I said a few weeks ago that it wouldn’t surprise me to see a player dedicated to marking Charles in some circumstances. It would leave the opposition a player short elsewhere on the pitch but who would the opposition rather see playing an out ball - Charles or Jimmy Dunne? It would be unprecedented but for a 10 or 15 minute experiment during a game it might be effective as so many of our attacking opportunities begin with Charles.

Rather sad. Hope he can get his career going.

I’d be interested to know how Charles’ style of play has impacted on Ward and Salomon. Whether they have improved as goalkeepers as a result. If they are training to emulate him (tough ask) so that it impacts us less should he get i*ju*ed and also looking forward to next season when Charles is unlikely to still be here.

A very comfortable win against a very poor team. You could view the second half as a team cruising to a comfortable win and managing their energy levels in a 3 game week. Or you could view it as a team that just completely switched off and could barely string two passes together in a very frustrating performance that allowed a team, 3 nil down, to dominate. I know which one I think it was.

Thought Varane looked like a different player (in a good way) when he came on.
I’m getting rather exasperated watching yet another game pass Kwame Poku by. He doesn’t do nearly enough for me. I think he’s capable of a lot more.


ps. Yes I am happy that we won.

Pleased Vale scored. Hopefully it’ll do wonders for his confidence because at times this season the ball and him have looked like strangers.

We seemed to have switched off after the 3rd which is a bit frustrating. I hope we can rediscover a bit more energy in the second half. We could see a cricket score.

I hope we can sell him in January and promote Alemeyhu to the bench.

Game stopped at the New Den for 5 minutes because of racist language from the stands. Well I never.

If Derby are playing an ageing 4th choice left back I can’t think that Poku will have many better opportunities (if he plays of course) to shine. He’s been a massive disappointment since he signed and it’s about time he was a bit more aggressive in the attack and put in a MOTM performance.

Why Esquerdinha seem happy to stay and be bouncing around the DS I have no idea.

Birmingham on Saturday will have had a days extra rest and two home games on the bounce.

Fortunately Dionne Sanderson is fit and likely to start, which is even more encouraging.

Just seen that we’ve signed Oisin McDonagh to the Development Squad. I saw him play against the PFA team and he looked very good. I’m surprised it’s taken us this long to sign him up and I’m not aware that he played any other games on trial. Still, happy he’s here.

Wait til it’s announced that Pierce Charles has a double hand fracture after punching a goal post in celebration following his double save. It’d be just our luck!

And Bennie scores for Dundee Utd.

Pearman yet again not in the match day squad. Holloway may be out the door at Swindon soon though
