First few minutes we’re looking more composed as compared with Wimbledon, front footed, clearly Jones has told them that was one-off.3
-
I know it’s only 9 minutes but everything is so much quicker2
-
Woah woah woah now he's taking shots from outside the box.
Who does this Trialist think he is?!10 -
“Trialist” with our first shot almost on target…0
-
I’m very concerned how I’ve seen 9 mins of chalobah and seen enough to know he would be the best midfielder ath the club16
-
Koumetio looks fucking class12
-
That Koumetio pass to Grant was what we missed all last season6
-
Koumetio is incredible on the ball.
Definitely impressed the most out of our summer signings so far in pre season.6 -
Perhaps it’s the level of competition - but this is the best we have been pre season so far.

Sign chalobah immediately he looks class9
-
Judging on the scant amount of pre season we have had, I would commend new boy Koumetio and he looks to be a very credible signing.2
-
Chalobah, yes pls
chalobah and Muamba decent1 -
Koumetio and Mesík, I know it's very early days, but they really seem to have made that left hand side of the defence a lot more dynamic. (Well compared to Gillesphey playing with Hernandez anyway)8

I lolled that but I also agreeCrispywood said:I’m very concerned how I’ve seen 9 mins of chalobah and seen enough to know he would be the best midfielder ath the club0 -
Getting Chalobah on the back of Elizabeth line 3rd kit.9

Found the stream on the fire stick and the Charlton commentators won’t say Chabolahs name….just keep saying ‘trialist’ as if no one knows who he is 🤣

This first 15 minutes is giving credence to the “heavy sessions before earlier games” theory as the fitness levels look totally different3
-
Forgot how much I hated Jack Payne4
-
He's definitely the one I'm tipping as our "best" signing (so far), though I do like the look of Mesik too, albeit he’s not quite as eyecatching.JoshAddick said:Koumetio is incredible on the ball.

Said it on the rumours thread, but he played 2 nice forward passes through the lines within 2 minutes. The kind of passes our current midfield (other than Costello) don’t try nearly enoughFishCostaFortune said:Well a lot has gone through Chalobah in the first few minutes.
He's looked simple yet elegant thus far, including a decent shot on goal.
That being said, his quality isn't in doubt, it's his fitness that's the worry.0 -
Perhaps we'll just have to accept he might miss a couple of months here or there - and if he does then Coventry / A.N.Other will have to deputiseRedhenry said:Chalobah, yes pls

Knibbs looking really sharp7
