Have you seen Akpo is injured again and set to miss the start of the season at Hibs!! Oh how well we have done to get young promising consistant players, Ones that are not injured for over half the season like a good 3 or 4 players last term COYR

    As ooh aah says don't count your Chickens.

    Check out Wiggins and Taylors injury records and Evina is injured as well.

    Looking very promising at the moment but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

    Although they are younger than Akpo, so hopefully recover quicker (hopefully being the operative word.)

    We seemed to have do many players injured all the time last season it has to be better! Especially with this new guy from Southend onboard. We do need another Striker however.

    I'd be pretty surprised if we go all season without at least one player missing a substantial chunk of it through injury.

    Ofcourse their will be inures I am not naive enough to think that however I feel last year we had a serious problem with long term injuries. I am hoping for better times this year with the new bloke sorting the fitness.

    Hard working player but never going to set the world alight with ability. Really don't see Preston going anywhere soon.

    On of my worst ever charlton players. Appealing first touch.

    However, scored 4 in 3 for Preston per season apparently.

    Better first touch than Killer but neither's game was about playing with their back to goal and bringing others into the game.

    He's alright.

    Not the most gifted footballer we've had down the valley but by no means the worst!

    I thought he was going to be the dogs gonads after THAT game in the rain at Yeovil .............how wrong I was !!

    A timely reminder, whilst we're all moaning (me included), of what life was like not so long ago.

    OK, so we haven't necessarily got a squad to seriously challenge but we have got one to have a good shot at consolidation - if we'd have fluked promotion a couple of years ago I don't think we would have been able to say that.

    His goal at Yeovil will stick long in the memory bank.

    Hardworking honest player at the level we were at the time.

    Would get a clap from me if he returned to The Valley as an opponent or as a guest.

    I was so excited when he signed. Hard working and battled for the cause, but never really did it for us.

    Never went missing just not good enough to get us promoted at the time.

    his first touch was anything but appealing. I assume you mean appalling though, and it certainly was. Will never forget he gave it his all though and I believe he genuinely cared for the club, his celebrations told me that. Good luck to him

    He managed to raise the roof of The Valley by scoring that goal V Leeds. So for that alone he's alright.

    The goals against Yeovil and Leeds make him a legend. Think he's a very good L1 player on his day.

    Imagine him and Euell in a keep ball competition!!

    A player of limited ability who would walk through walls for the cause, when I see a player like him I think of marcus bent and what a waste of space he was

    Was a very big fan of his brother Sam as well. Still think he would be good enough for our squad now actually.

    Sam Sodje was released by Notts County at the end of last season & is still without a club as far as I am aware

    Why do so many always find it so hard to have a good word to say about our ex players?

    Showed he cared and was willing to play for the team in the 9 man game against Swindon where he did not stop running and chasing down despite it being a waste with such an advantage for them.

    That era is perhaps summed up by Sodje S, Sodje A and Forster all playing non-league for Margate a few years back.

    All three subsequently proved themselves better than that but it gives an idea of the depths to which we plummeted.
