Give give me Dobbo and Fraser well ahead of Payne any day. Payne runs about a lot and tries hard but afraid he’s L2 quality. Fraser is L1 and Dobbo potentially Championship. JFC an enigma - has the talent but sadly not sure he has the fitness anymore.
Are people still going on about JFC.. He isn't good enough, it has been proven the times he has played this year.. Little impact, and lost the little pace he did have.
He is a good guy, and clearly been good around the place, time to move on and let him go and play in league 2.

Frankly there are three quarters of the squad that aren’t good enough to get us out of league one. Tinkering with it this January will hopefully see off relegation but we really do need to hope that there is a change of ownership and that comes with both money and ambition. In my humble opinion this summer needs a turnover of players at around the 16 mark with around 9 being shoe in first teamers. I doubt we’ll get anywhere near close to that and HMS Piss The League is not even out of the drawing board stage.
There is very little difference between the majority of L1 and L2 players. Our games against Stockport County and Stevenage showed up our shortcomings.
Probably the right move for him and us. He's obviously not been given a chance but doubt he would have made a huge impact and hopefully we can bring another one in.
if he regains a bit more match fitness and form after his injuries, which is still possible, he could again be a championship player. Shame we couldn't get that out of him here because it's what we were hoping for. Shite player management again.
Not sure but it doesn't really matter as he is OOC in the summer anyway. Suspect it's either a loan with us paying a % or us paying him off and a short term contract there.
There is a certain irony that his last kick as a Charlton player was despatching a penalty which helped us put out his beloved Brighton from the Carabo Cup.
Personally, I’d have liked to see him used a bit more in the league a bit earlier as I believe he still has something to offer and probably needed a run of games to get back to match sharpness after all the time out. That being said, he hasn’t particularly shone in his cup appearances suggesting this last injury has taken a heavier toll than previous ones.
As always, if we sign someone better with the money saved then it’ll be a good move. Our track record of using departures of long serving players to improve the team, however, is not good recently so I won’t hold my breath just yet.
Either way, I hope this works out for Jake. He’s had his injury problems but has always been an trier and has had some moments of real quality in his time with us too. I certainly don’t think he’s been treated well by the club this season and deserved a bit better. Good luck Jake.

And that in the previous round his penalty helped put out his future club Stevenage!
He goes with my very best wishes anyway. We voted him player of the season, he didn't ever seem to hide, and has a good football brain. Shrewd signing by Evans.

If he's not getting in this side then you can't blame him for heading for pastures new. He probably isn't the answer to our current problems but he leaves in credit with me and there's not many of the current lot I would say that about.
A class act and much better than Morgan and mcgrandles plus several others. A real shame but I think his contract or fitness or both have done for him. Wish him the very best though and hope he avoids injury 😟

Good luck to him but not able to dictate a game for us any more

Good luck to Jake. I hope his game comes back playing regularly for Stevenage.

Will he be replaced, or is this a cost cutting measure like Washington & Purrington?
