gator 2,957 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I wish he went to QPR as was rumoured, it could have been the perfect situation for him, who knows how deals happen and with @spitfire having connections at Charlton this move made sense, my Charlton friends are sure happy he is there! A League One side in a promotion race or a Championship team in a relegation scrap, tough to now what the best experience would be, I will say some of the top sides in the Championship are obviously much better than what he will go up against in Lg1!

Unnamed Trialist 6,226 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I also agree with most here that it is clear he is a high level on a better than average team in League One. Fine for him to get minutes, but the problem is that it proves too little for his future at Liverpool. No EPL team can take even the best League One performances and extrapolate them for an EPL future. Sorry to say this, but I do believe it. Given his age and total comfort at Charlton doing what he does best, I'm pretty sure that he has a Championship future at least for next season. Now if you are 21 and doing well in Championship, then sure, your home club can bring you back in for your potential to take the step up to the first team at Liverpool. For now I appreciate he has to enjoy himself, I mean that quite seriously, just enjoy competitive football, stay healthy, and not think too much about what happens when the loan period ends. narduch, The Real Marc, Obinna and 4 others 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This holds true for most, but there are some examples i.e. Dele Alli. Link to post Share on other sites

If you go online and look at lists of players who have scored in the top four divisions, his name does not appear. Even threads or articles that are fairly recent. Do we have confirmation he scored in official matches in all 4? Link to post Share on other sites

An Observer 875 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Looking at his wiki page, I think he skipped league 2 and went from the conference to league 1 with gillingham. But when at Walsall he was loaned to Grimsby town who was in league 2 at the time and it says he had one goal for them. assuming league play and not cup, that would mean he scored in all 5 Link to post Share on other sites

For anyone else like me that is confused by that table, on the actual webpage those 0's and ?'s don't show up. So by 2nd to last column, he means the 20, 14, 13, 3. And LET is League Two, LEO is League One, CHA is Championship, and PRL is Premier League. So my claim earlier was correct! https://int.soccerway.com/players/simeon-jackson/50554/ An Observer and MM3/MM2/MM 2 Link to post Share on other sites

cronaldo7 543 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Liam starting on the bench vs Portsmouth and the fans are very confused/upset. Just an example of a few comments. He's become a really important player for them. johnyb 1 Link to post Share on other sites
spitfire 3,549 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 He’s started 6 games in a row in just over 3 weeks. They are managing his fitness/ recovery which is good man management .... Should come on in the 2nd half... hope to make an impact Nice from the fans!!! Obinna, johnyb, NVsoccer and 10 others 13 Link to post Share on other sites
narduch 3,563 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Yup. English leagues are a grind with so many matches (24 team leagues). It makes sense to rest players sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
calgaryaddick 9 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi all, Charlton fan here, there is some thought too that as the game was cancelled on Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch, it may not be much better today. The conditions may not favour his style. Does not seem to be a performance issue. WyattTaylor, narduch, JamboAl and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites

El Diego 1,029 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Just going off SofaScore, looks like Charlton are playing a narrow formation. Could be specific to opposition? In any case, the stats indicate that they're not playing well so perhaps a change in personnel and system at half? Link to post Share on other sites
El Diego 1,029 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Millar indeed on at half ETA: Interestingly, Charlton appear to be sticking with their 4312 formation and Millar is playing behind the strikers ETA (again!): Millar on the left wing now for the final 23 or so minutes Dominic94 1 Link to post Share on other sites
