Who is your scapegoat player?

Keith Jones, to whom I dedicated a book

Charlton fans like to have a scapegoat player.  My father used to think that 'Squib' Hammond was not up to much, but I thought he played his part in the midfield engine room.

I remember when it was Keith Jones whose kit I sponsored. People objected to him passing the ball sideways, but he was supposed to be a defensive midfielder.  When he stepped up to take his penalty at the Greatest Game people around me shouted 'Not him', but he scored.

In his latest blog, the Chicago Addick assesses Conor Coventry who was an unused substitute for Ireland in their 5-0 defeat.

However, perhaps it is the Gasman who has disappointed most this season.   Here a fan analyst [?] discusses his contribution: https://soccer4u.co.uk/?p=12255

Three way interest in Keith Andrews

Charlton are one of three clubs expressing an interest in 31-year old Irish defensive midfielder Keith Andrews: Andrews

Andrews was signed on a six month contract with the Baggies in January after a peripatetic career. He has found the net for West Brom and put in some solid performances, but everything is on hold at The Hawthorns until a new manager is appointed who can run the rule over him. In the meantime Celtic have also expressed an interest.

I am not saying that this will come to anything, but it is a realistic piece of speculation in the sense that he would be on a free and would probably not be able to demand massive wages if West Brom let him go. The new Keith Jones?
