I'm not distraught if Roger Johnson is fourth choice. Slade knows that at this moment he only has Lennon. I doubt Johnson is seen as first choice. Nobody knows if and when Bauer will be or remain fit or indeed even be at the club. Slade will know he needs at least one senior CB to come in.

Roger Johnson was run ragged by Sordell at Colchester. He looked a busted flush last season. Hopefully we get another CB in and then pay him off.
Hopefully that was partly down to the fact that we had Karel 'Spreadout' Fraeye in charge.
I'd think that under Russell Slade, Johnson will either have to knuckle down and improve (a lot) or he'll be shipped out, cant see any players being carried this season under Slade.
nice to see that scapegoat season has started before even the first pre season friendly .. I thing that Roger Johnson will have a decent season for us, given the chance .. but we all know, he could score two hat tricks and make ten goal line clearances in the first two games .. and guess what ? .. he'd still be called a donkey (or worse) by far too many 'fans' on here
Where is the harm in criticising a player for poor performances on a message board? Johnson had a couple of decent games in 2015, mainly when he played alongside Gomez. Last season he was disgraceful.

But last season has ended... We should surely be looking forward to the next season when anything can happen and performances can be extremely different to last time out

That missed header against Reading was the single most appalling dereliction of basic footballing competence I've seen any Charlton player display. He should have been sacked on the spot; it was almost akin to kicking it in his own net

I don't buy that. I've seen some magnificent ineptitude in a Charlton shirt.
I recall a left back against Ipswich waiting for the ball to bounce out of play only for it to hit him on the head and give away a throw in - that's just for starters.

Someone should start a thread on this. My mind jumps to Luke Varney with half the pitch and only the keeper to beat, passes it into the goalie's stomach from 12 yards.

you sure you don't mean the one where he rounded the keeper, chose not to hit it into the open goal and then failed to beat a defender masquerading as the keeper

The Seaborne one was so funny because he did it twice in the same match tbf

I've heard a rumour that Kilgallon has a better offer elsewhere, so he wont be signing for us.
Rumours are often compIete rubbish and I hope this one is, but if true I'm surprised a League 1 footballer is thinking of earning above 15 grand a week .

At least this is a genuine rumour, even if it may or may not be complete rubbish.
Just to put a few things straight. Firstly I never boo any player, i don't see the point. Secondly the only people who i do abuse are Roland and squirrel. Thirdly the point of having forums like this is to give opinions, all I'm saying is I don't think fox is good enough. Time will tell
Nah mate you're doing it constantly, that's no longer an opinion it's just plain O.T.T
He will be fine in league 1 in my opinion. Wouldn't turn down better, but wouldn't mind him as our first choice LB for now. THD is catching him quickly.
Unless Michael Turned is prepared to compromise on his wages (or Roland is prepared to pay anyway), then Roger Johnson is in situ and cheap. If we don't sign a central defender then it must mean Bauer or Tex will stay, with Lennon and other promising young players to pad out the squad in that department. OR We are seeing signs of Slade's aspirations being thwarted by the regime perhaps. Especially if Lennon and Johnson are the senior pair at the back, which would persuade plenty of other managers to see us as beatable.
I'm not distraught if Roger Johnson is fourth choice. Slade knows that at this moment he only has Lennon. I doubt Johnson is seen as first choice. Nobody knows if and when Bauer will be or remain fit or indeed even be at the club. Slade will know he needs at least one senior CB to come in.
I guess in an emergency Diarra or Fox could cover but not the way to set out for a promotion push.
You really do need four centre backs.
According to Ketts, he may play against Welling on Saturday

About his level to be fair.
Bit harsh. Bauer has a key role to play - the fact he could be playing against Welling is a massive positive IMO (that's who Ketts is referring to - did you mean Johnson?)

would be shocking in an u11s match
'Reminder
This a thread about transfer rumours.
Please keep general chit chat, and rubbish like the Fox digging to other threads please.'
glad to see you lot can read, not.

Anyway, back to Fox, Johnson, etc....
