    Will admit to not noticing him in our games v Rovers.

    Not tall so must have other talents.

    If Gallen and Bowyer want him that's enough for me.

    Welcome and good luck, Tom.

    Pearce and Lockyer - our Dunk and Duffy? 
    Got to be the first choice centre half pairing
    Don’t think Lockyer is the quickest so would prefer Sarr alongside him. Either way it’s reasonable options at CB. 
    Have read elsewhere on here that Lockyer is supposedly very quick!
    He is definitely quicker than Naby, Pearce and Bauer. So it's an improvement in that department, from what I have heard, read and seen as well he is a better passer.

    This video shows how composed he is on the ball and the pace he has on the likes of Naby. I may be jumping the gun but I think he could be a better partner for Naby than BFG was, we'll have to see though

    Still nothing on the CAFC channels. I think Roland has changed the social media and website passwords as his final parting gift.
    Doubt he'd know how to do that.

    Another young one with potential from the lower leagues. The only way to go really, when scratching around on a tight budget. A few more like this gives us a chance of getting through the season on team spirit and energy. And if it all goes tits up, we should be able to keep the squad together and at the very least have another tilt at promotion from League 1 in 20/21

    Welcome Tom, good luck- hope you're as successful as the other infamously short house Charlton defenders like Sols and Perry (sounds like a pair of 90s Garage DJs).

    Excited by this signing. I watched our away game at Bristol Rovers on iFollow and Lockyer was a stand out player IMO. A warm welcome from me.

    Love the sound of Lockyer already the way Gallen says that he was eager to get over here from South Wales and get working with us, despite having had a short summer due to International Duty

    Thats the type of attitude I always want to see at Charlton regardless of the level

    Naby 
    Pearce 
    Lockyer 
    Pratley. 
    Centre half position sorted. 

    I'd be seriously concerned about any game at Championship level with Pratley at centre back, need 1 more

    You'd HOPE that Pratley would only be used in serious emergencies though

    Dijksteel can also play Centre-Back so would say Darren is fifth choice at the back

    We have lost Bauer and Bielik is currently not in the building who could cover..... so either need Bielik back (preferable) or one more

    Shows all the right attributes for a good 'sweeper' in his clip, reads the game well, quick to intercept. can shift over a short distance and comfortable carrying the ball. What's not to like, height isn't everything as per Peter Reeves or Chris Perry. Croeso Tom, pob lwc yn eich swydd newydd.

    Lockyer might actually be the more the Bielik type

    I read somewhere when we were first linked that he can play both Centre Back and in Defensive Midfield

    I know it's said a lot, but I proper love Bowyer and Gallen. We lose two massive players like Bauer and Aribo and they have brought in two very good players that could fill in for them on a shoe string.

    Maybe that's why Roland ain't selling.

    Lovely. Wonder how we convinced him to join considering he was wanted by a few bigger clubs.
    Bigger clubs?

    Read what he says about talking to Bowyer.

    Perhaps people should realise how lucky we are to have Bows and Gallen at the helm. He seems to be able to persuade players to join his "journey". 

    Maybe the fans should join it?

    Ooh, what a good idea. Why hadn’t I thought of that. Oh, I remember now NAPM.
