Heading in the right direction?

in General Charlton
(didn't know where to put this question so stuck it in it's own thread - which might Piotr out)...

Should we be concerned that so many of the pre-season goals have been headers? If our strategy is to whip crosses in all season it, well, doesn't seem like a very good strategy... Do we need a more stringent Charlton height test?

    Just as worrying is we've played 6 games and only had 4 clean sheets.

    Exactly, everybody else is heading left and we are heading in the right direction. Thread question answered.

    We seem to be heading in the same direction that we have for the last three years. Selling players and not replacing them, the manager saying we need three or four more players before the season starts when we all know he has no chance of getting them.

    Blah, blah, blah.

    I would not be shocked or surprised if we finish mid table or lower next season.

    We are consolidating our position of mid table mediocrity.

    no point in having good 'crossers' if we only ever get one man in the box .. this division is full with big tough central defenders who love an aerial tussle .. we really need to play two in attack

    Mine was a genuine question about the seeming over reliance on crosses no one is worried about this?

    read my comment above .. also, conversely, if Konsa and Pearce are to be our first choice central defenders, I will be worried about our ability to defend against an aerial bombardment
