They are/were on international duty weren’t they?

Aye, they've got the biggest game in the history of Indonesian football on June 5th.

I highly doubt they were going to be roped into some kickabout against some lower midtable Premiership team!

Danny Hylton released by Charlton

A player we should be looking to sign.

Ledson signs for Huddersfield.

I'm assuming that's a Whoosh, unless you want him as a coach or mascot.

Signing 36 year old strikers who have scored five goals total in the past six seasons is not an obvious route to success, however good they were a decade ago!

As a coach, most certainly, I’d agree.

I was just continuing the glamour of signing ex players who did well for us in our league 2 promotion.

Yes but it’s Danny f’ing Hylton!!

Love the idea of Hylt’s coaching style.

“Basically just run around like a dog on a beach, be a 100% shithouse, score lots of goals and always keep the combover under control.”

Basically just run around like a dog on a beach

Beyond accurate

There were goals he scored where he genuinely seemed confused how it had happened.

Tbf, I expect he's the same when he comes back from the kitchen with a cup of tea.

You haven’t a clue have you?

He’s been Charlton’s striker coach & player liaison officer all season and their fans are saying he made the difference between them getting promoted and another season in League 1.

I think you have taken @MJB post a bit too seriously.

My favourite thing about Danny Hylton is when he appeared to be devoid of energy and totally knackered and then produced a run out of nowhere.
I'm still sad he signed for Luton. Would have loved to watch him for a few more years.

Absolutely - not just a great player to watch (despite, as you say, him often looking knackered with his socks down by his ankles before immediately setting off on a lung-buster), but a great character.

One of my favourite ever players and didn’t begrudge his later success at Luton (despite it being Luton!)

A bit like Jake Wright from that period in that he probably should have been offered better terms to stay longer.

He used to look absolutely fucked walking in the pitch at the start but then would cover a ridiculous amount of ground, I used to enjoy having a tireless workhorse who looked like he had just turned up for a Sunday league game with a hangover, real throwback player.

That last sentence is so true. Was like a player from another era.

I don't remember there being much excitement when we signed him (i could be wrong) but he turned out to be a real gem.

Still a bit of a fan favourite I'd say

Was signed by Gary Waddock right? Or am I misremembering? That was a grim few months.

I think he was Waddocks only signing.

Pretty sure we only offered him one more year, and his kid was going to a new school, so he would not accept any less than 2.

Not much excitement is an understatement! And I include myself in that. There was not a lot in his track record plus he had been in a bit of bother for language that, let’s say, Nigel Farage would wince at.

But what a signing he turned out to be.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Danny Hylton and Chris Maguire.
Probably the best two sh*thousers we have ever had.

Both are available

Danny Hylton and Chris Maguire.
Probably the best two sh*thousers we have ever had.

And both released this week.

I've got John Durnin on the phone here.

 

[MJB]

I loved Hylt’s shithousery.

But Maguire was the MASTER.

 

[Norwich exile]

Charlie Raglan captains Oldham today at Wembley v Southend. Shows how quick fortunes can change in football as I can remember when we were regularly in the same league or below both teams in recent years. Pair of proper teams with great fanbases though

how can we watch it? it's only showing on DAZN, whatever that is

Costs £15 as well.
