Chelsea fans sites have picked up on the fact that Charlton fans are furious about the sudden recall of Connor Gallagher, a move that stunned already shell shocked supremo Lee Bowyer: Charlton fans fuming.
The site linked to above commented: 'It seems a bizarre decision from Chelsea to disrupt the deep-lying playmaker during a loan where he was earning regular minutes and developing his game, but they have clearly spotted something. Charlton are 19th-placed in the Championship table and perhaps Frank Lampard’s side feel he could continue improving at a higher level.'
One comment I have seen online was that it was felt that when Gallagher started at Charlton there was a more mature and impressive side, but he was now surrounded by 'youth' players. This strikes me as rather patronising, but because of our thin squad (thank you, Roland) and our injury crisis, we are playing several Academy players whose main experience up to now has been with non-league clubs. They have performed very well, but it may not be a good look from a Chelsea perspective.
The SLP's Richard Cawley has called the decision 'a proper kick in the nuts.' That about sums it up and we have a real challenge in putting together a team for the trip to Preston on Saturday.
