Charlton are searching for a new finisher up top to replace Lyle Taylor and in this search, we are going to come across some players who don’t exactly suit our profile and after yesterday’s performance, it looks like Courtney Baker-Richardson is not the man for us.
Can you get 32/32 on this Charlton player of the year quiz? I bet you can’t, but feel free to prove me wrong!
The former Swansea City hasn’t got a prolific career behind him with just 3 goals in 17 game for Swansea City where he was released this season after spending a year on loan at Accrington Stanley.
Would you like Courtney Baker-Richardson at Charlton?
Yes
No
With Stanley a bottom to mid-table side in League One it’s not a good look that he only appeared twice in the whole time he was there, so for us looking to go back up this season I don’t think that the former Kettering and Nuneaton man is not the striker we are looking for.
His performance against Palace was not very good, his touches were not up to standard and nor was his finishing, I just don’t really see much potential in him and I don’t expect he will be on trial with us much longer, but if Bowyer and Gallen are seriously looking at him he will need to make a big improvement to impress them.
The Addicks fans had their say on Twitter about Baker-Richardson and here is what they had to say
Scored 1 in 3 at non-league level, not for me….. sounded rubbish at Palarse

No thanks

I know Lee and Jonny are good but I don’t think even they can work their magic here so it’s a no from me
