Charlton v Man City - Simon Royce in goal

[Curious Orange]

Is it a surprise that they lost?

 

[Curious Orange]

Seriously though, did anyone see the game? I caught the goals on Sky News and he looked out of position for all of them. Do you think Charlton are regretting the loss of Roberts?

 

[e block rebellion]

personally i think we got the better keeper

 

[Albion Edd]

i can't believe they got rid of Roberts and got Royce. I definitly think Roberts is the better keeper

 

[BrightonBird]

Only seen the highlights, but Man City are a very good team. They are "together" and Keegan is a great manager.. Wouldn't suprise me if they where a top 6 team this year. They have a great buy in Anelka and Keegan is the right man to massage his ego!

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Couldn't agree more. Royce did a job for us, but I'd far sooner have Roberts on our books.

Good thing it wasn't Peterson - would have been 7 nil.

 

[Beefy]

I saw loads of Charlton fans at Brighton station earlier.Looking depressed.

There's no doubt Roberts is a better keeper than Royce and Charlton did offer Roberts a new contract but he wanted first team football,and fair play to him for taking a pay cut to get that here.

 

[brighton rock]

where's that charton fan when you want him700 posts a day untill they get stuffed

 

[Beach Hut]

Probably pissing it up in a pub as it's his 18th today - first legal drinking day, bit of an anti-climax if I remember correctly for me.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Ironic really that if Roberts had signed, he probably would have been playing Premiership football now. Royce did a fine job for us when PT was in charge and helped us to our title, so lets not knock the guy, but no doubt about it, Roberts is far better.

 

[Braders]

Good thing it wasn't Peterson - would have been 7 nil.

only 7?

 

[bhaexpress]

Letting Roberts go is very much our gain. Royce is an adequet Division Two keeper at best.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Of all the keepers we've had over the last two seasons while Kuipers was injurred Roberts was by far the best. How Royce is playing in the Premiershite is beyond me.

 

[dunno]

Royce did make one very good save in that match against City

 

[CAFC Matt]

Royce was actually one of the best players on the pitch. The defence and midfield was awful. He made three or four really good saves.

Konchesky didn't make one pass successfully - no one is going to buy him

 

[Curious Orange]

That doesn't bode very well for Charlton. I'm sure Curbs will sort it out though.

 

[CAFC Matt]

Hope so otherwise we will be the Sunderland of this season
