    Couple of weeks until the window slams shut and I’m hopeful we’ll be impressed but can’t say I’m confident.
     I'm concerned. However,a mate of mine who has a bit of an ear with the club isn't.
    Reckons Gallen is confident of getting some good quality through the door before the close. Thinks it may go to the wire as he thinks we've missed out on a few gooduns in the past right at the end of windows past because Duchatelet would never stump up.
    Hopefully TS is a bit looser with the purse strings?
    Wait until the last minute...then overpay...

    Blackett-Taylor baby, Blackett-Taylor whoah

    At least we have a ready made song for him
  • Looks to me like his first touch forced him right across the pitch. Very good recovery mind.

    Squad player, adds depth, so there's that at least. 

    If it comes off I hope it's not at the expense of signing a more creative CM/CAM.

    The reason I liked the Aribo/ Cullen/ Bielik midfield was that they could do a bit of everything.  I’m not expecting players that good but I would like to have a more fluid system rather than this incredibly rigid 433/ 4231 that Adkins has employed so far .

    You say you don’t expect players that good - but I have to ask why not? We had players that good under much worse ownership and whilst playing in league one.

    I don’t see a reason why we shouldn’t expect a team at least as good as the previous ownership managed.

    Did they ? It was hard work for the outside 2, but it was a lot better than this dross.

    Know nothing of Blackett-Taylor but DJ needs competition to get the best out of him, sounds like this fella does too.  Maybe them both fighting for a spot may make both of them better.

    It’s only been two games and we still havnt got a full squad, the end of last season was fine.

    Only thing I know about Blackett-Taylor is that he is absolutely lightening quick.
    As Dennis Rommedahl proved, a good amount of pace can definitely take you an incredibly long way.

    (See also: David Odonkor; Bebe, Jesper Gronkjaer)
     Just not in a Charlton shirt .
    Oi he's a cult hero like Luke Varney

    Yes dozens of people on here last season were sick of it and hoped to never see it again.

    Was being linked with Millwall and Swansea last year so might have potential. Plays a bit like Mark Marshall in those clips.

    Same here. Looked like one of the most one sided game ever.

    I don’t deny that but I’m not sure our current XI is any worse than that and therefore we are missing Aneke as a bench option .

    The entire basis of my faith in this seasons transfer window is that we’ll be a lot more solid than we were last season, we’re clearly not.  The cheque book, even if we do go on to lose tonight (currently 2-1) has to come out.

    Ablie, Dobson and Gunter can't be a part of our 1st eleven. Need upgrades at each position.

    And Watson should only help with washing the kit.

    I’ve been amazed reading that some people think everything is ok and we will be fine. Everything is not ok, and we’re not fine. This has been an appalling window with bad signings and wasted money. Doesn’t appear to be any plan whatsoever. We have gone backwards and we are all hoping a few players will come in and everything will gel, it won’t. Will be a long boring season.

    We are in desperate need of 3-4 quality additions. We look to have no real quality in key areas, especially midfield. Defence looks disjointed also, left back needs to be addressed.

    Says it all about someone within Football if you manage to get the sack!!
