Hope there a lot of people tonight holding their heads in shame and eatiing their words the abuse he got because he was signed by RD was pathetic by pathetic people .. Today against a tough side he was superb ... and deserves all the praise that I hope he gets .... I know Fosu will get MOM but my MOM would be Sarr well done .... Great performance, should be the first name on the team sheet in terms of our back four. Totally agree, hope people will be patient if he does make the odd mistake as I'm sure he'll continue to progress.

According to reports he now brought a place in south east London and is beginning to feel settled
Think people need to remember how old he is and moving to a new country on his own must have been daunting for him let alone the idiots who picked on him straight away

Naby Sarr has shown those who doubted him his true character, he came back to the Valley head held high and quietly got on with his job
Some could not believe he returned and were saying get him fit and ship him out and a lot worse-- a young player written off after a handful of games
Just as well trainers and coaches do not think like that -- Well done Naby Sarr and may today's game be the first of many!

He is still only young like the majority of them. If we could keep all of them Mr Duchatelet and Ms Meire could have something special in their hands.

Agree he didn't deserve abuse but if he proves to be a good player for us in League 1 that doesn't mean he was a good signing two years ago in the Championship. Only having Diarra, Bauer and Sarr (and you could argue Lennon) as our CBs to start that season was a huge mistake.

Next the moaners will be bad mouthing the owner for wanting to sell Naby in January? By the way maybe the young man (geek) with the computer did know a thing or three when bringing in Naby, Kashi & Paddy? By the way should Quality play against Donny or should we play Ezri, Paddy, Naby & Jay at the back? Plenty of names ending in 'y' there!

Didn't deserve abuse but over the top praise is ridiculous as well. Sad to see some of the "positives" are more bothered about proving "bedwetters" wrong than just enjoying Sarr/the team playing well. He had a good game so he keeps his place. A big part of being a good centre back is consistency. It's impossible to judge that without him having a run of games.

Nope, other than perhaps Kashi two young foreign centre backs weren't what we needed at the time. Hence we were relegated and signed four centre backs in Williams, Johnson, Fanni and Texeira the following January.

Wasn't there but according to harry69 who was "a special mention for nabby Sarr. He didn't put a foot wrong and was quality throughout the game."
Yet there are still moaners not ready to accept he's a quality footballer and prefer to go on about Roger Johnson!
And as he's a reserve the requirement is not to judge him "on a run of games". You judge him on whether he does a job on the rare occasions he has an opportunity to step up from his customary place on the bench.
Whether he can build on that to deny Pearce or Bauer a place in the regular starting XI is an entirely different question.

The way Robbo insists everything is played from the back nabby should be first choice anyway , his range of passing in the pre season friendlies genuinely took many by surprise and he looks the most comfortable with the ball of all the centre backs . It's whether he can keep switched on for the whole game , but he deserves to keep his place

A big part of being a good centre back is consistency. It's impossible to judge that without him having a run of games. I'd say that all positions need to show consistency, for it's a 46 game marathon. Right now we're on a run of ten wins from 16 games and we've finally arrived in the top six thanks to performances from the likes of Fosu-Henry and Sarr yesterday. We've played the same formation throughout and coped with a certain level of injury and suspension. The team selection and performances have been consistent in the main. The finishing and concentration in defence not so much. The fact remains that all Charlton fans are nervous about how this season might go and how we might end up in May. And some have developed a deeply held belief that we cannot have success under this owner. So we have the irony that as we improve, it is a tad feisty on message boards. Still, we haven't reached Millwall levels where they fight with each other at Wembley! And so the usual clichés emerge about paper thin squad, foreign players as well as comparisons to the promotion squad from six years ago. Sarr has just demonstrated that we have four decent centre backs and that should give us all a sense that KR is building a competitive, cohesive balanced squad. If we continue to win every other game then surely more will believe we have something and more will come to watch us. Early days with only 1/4 of the games played for sure. But we can certainly add Sarr to the number of decent players on the books.

But we can certainly add Sarr to the number of decent players on the books. Another good post SR -- By training for and playing the same formation it allows as shown yesterday due to injuries -- Konsa to start at right back for the first time this season -- Sarr to make his first start at CB along side Bauer -- Add to that Marshall - Reeves and Aribo coming on from the bench -- All making their first appearances of the season. They all knew their role and that of those around them. Yes it may be a small squad, but they all have an important role to play.

