Chris Powell

Chris Powell was on Sky Sports news earlier today.
He's been released by Charlton and is looking for a club so he can keep playing for one more year thus continuing his PFA work.

Could he be the experienced head we need at the back?

I saw this earlier myself and was thinking the same thing.He looked pretty fit and claimed to be in the interview.He's 38 but could be a good experienced addition to our squad,and i only thik he's looking for a 1 year deal:fishing:
 

Chris Powell

Left back though, not a position we're lacking in
 

Chris Powell

He's almost the same, in years, as the sum of our 2 Left Backs together!
 

Chris Powell

bit small for a CB and pace maybe gone a bit. Left back as above says though is a posiiton we are sorted for.
 

Chris Powell

I don't know what people are expecting but I thought Dickson did very well at left back last season and i expect him to continue there.
 

Chris Powell

Yes, yes, he will be committed and won't just be there to protect his move into the mid-life crisis :sorted:
 

Chris Powell

I think that we could really use his experience and, by all accounts, he is a model pro. As long as his wages are not exorbitant then I'd be happy.
 

Chris Powell

We're so well covered at LB we had to play a trialist out of position there! :D :fishing:
 

Chris Powell

If Johnson signs we have three players that can fill the role. In that case there's no need to look to Powell.

We've not seen Wood play and Dickson's really a left winger... :shrug:

I wouldn't mind having at least one dedicated LB at the club..

Yes we have, he played against Ipswich and looked OK as a left sided midfielder, I think Poole needs to keep looking over his shoulder
as Wood showed more commitment than Poole, mind you that's not hard ?

That old chestnut. His commitment to scoring lots of quality goals is ok by you i take it.

Actually thought that of all the players in the 1st half, he looked the poorest. Did he contribute anything constructive in the 1st half or keep up with Ipswich full back, Casement, who looked quite decent. :confused:
Think he has a bit to learn yet before getting anywhere near a league starting XI.
Poole played more inside in the 2nd half in a diamond formation and made some telling passes and nearly got on the scoresheet.

Wood looked like a left back playing left wing. The Poole knocking has got ridiculous IMO

:thetruth:

It's a choice between Poole and Dickson on the left midfield most likely and Dickson/Wood for Left Back but competition for places is a good thing

Barring injury, I don't think there's much competition at the start of the season: Dickson LB, Poole LM. Wood may come into things as the season progresses, but I doubt if he will be challenging them for a place in August... no problems with us signing him, but it will take him a while to get up to league level IMHO

With Millwall signing Tony Caig from Palace, any chance that Frampton could come back and play CB?

Did you forget the :fishing: ?

Generally a decent LB, but a moderate/poor CB IMHO, and wage expectations that wouldn't fit in
 

Chris Powell

****ing humiliating, innit, having that kind of pedigree and being made to try out by ****ing Conference-fodder.
 

Chris Powell

Out of interest, wasn't this bloke going into coaching with Charlton with a view that he may be their future manager? That idea obviously fell on its ar*e.

dont want him
people forget how many times he fell over and gave silly goals away.
He was incompetent to say the least .
Johnson is playing well at the moment and there is Ryan Dickson who we should be able to play in midfield now.
