' Unacceptable '

Charlton boss brands Omar Bogle's performance 'unacceptable'

Charlton manager Lee Bowyer has branded Omar Bogle's performance in the 4-2 defeat by Burton as 'unacceptable'.

The former Bluebirds striker, who left the club after his contract expired in the summer before signing for the Addicks, was hooked just after the half-hour mark in Charlton's last outing and Bowyer did not hold back in his criticism.

He told the South London Press: "Everything starts from the top, for me. The way we press, your striker needs to hold the ball up to allow you to get out of your half.

"Omar was sloppy and it started from him with the first ball up to him, he went to pass it to Ian (Maatsen) and it went straight out for a goal-kick. It wasn’t even a difficult pass. We were breaking and couldn’t get into the game from there.

"Everything he did came off badly – for him and us. He didn’t hold the ball up, he lost everything and didn’t work hard out of possession. We put crosses into the box and he wasn’t trying to get into the right areas to score. So it was a combination of things. That ain’t acceptable."

He added: "If you think you can just turn up and stroll around, that will never work. You’ll never play under me doing that."

Rare you see a manager dig out a player like that. Must have a dislike for him.

Didn't think he was all that with us mind, he seemed to score a couple for us at the beginning of last season, but then following a good spell he'd be benched the next game. So can't be a very popular guy.

Would have thought he should be ok in league one but maybe he isn't up to that standard. Scored loads in the National league and league two and it looks like he might end up back there. Started off at Solihull Moors and might end up back there.

Bowyer needs to post this quote to Harris,if players dont put in the effort,then hook em! Simple but the truth!

Always thought he did ok whenever he played for us. Seemed to be quite a regular scorer but never given much of a chance.

At least the manager is being honest , maybe the players should be as equally honest with the manager and call him out for being a crap manager, zero tactics and a negative influence wherever he goes