He's not proven that yet, it's also about showing he has the consistency, concentration, decision making etc to do it regularly and cope when opponents know more about him. He definitely could do that, the point I was making that wouldn't mean he was a good signing for a Championsionship wide when he first came in. You wouldn't write off a player after a bad game. It works both ways - a good game v Fleetwood doesn't prove much on its own. He looks like he'll at least be a good back up player in this league. Agree on the last part, which is why it's early to call him a "quality footballer". Magennis came in last season and proved he was better than cover for Novak. Others have signed and not been as good as expected.

Others have signed and not been as good as expected. If we are to succeed and be in the right place at the halfway mark, then Sarr has to be better than just "back up" since Pearce is out for another two months. We will all have a chance to see if he can demonstrate consistency and concentration. And with a chance to stake a claim as first choice perhaps this is what he needs after a false start? Much has changed under KR and much has changed since Karel Fraeye was head coach two years ago. Things can still go wrong and a top six place is not guaranteed - nowhere near. Perhaps worth revisiting at the end of October?

As always I'll speak as I find and there's no doubt Sarr had an excellent game yesterday as he did when I saw him at Crawley. However, that doesn't alter the fact that he was very poor 2 seasons ago.
Well done Nabby Sarr and I was there cheering you on all game.

Nabby's main problem has been concentration, but the rest of our defence hasn't been faultless in that regard this season anyway.

Well done Nabby Sarr and I was there cheering you on all game. very true, but it was a completely different set up then and we are in a division lower too. Have to give the guy a clean slate and he's started well. I myself agree I am not getting carried away, but I think people should stop saying they are concerned because of his performances 2 years ago.

Well done Nabby Sarr and I was there cheering you on all game. Two seasons ago is history, it's the present that matters. Look at it this way, he's still with us, not may from that period are. If we had of let him go and he was doing what he is for us somewhere else, the club would be getting slated for it.

Part of the reason why he is still with us is the 5 year contract and the big wages he is on (The club tried unsuccessfully to get him shot)
Granted he has improved as a player but it is still to early to judge him on the handful of games that he has played this season.

Pearce is out for a while so we have the next couple of months to judge him. Ideally he helps keep us in the top six? Teixeira was on a long term contract arriving from a network club so we can't be sure that holds. Ultimately we have several decent centre backs at the club and we have won a game without Pearce playing.

I think that's a bit extreme, not sure the club would stoop to that level!! I saw him preseason and although only Dover he looked really calm on the ball. He actually fits into KR's philosophy of playing from the back more than Pearce in my view, but Pearce is that leader we need at the moment.

Agree completely. It’s a good interview and Sarr comes across very well. It’s also worth noting that his English is very good.
It’s impressive too that Karl Robinson and his players continue to demonstrate dignity and professionalism and hence have been able to rise above the almost vindictive nonsense generated by a small group of fans.
There is no doubt in my mind who best represents the values and aspirations of the club. There is no doubt either who most observers would respect and admire.

Naby had sort of become a poster boy for everything that was wrong with the regime, which was unfair on him. It’s been good to hear the covered end singing his name for the right reasons.
He’s improved a hell of a lot and comes across as a sensible and grounded lad. Fair play to him.

He’s improved a hell of a lot and comes across as a sensible and grounded lad. Fair play to him. The fans at the Valley are backing the team 100% - just look at how they responded when we nearly went 2-0 down against Rochdale the other night. On social media it's a different story where some have come out with all kinds of weird and wonderful reasons for what went wrong two years ago. We've had nearly nine months of decent results. But it will take more of the same to win more people over. It's unfortunate that elsewhere a culture of blame and regrets has developed - one where some compete to be vindictive or insult the club, the manager etc. Now that we have a stable set up people might reflect upon the fact that KR didn't win too many games in his first four months - a period when Pearce was out injured. And yet he is out again right now - clearly the quality of Sarr and Konsa has helped keep us on two points per game. It's bad enough when some criticise our players when we are losing, but they've clearly lost the plot if they are having a go now!

Considering the start big Nabby had to his Charlton career I have to say after watching him yesterday that I really don't see how Pearcey will get his place back at the moment.
Nabby was solid yesterday both in a three man then a four man defence after LB switched it.
The sheer size of him must be imposing to opposing strikers who are not getting much change out of him at all at present.
I wasn't impressed with JP at Barnsley up until the point he got injured and he didn't have the best of games at Blackpool either. I also think that Nabby for his size is pretty quick and is a yard faster than JP so when the skipper is fit he'll have to work very hard to regain his place that's for sure.
