The fact we got no money for Lockyer has now passed me by because we have a complete centre back in Kilgour.. How refreshing is it to see him get the ball to feet and knocking balls around the pitch like a championship player and he’s only going to get better. I love seeing him in our back four and to me an upgrade from locks, Let’s hope he goes from strength to strength and we keep for a while.

Agree that Alfie is a great prospect. When he does, inevitably, leave us, I hope we get a really good fee plus sell on's etc.
Locks is getting good reviews from Charlton fans. Yes he has a mistake in him (what defender doesn't) but his positional sense and tackling are really good - plus he is probably benefiting from playing with better players around him. I still wonder whether he will ever be a leader, but as a no nonsense defender then he can go a long way. His tackle mid week v Forest was Tillsonesque.

Early days to say he's an upgrade. We don't yet know what his weaknesses are.
However, he has been immense so far and it's not difficult to see the potential for him to be the next big money departure. Hopefully not just yet though!

Old head on young shoulders. He has made a cracking start to the season and it’s even better when it’s a player that has come up through our youth system.
Keep it up Alfie!

Impressed with him today. Marshalled he snake for the short time the little rat was on the pitch, and managed to get him booked.
Didn't like the Blackthorn singing about partying when he's dead, that went too far me.

Agree, he’s been outstanding, I think the whole defence is starting to look a good unit, if we can get THD fit, it’ll look even better.

I wouldn’t go that far, but definitely very impressive and a great prospect.

Said it on Tuesday and I’ll say it again:
Alfie has the potential to be a Prem player IMO
Certainly a top championship defender at least

I say enjoy it whilst we can, if he carries on like this I agree with a previous post on this thread, destined for higher levels.

He looks a really good prospect and well done to darrell clarke for keeping him at the club after a serious injury but maybe a few more games before people make judgements v lockyer. Two other centre backs played well for rovers today as well.

Thing I’m loving about Alfie is he’s playing fantastically for us in defence yet also has a fantastic ball on him and gets our attacking players in promising positions.
Don’t think it’s a coincidence that since he’s been in the side we look a hell of a lot more dangerous

I’ve been very impressed by Kilgour so far. He’s composed, good on the ball and not a lot gets past him. Still a long way to go but he’s shown he can compete in this division and being still only 21, he will have big career ahead of him. When Coughlan said he had the makings of a future captain, he wasn’t wrong.

Nah should have got money for him regardless of Alfie. Still annoying.
Charlton fans absolutely love Tom already
