The sad thing is that he's better than Dobson.golfaddick said:Watson coming on.
That will get us a goal for sure.2 -

So we're waiting for the end of August to bring in some premier/championship youngsters who will more likely be Smith/Levitt quality rather than a Gallagher / Cullen.CL_Phantom said:Dazzler21 said:
It's the whole teams job to yet involved.CL_Phantom said:Just to stick it in there, but all the comments about Albie being so involved and seeing a lot of the ball in our good play etc. Like he's a one man show, but, isn't that the point though? Like, thats his positions remit?
He's supposed to be our 10 and main creative force of course he's gonna be involved in it, doesn't mean he's any good at it though.
And before I get hung by the CL positivity inquisition, I like the lad and think he'll come good, but saying "he's getting involved" like it's something magical when it's his one job.. ya, I dunno.
Of course, but like with the Washington/ DJ comment you just said about why only one seems to be attacking, maybe thsts down to coaching instructions, "wash be more advanced, weaker down that side, DJ hold more for balance" "give the ball to Morgan to make things happen" etc?
Much like a winger, Morgan will blow hot and cold as a creative player, he's still had a pretty stop start career so far, measured opinions an 'all.
Think he'll look s lot better when Gilbey is back and we can manage his game time more personally.
We're also waiting for Gilbey so we can put Morgan on the bench. Gilbey could be out for months. Although he is back training (I think), we don't know what effect Covid has had on him & how long it will be before he can take part in a game.
I think this will be a long hard season.
Hope not, I'm very much in the "sign a creative CM/AM camp.
Considering Watson isn't supposed to even be on the bench (like Pearce) see the midfield trio as
Dobson
Gilbey
Other
Clare, Morgan bench.0 -

This is exactly why this absolute nonsense at daring to praise Ipswich for signing some footballers and them not winning every game at the beginning of a new season is any absolute dogshit defence of what we've done in this window so far.
They've got a completely new team who are going to be still gelling over the first few months. We've basically thrown away August, and then are either going to be going forward with not enough additions to the squad, or doing loads of business late so that our team will still be gelling late in September.0 -
Long ball... Long ball... Long ball...0

We're not creating much0

Every one of our front 3 look completely isolated. No connection between them or runners off them.1

Take away wishful thinking for a minute. Take away the eternal optimism that comes with being a Charlton fan (Golfie excluded).king addick said:
Opinions are fine but to say they are "duds" after 2 games is daft.DamoNorthStand said:
People are allowed opinions. I hope I’m proved wrong but my opinion is that two players who have been at best average performers in mid / lower table league one teams up to now won’t be running games at the top of the division all of a sudden.king addick said:
After 2 games...have a word...superclive98 said:
Think that we've brought in a couple of duds.Southbank said:If anybody actually watching this thinks our midfield is good enough......
Kirk has the right hallmarks and credentials. We need to sign another 6-7 of his level.
By the sound of it the whole team are having a shocker.
Simple fact is that they will have better games..the whole team will.
Now ... how long does it take you, how many games do you need to see the limitations and shortcomings of Clare and Dobson?
They are ordinary, journeymen players who have been offloaded by League 1 teams. The same for Jaiyesimi.
That midfield (Morgan included) will not get us out of League 1. Kirk will help, but we much, much more.
Oh and apologies @ValleyGary for being 'fucking mental'.4 - Sponsored links:

Are we actually doing anything ok? Could I get a game?0

Maybe we should of thought of this when deciding to play with just one up front, it's just ridiculous & even more so when Stockley is that one. Yes he'll run his nuts off & will get a fair amount of headed goals but it's not going to be enough. Yes Adkins has forgotten more than I'll ever know about the game but there is no way we'll win promotion playing Stockley up front on his own.Callumcafc said:
Catch 22 because anyone who is happy to sit on the bench behind Stockley probably isn’t good enough. No Premier League club is going to loan us a striker to sit on the bench either.charltonbob said:Hopefully Chucks will come on & grab a goal ........Oh
Well hopefully Chucks replacement will come on & grab a goal ........Oh
