Terrific article - Paul Fletcher's usually are.  As one of the comments says, 10 goals in 13 games at any level is a great achievement - given where he came from its even more impressive.

Why? We at Poole knew he was good enough


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: Doore on Saturday, February 6, 2010, 20:50:39
Why?

As I said, 10 goals in 13 games is fantastic no matter who you are.  With no league experience and taking no time at all to settle in makes it an extra impressive achievement if you ask me.


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: stfcinbmth on Saturday, February 6, 2010, 20:58:15
Think his settling in period was for the reserves. Charlie just knows where the back of the net is, there's no messing. He's just done superbly well and as a supporter of Poole and Swindon it's just been fantastic for me personally.

It's just a shame more clubs don't look closer to home rather than just accepting cheap foreign imports


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: Doore on Saturday, February 6, 2010, 21:08:23
It does make you wonder how many other perfectly capable home grown players aren't getting their chance due to the massive influx of average players from all over the world.  I work with two blokes who are avid AFC Telford fans, and they often talk about players at their level who deserve a chance at professional football but get squeezed out.

What was up with him tonight? Sounded very quiet on the wireless.

Expectations BR - we now expect him to score at least once every game.  All players have quiet days.

interviewed his folks for Tuesday's programme, really nice people. His grandad says he finds it quite emotional when charlie's name is called out after he's scored cos he's been watching town for years.

I expected him to score two today to get his average back on track.

Ah well, three on Tuesday instead then  ;D

Hes worked hard...got himself a juicy contract..its now the hard work REALLY begins for him.
Yesterday the Charlton players were in his face..niggly little elbows and pushes in the back...it was getting to him...he is now a marked man.
Hes got to take that next step now and become a true profesional...look at Billy early in the season...he looked terrible and the fans were on his back....he got his head down and worked darned hard...this is what Charlie will have to learn now...hes been brilliant and he really could go all the way....lets hope he does.

Not saying it'll happen, but if Pericard's fit for Tuesday I can see him starting.


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: jonny72 on Sunday, February 7, 2010, 12:57:40
Don't know about Pericard starting, but if he'd been on the bench yesterday I reckon he could have been put on at half time. Whose place would he take though? From the few minutes I've seen of him he could play with Austin or Paynter - kind of a cross of the two.

No, he didnt.


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: jonny72 on Sunday, February 7, 2010, 14:56:22
No, he didnt.

I think you're memory is going. Paynter was dropped for 5 games running, after Revell joined us on loan and before Austin signed. I can't remember him being injured and he wasn't suspended - he was dropped due to form. His form wasn't bad at the start of the season but it wasn't as good as its been since Austin has been starting.


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: DV on Sunday, February 7, 2010, 15:07:08
He got dropped yes, that doesnt mean he was terrible.

I didnt at the time and still dont know why Wilson dropped him. Poor results for those 4 games as well.


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: BANGKOK RED on Sunday, February 7, 2010, 15:13:19
In Wilsons words, he was dropped because he was "Absolutely knackered"


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.

a few of them are looking tired in the latter stages of games.

He didn't start a game in a month, was he really that knackered?

You obviously didnt go to Walsall and Exeter away Dave...Billy was dire...in fact worse than terrible.
The rest and proverbial kick up the backside did wonders and DW has the balls to make such decisions...


Title: Re: Charlie Austin @ the BBC.
Post by: DV on Sunday, February 7, 2010, 22:13:56
I was at Exeter.

Fair from terrible. He wasn't great but terrible and worth dropping for Hutchinson and Revell - not a fucking chance.

He's been ace since he came back in. Who is say he wouldn't have been ace against Hartlepool, Millwall or Norwich and got us a couple of extra points?
