    It was a pile on. These are two different things. He had a bad game and a lot of people absolutely went for him and not because they were anticipating him failing to turn up for training. It was over the top. 
    Now he has apparently shown himself to be a knob, so fair enough; fill your boots. Might be time for a new avatar.

    If he was semi brought in to help Sichenje acclimatise, he's out for the season anyway now too, so regardless of the AWOL bit unless he was outstanding I would have expected him to be sent back in Jan anyway

    Yohann Thuram only played 4 games and I think he comfortably goes down as the worse keeper in Charlton History. There’s bad games then there’s Ouma who in 186 mins of football has made 3 errors for goals arguably could have done better for a 4th and been overall awful. 

    Pile on or not it’s absolutely been deserved, I don’t even think Michael Hector was making that many errors for goals at that rate and Ouma is a midfielder which statistically your least likely to have a mistake punished

    I don't believe the guff about Ouma being one we'd been keeping tabs on for a while. It's pretty obvious that he was a panic signing and the only 'scouting' done on him was the YouTube video we all saw.

    Wonder if the club is willing to give me a new shirt since I got one with OUMA 16 on the back... 
    If we sign Kurt Zouma in January,  you just need to add a Z...

    Given our financial constraints, I doubt that we can afford to sign players to provide companionship for others.

    He was a gamble and that hasn’t come off. I’d say mesik and (despite injuries) sichenje were also gambles and came off and they’ll both only get better.

    sometimes they just don’t come off, spine of our team, especially our defence is still very solid. It’s just releasing docherty kind of compounds the mistake here slightly.

    On balance feels like most our signings were panic etc this year! 😂

    All players are a gamble in some form, but not all of them go on holiday when they are picked to play for their national team.
    If he carries on like this he'll look back on his career where he had some talent to earn decent money but f***** it up.
    My Elfsborg mates said that he kept bad company whilst out there.

    Why does this club continually seem to believe it can polish turds?

    The amount we've had in for polishing over the past 4 seasons makes the mind boggle!
    Shocker as football club with low budget tries to develop rough diamonds - more as we have it 
    Other teams in limited budget have done it. Portsmouth, Cardiff, Oxford to an extent. 

    We don’t recruit well, for whatever reasons we fail to attract the right players to the club 
    Agreed. What we wouldn't give for a Kayne Ramsay, a Lloyd Jones, a Josh Edwards, a Conor Coventry, a Billy Koumetio, a Sonny Carey. One day maybe
    As opposed to a 
    Rob Apter 
    Harvey Knibbs 
    Timothy Ouma 
    Dan Potts 
    Allan Campbell 
    Kezenga Lua lua 
    Onel Hernandez 
    Tanto Oloafe 


    Potts, Campbell, Lua Lua and Hernandez were all short term punts and were suitably released at the earliest opportunity. Ouma was also a punt, hence why he was signed on loan with an option to buy. So that leaves Apter, Knibbs and Olaofe.
    However much I'd like to let's not forget Ahadme  :'(
    I had completely forgotten where Ahadme was on loan this season but see he got an 82nd minute winner for Cambridge against 10-man Blackpool on Saturday.

    You need to read the loan watch thread 😉

    Haha, to be fair Luton were linked with him when Chapple was there.

    This really doesn't surprise me. Probably a pivot when other main targets didn't happen and he was someone Chapple had obviously known about.

    But that might imply we want him found…

    We surely don't have to pay him in these circumstances so might be a good thing.

    Doc was a limited footballer but gave everything he had, even playing on with a torn groin and helping us get over the line in the last couple of games in the previous season. To think he was released to be replaced by this character doesn't sit well with me. 
    Yeah that’s a sore one. It’s a shame we can’t claim some sort of extenuating circumstances to bin Ouma off and get a squad place back

    Odd that no statement has been given.  You can only assume he’s back training with the team and the club don’t want to draw attention to it

    Given that Jones does not take any s*** I'll be amazed if we see Ouma back at Sparrows Lane and we're in talks over sending him back.

    THEN we'll see a feeble post on the site revealing nothing.

    Think this is it exactly. Don't expect to ever see him in a Charlton shirt again and we're just sorting out the legals about terminating the loan.

    Hopefully we didn't sign him for a season loan. Anybody know if we can return him in Jan?

    It is a season long loan but these things usually have a break clause in January
