Charman is one of those players who picks up so many long term knocks that he's got a different hairstyle every time you see him.

If he is fit though then he's one of the more gifted attacking players in our squad of seven so far.

Can be very frustrating at times ,can beat a man then he'll turn back and try and do it again instead of putting a cross in.

Agree can be frustrating . As said can beat one or 2 men but holds back for some reason for a second or two . Same in the box can turn one or 2 and instead of shooting as soon as there is an opportunity allows the defender to rob him of the ball at the last second . I think this year needs to be more ruthless . Best his man look up cross. In the box Bertha man and shoot immediately. Needs to be more clinical and ruthless . I believe he has the ability to.

You get a bit of wing n forward play out of him previously.
Needs to be coached to just play one role.
I'd play him centre forward with 2 up front and have 2 proper wingers.

Old fashioned method I know but reckon that's the best solution to up our points tally on last season.

Bollocks to this 1 up front n wingback shit.

Thats how you play this high intensity fit as Fcuk style Football Clarky wants. :lol:

There's a lot worse than him that's been shown the door.
We just got to trust Clarky reason to keep him.

Looks like it's Gunna be the worst division 5 ever so a great opportunity to actually put a decent challenge in and hit the top 7 which should be the minimum target.

UTP.

If Clark gets the players he wants, Charman will be used as an impact sub, I reckon . Doubt he will be a regular starter..

his heart is in the right place as well. just a pity he is a bit irratic on the pitch and once he seems to hit a bit of form he gets an injury that keeps him out for weeks on end.

Charman will run and work hard for the team, ideal player to bring the intensity we are now looking for. He may not start every game and he needs to improve his end product but he’s a good player to bring on when opposition legs are getting tired.

we need 22 players to fight for places in the starting line up and the bench. not all will be first on clarkies team sheet but we need players like c harman to fill the bench and make some impact in the game and not just there to make the numbers up.

He was offered a deal the same as Hunter and Darcy so it's fair enough that he's decided to accept. I'm surprised the other two haven't yet TBH.

The best thing about Charman is that he works his nuts off and whoever marks him will know they've been in a game. His end product could be a lot better but 3 goals and 4 assists in 17 starts isn't terrible.
