead of calling out a Mitchell mistake, TC not being effective recently, Anderson not being suited to our midfield and hopeless on the ball etc.
    Wasn't calling him out just saying he makes me a bit nervous...and tbf hes had more than just one mistake in him that has cost us.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but what do we think about VAR being used in the final ?  I’m not a fan personally. Most decisions seem to take an eternity to reach & even then not come to a correct decision. I can see a penalty being given in the game, particularly with all the holding & grappling that goes on at corners. Hopefully that goes our way but this game could turn on a dodgy VAR decision. 
    It's not true that most of time the decision is wrong. You just get to hear about it more if it's controversially wrong.  Agree about the delays though, and common sense is often removed. A drip of sweat hanging off the end of someone's nose shouldn't make them offside for example. 

    Edit. As previously posted, I don't mind it being used on Sunday.
    But it should NEVER be wrong. It uses video EVIDENCE. 

    If the people who dreamt up and use VAR worked in law enforcement then I’d be frightened to leave the house.

    Palace won the FA Cup in large part to VAR being unfit for purpose.  

    I’m disappointed that I will have to attend a match with such nonsense interference. 
      As Rooney rightly said: just get rid of it.

    Going to post something similar to this tomorrow (a guess who game on Charlton players) but I'm switching it up a bit.

    If anyone wants to watch something Charlton related, I asked 11 different Charlton groups/individuals to help build an all-time Charlton fantasy XI, thoughts?

    That bloke on Taylor is ole enough to have seen Mendonca, Hunt, Bent, Di Canio. 

    Whatever you think of Parker, he’s number one in midfield. I can’t deal with the Song and Coquelin picks. 

    Probably could have done with asking some older fans too. 
    Picking an all time Charlton team is only possible if you also talk to the older folks, like my Dad who’s 93. Once they are gone, we’ll have to rely on books or videos of them speaking because the bits of video evidence are scratchy.

    If someone even suggested Lyle Taylor or Coquelin then you may as well ask Benny Hill or Ken Dodd.
    Agreed.

    I see your point mate, but, this was 11 random groups, so I was always expecting random results. 

    I think the bloke who selected Taylor, may be a fairly new supporter as he said "my best experiences" not speaking on behalf of the club.

    Coquelin and Song I got in suppose cause of what they did after their short loans at Charlton. 

    I'll ask some older folks next time, but there was a few there.

    I've done my fantasy XI on a Charlton podcast before, based on a mix of what I've seen and heard, and here's what mine looked like:

    That team is horrible. 

    Mark Fish instead of Rufus

    Kish instead of Kinsella 

    Lookman instead  of Lee

    No Costa 
    No Simonsen 
    No Hales.

    I could go on.

    Oh totally get that, and all our teams will be completely different based on how long we’ve been a supporter. Some of those mentioned wouldn’t typically be anywhere near any fantasy XI of Charlton, that’s all. 

    P.S not a bad team from yourself. Maybe the fantasy XI deserves its own thread (although sure it’s been discussed here plenty of times!)

    I preferred Fish as a kid, ditto Kish. 

    I never saw Simonsen play, never saw Hales play. 

    I tried to mix it up. I've never seen Bartram obviously but he's our record holder. Gomez and Lookman for how well they did here and their ceilings. 

    That is not a horrible team either way though! I could only dream of a Charlton team this good now 😂

    This would be mine from 1992 onward that I've seen. I can already here screams for John Humphreys, Andy Hunt, Di Canio etc...not to mention Hales, Flanagan, Simonsen from older generations. I suppose this what the Hall of Fame is for.

    Hales in place of D Bent...but an all time great Charlton team is a nigh impossible task, and totally subjective, I mean, Flannagan, Colin Powell, G Stuart.....
