    Leaburn for his size has to score the two chances he had this week and the difference that would have to both games people blame the manager but what can he do when 6 foot plus striker misses two golden chances in two days .. if Dykes was playing we would be celebrating 6 points this week

    Those saying Leaburn would do better with more service, he's been getting some service but struggles to even hit the target with it. 
    He either needs a goalscorer next to him or to come out of the side. 
    He’s not getting loads of service though is he .  Jones or the next manager need to find a way to get him, Campbell and Kelman into the same side

    Play leaburn to his strengths? We have put it on his head twice in the past two games, and he has put it over bar! Twice! 
    That's playing to his physique, not his strengths. 
    Fair point! Even i think he should play right wing and not up front!

    When you're a central striker you can't start 29 matches without a goal; outside the box his game has improved but in the box he just doesn't seem to have the confidence or the instinct to snap up chances on the deck or the ball in the air from Mesik which he should've buried.

    I/we desperately want him to score or assist a goal but Charlton just can't afford a number '9' who doesn't score.

    It looks like he needs a twin striker who is a penalty area sniffer of chances like Kelman or Godden (when fit) or else Miles goes back to the bench for a while.

    I think the reason he looks good on the right is because he’s usually facing a centre back drawn out of position. Against a full back I think he’d look less impressive

    0 goals in 30 starting games tells me even with some service he isn't going to be the most profitable. 
    Dykes offered a lot more playing the same role last season.

    He’s not a striker we can all see that by now

    It’s like déjà vu with how we talked about his father until he found his rhythm. 

    I’d use him from the bench for a couple of games to see how we can mix it up a bit.
