(Chelsea) is powerful, disciplined, well-organized and they have got so many match-winners. If you don't make a mistake like we did for the first goal, they have so much quality that can change a game on its head which is difficult for everybody else. |
[The England speculation] is a bit of a problem when you are trying to go about the business of managing Charlton. |
[The transfer situation] is one of the matters the club is worried about. We have 42 points now, which is probably enough to start thinking about next year. We will have to see if it has any effect on us. I could understand why a player we had targeted would be worried about the uncertainty over who will be manager next season. |
A credit to his profession. |
Arsenal paid a lot of money for him a few years ago but he found it difficult to claim a first-team place because of the competition at Arsenal. |
As far as I'm concerned Darren has just got to keep in Eriksson's face. I don't mean by scoring every week or getting to 20 goals, he just has to perform well and try to improve his game. There are going to be games when he isn't going to score so he has to contribute more in other ways. If he can do that it is only going to enhance his position. |
Claus had one year remaining on his contract and made it clear that he didn't wish to renew his deal as he felt that he needed a new challenge. |
Danny didn't always do that well last season but he needed someone to believe in him. We kept faith and he's now really fit and determined. |
Danny is a player we have been tracking for some time, but he only became available last week, |
Darren made one and scored one but it is a learning curve. He has got to think about how to get into games when things are not going so well. |
For a variety of reasons they haven't been playing regularly so it's time to see if they can get a loan move and get back in the swing of things. |
He has come here to gain experience, and nothing can happen until December anyway. I believe Gary Neville has played in the reserves this week, so I am sure he will be back soon, and someone else will go over the other side. |
He has looked quite sharp in training, although everybody has to be fair. The players in recent weeks have given me everything to turn things around ? and that's something that wouldn't go amiss against Chelsea. |
He hasn't been right since he signed in January. So we'll shut him down and make sure he gets himself fit for next season. |
He is a local ref and perhaps it is something we have to look at. |
