That's good news, though I'm sure people will think otherwise.

Up the Albion!
We seem a bit thin on the ground in midfield so good news about Charlie.
Be glad to see Chippy back soon as well.
We could of done with his free kicks at Reading

I have a feeling Rodger isn't going to make it back - at least not as a permanent fixture in the side. Didn't he say he was going to give it a couple of months then quit if his knee wasn't up to it?
Charlie is always first to get a roasting when we lose but he does his job well. He's a grafter and a terrier and a character. He's done a brilliant job for us over the years and it's only when he's expected to ping the ball about like the playmaker he isn't that he's come unstuck.

I'm on record as stating I don't think Charlie is good enough for this division, but I must admit he was doing a bloody good job for us on Saturday before he picked up his injury, and the team suffered when he left the field. He was doing what he does best - getting in amongst it, putting his foot in and breaking up their rythm. Once he has the ball, as long as he does the simple things then we're ok, but he still does have a tendency to give it away cheaply to often.
If he can maintain the level of performance he showed on Saturday though, he can do a job for us.

the reason we suffered was because they put hinsh in the middle.

Fair comment, but it was a case of needs-must. We didn't have a whole lot of options on the bench to replace Charlie in the middle, and Hinsh was simply not as effective at breaking up their play.kinkygerbil said:
Oatway never has and never will be a creative midfielder who sprays the ball around, but in his limited capacity, he can be effective as a spoiler in the middle of the park. Thats not always going to be enough in this division, but he certainly won't get any grief from me if he plays like he did on Saturday.

Anyone else appreciate the irony in how Oatway got injured on Saturday?
He trod on the ball when trying to control it and f***ed over.

I fear for Jolly and am not convinced he will ever be the player he was after such a long lay off.

Charlie is in the team for a reason, granted he is not the most gifted player he'd probally be the first to admit that. He does a valuable job for the team in terms of shape and neutralising the threat of the opposing teams playmaker. He puts himself on the line for the club always gives more then 100% and never shys away from a challenge, he will alawys have his knockers but i for one appriceiate his contribution.
