    Academy players will be filling up the water bottles with tap water whilst warming up.

    We might have been attempting to keep it quiet to effect Sunderland's preparations.

    If it does transpire that jfc is injured following what’s just been put up on the OS, then the lunatics really have taken over the asylum.

    If JFC is injured why say right before a game though as it tells Sunderland they dont have to worry about him

    Like the "supposed" England team sheet that got leaked, why would you give away anything about your team that could aid the opposition just to appease the fans who may / may not have heard nothing more than a rumour

    In a way by keeping quiet its working to our advantage as Sunderland will be questionning whether he's playing or not (if they've heard the rumour) so will now be wondering who'll be playing in his stead and whether they need to adjust their tactics accordingly

    i.e. Bowyer admitted after the Plymouth game that we targeted their Defensive Midfielder to keep them quiet, his whole prep in the days leading up to that game would have been buggered had he not played
    I admire your optimism but we’re getting beat 5-0 regardless of the pre-match mind games. I’m sure Sunderland will be quaking in their boots when they find George Lapslie is playing in his place!
    Are we? - Fucking hell some dont learn do they, disgusted by the line up last week yet we still won!!

    Someone tell me what is so bloody great about Sunderland at the moment??? - half their squad is injured too, Jack Ross dont just have to rebuild his squad yet has to rebuild their confidence too!!... TWO wins is all they got at the Stadium of Light last season, you dont just stop that rot and turn in around in an instance!!

    This is your MIGHTY Sunderland that are going to beat us 5-0 when they've had a pretty shite pre-season?

    Ridiculous. Without any sort of signing I genuinely believe we could be gone this season

    Was that Jim Bowen's catchphrase for the rarely shown after the watershed episode's of Bullseye from the early 90's?

    Feel for the lad. My fav player from last year. He has had such Promise since he was young, however struggled to find the right club. I know he enjoyed it here and was very settled. Now he is out for whole year. Will he ever come back the same?

    Absolutely devastating

  • Bad news for us and him. Will be missed for is play and character. Come back stronger Jake.
  • Massive shame for the lad, one of the best players in the league.

    Now confirmed after the bullshit team news article last put up last nite.

    You shouldn't treat those as gospel at the best of times. With JFC, the news broke here because we have someone who is very close to the club/players. The club confirmed it 36-48 hours later, which is roughly the amount of time it takes to get a diagnosis (depending, obviously). The issue here is not how team news has been written up over the last two days, it's that we can't name a full bench for the first match of the season.

    Get well soon Jake
  • Must be the worst luck for a player getting a season ending injury even before a ball is kicked in anger

    There needs to be an investigation within the Sport as there are far too many players getting this type of issue now - Is it the style of the boot they wear now, it the training regimes etc.

    Putting everything re the Club to one side for a minute -

    Jake, in the unlikely event you're reading this, all the very best. From personal experience I know it's a motherfucker of an injury to get, but you can beat it. Take your time for your own sake and literally take it one step at a time. Good luck mate.

    Wish Jake all the very best for a speedy recovery. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think his contract is up next summer? So I’ll doubt we’ll see him in a Charlton shirt again

    Very sad for the player, an already depleted team has lost arguably one of the better midfielders we have, without major investment which we know won't happen this is going to be a long hard season of flirting at the bottom.

    No chance of a miraculous recovery the day after the old bastard sells up, I suppose...

    An awful injury at the worst time for a player. Best of luck to him. Nice touch by the players, I like the spirit in the playing staff which was never there under RD before Bowyer came on board in my opinion. It’s enough for me at this moment, all the takeover stuff is beyond players and fans. We’ll win a few, we’ll lose as many probably but when has it ever been much different.

    And opening the bowling for Old Colfeians 4th X1 is a lot more strenuous than bossing Charlton's midfield :wink:

    Nice touch by Lyle Taylor. He shows he's able to predict Charlton fans' feelings, perfectly. (You might have to zoom in...).
