Dobson and Morgan are going to have their work cut out covering for Lee/DJ/CBT's lack of defensive ability. No doubt it will be Albie's fault that he's all over the pitch.
Cam we assume Purrington is leaving or wanting to leave?
Can't think of any other reason for dropping out top scorer and most reliable defender.
He is neither of those things
Anyone in our starting 11 scored more than Purrington ?
Chap on the bench has
Is the bench starting 11?
He was billed as 'our top scorer'. He isn't that by any metric. If he was starting he'd be the top scorer in our starting eleven, but if Washington was also starting he wouldn't be. By that logic, DJ is our top scorer

DJ has been rock solid at wing-back. The doubts with him have largely revolved around his crossing

Get the Albie excuses in early!!
And the Anti-Albie League are already loading the revolvers and sharpening the knives.
Story from Jim Melrose commenting on Mac missing two games because of his new arrival, and when Jim was as Leeds in a similar situation, being told not to come back by Billy Bremner if he didn't turn up for a game V Millwall, how things have changed, mind you, sounded about the level of Bremner

only at charlton get a young 22 year old in on Loan but can’t play because not fit to play in league one what a joke
Jacko spoke on Charlton TV. Said he's not trained with the squad and thus isn't involved. I know Gallen talked about fitness. Castillo has dropped from the Championship where he wasn't playing much to League One. We're at least taking on a Chelsea player who was playing the division above us just a couple weeks ago, there are always going to be trade offs.

I would say his decision making and movement off the ball as well. He hugs that touchline but is too often static. He doesn't run in behind. He comes inside sometimes for goalkicks but that's about it. And then when he gets on the balls he doesn't look to go past people, he just looks to work space for a cross, which are too often floated and not designed for the forwards we have on the pitch.
I think he's the most solid of our RWB choices, but he's capable of more and he's been quite frustrating in recent weeks.
On the starting XI, I think I Albie deserves to start. He was decent of the bench a couple of matches ago and one of the better ones in a poor performance at Cheltenham. Gilbey and Lee not pulling up trees and Albie is the obvious next one off the rank in the current squad. Toss up for me if you leave out Gilbey or Lee, but while Gilbey gets around the pitch very well and can drive forwards, Lee has continued to look one of our most likely players to actually provide a killer pass or shot.
Shame Washington still isn’t fit to start, him and Chuks will be a handful but I’m not convinced Burstow is really ready yet, although the potential is there. That’s why they’re talking to Defoe, some short term insurance if Stockley is going to be gone for a while.
Very attacking wide men. Jacko clearly fancies CBT, not so sure myself. Id like to see Leko on the right - he was brilliant away at Sunderland and has barely played there since. DJ looked good at first but has gone into his shell recently.
Yeah, asked why he left, said he didn't want to...Why did he go then, seems like a strange one, probably felt he was better than Div 1, anyway is good to have him back

Pearce running through a few drills with the three centre-backs.
Hopefully we are solid at the back and take our chances when they come.
Too.many.touches. just hit the thing.
Are you watching, Jermaine Beckford?
