Glad we can give up the Albie No10 experiment from now and maybe see him compete for a CM spot in one he can be tigerish, rather than one which requires composure.
Not exactly a marquee signing or one which will make the rest of L1 shudder, but a sensible signing who fills a major gap in the squad
I think that is slightly underestimating his ability... Championship side #10, with experience of this league as well as a hat full of goals and assists. I think its a quality signing and he should go straight into the team.
Not to mention the fact he is delighted to be here, family ties etc. etc.

Again I'm not trying to sound negative because I think he's a decent signing, but he's someone who didn't hack it in the Championship, hence his loan spells at Oxford and us. A decent L1 player yes
Never any guarantees in this game, but feels like a good fit of a signing. Right kind of player, pedigree, and experience. Just a shame it's only a loan.
I know there's a bit of weird bitterness towards his Dad from some on here, but Rob(ert) was my first favourite Charlton player as a kid (along with Paul Williams) so there's a certain romance, for me, to seeing his kid sign for us.

Getting excited about loaning a 26 year old from Luton.

All doom and gloom, no point living in the past. All of those above were not seen as amazing signings, or with raving reviews. This is more the right kind of signing, dont expect players who are potential premier league quality to just turn up here.

But also a measure of how far we've fallen when we're all extremely happy at signing a player that isn't wanted by a team who as recently as 2014 were in the Conference.
That’s a good signing - the kind we needed. Repeat that for 2 x CMs and a left back and the starting eleven is looking better…. Get a similar level as back ups for CBs and strikers and even better still
Hoping Dobson comes good (I reckon he will) and that looks like the begginings of a decent starting 11
Would expect to see an improvement, Gilbey and Lee are a step up from Clare and Morgan (on paper at least) with them two being able to hang on to and move the ball better that should SHOULD mean less mistakes and by default, less pressure on Dobson mopping up and covering mistakes.
He's been scoring 1 in 3 games in L1. I suggest that puts him somewhere around 10th to 15th in the top scorer L1 tables, in the last few seasons. Similar to Stockley's expected level or not far behind?

We're not in The Championship.
I was replying to the previous comment describing him as a Championship No 10

Welcome Elliot. Look forward to the season :-)
Can he play in both half's? (Of the game and the pitch)

Fingers crossed there's another 4 on the way.
