Yes, I think Charles likes to sit and view the game and time his runs forwards. The problem with that is that we lack pressing bite.
I think Charles is an excellent player, but the Downes / Jander combo is more effective, with Charles coming on if we need a goal.
Wood is a funny one. Solid enough Champ defender but passing isn’t precise enough, really, and often takes a touch too many. That said, he's done pretty well this season. Stephens brings more assurance and leadership, and is more accomplished with the ball.
