I always said he was rubbish!!! Good on ya Charlie hope you have a great time in the Championship, says a lot about us and our coaching set up in recent years but maybe under Coxy and Lillis things will change.
you have got to praise Northampton, just shows what having a decent manager and coaching staff make.
Well put MisteronMick.
Was one of the few who showed that losing hurt, unlike the posers who took the money and did not care. Said before – 4 yrs work invested and then given away.
and we have a decent sell on according to Charlie Wilson.
Interesting that Charlie “knows” when the ST seem to get little info from the club?
Also I’m in the same camp as DSGM, do you have enough humble pie to go round in case we need it?
I always said we should have played him instead of McArdle. Goode had pace, decent passer and was always decent in the air. All he needed was somebody at GP to have faith in him and play him.
Similar thing happened with Godden. No doubt we should have signed him up on a lengthy contract and loaned him out to get games.
We really need to stop doing this. Hopefully with Cox and Lillis here now we won’t do such stupid things.
Godden was bloody hopeless here, we’ve let a lot more go with more promise than him, some players don’t shine at certain clubs, Paul Hayes was one good here and Wycombe shite everywhere else.
Hardly any of our defenders have shone in the lost few years (the likes of Townsend and Wallace excluded). Maybe it’s a lot to do with them not having much faith in the person behind them? Pro’s often say this.
I’m glad WG is back with his pearls of wisdom. With Bucks out of the picture this forum was getting a bit stale with no-one exasperated by another poster’s opinions.
Charlie was a victim of the over paid over rated mccardle, I said Charlie got the Shitty end of the stick and he should have stayed and mccardle should have gone. Even when mccardle started to play better Charlie was the better prospect, and as Many have said on here once a manager trusted him, believed in him and played him he flourished. so good luck to him Going to a club that is looking up and moving to a fantastic new stadium.
Matt was by far and away the most gifted striker we had at the time, if you saw him in training he would score goals that you would think you should be in the premier league mate.
But for one reason or another he never carried his training ground ability on to the pitch for us, the main one IMO was he was home sick. he was born in Canterbury so when he went to ebbsfleet he was near home relaxed and flourished then once he was that little bit older he was able to move a to other clubs and be more settled.
