Reasonable chance both Morgan and Clare will end up playing for teams who finish higher then us, I fully supported letting them both leave as I really thought we would significantly strengthen in their positions.
Yet Clare would have been ideal in this 532 world we find ourselves in
Not really, his same defensive weaknesses would still be there. He played a lot football in a 3-5-2 under Jackson where he has some great strengths but isn’t a natural defender.
Another measure of how really poor our squad has been in recent times.
Happy to be corrected but apart from Washington and perhaps Wollacott, i can't think of a single player that's left us and gone on to join a club at a higher level.
They've mostly joined lower league 1 clubs or league 2 and some have even dropped into non league.
Purrington would be one if you're counting Wollacott.
Famewo as well even though that was a loan signing, ended up getting promoted from League One the next season.
I thought would have though Jac was referring to Clare as a RCB rather than RWB? Going over old ground but his versatility was a real asset rather than being a starting player. We haven't really got too much of that and it's particularly useful when the squad isn't going to be particularly big.

Going to say that Burstow to Chelsea is probably a step up.

I mean... Albie Morgan to Blackpool, upper L1 will be top 6 this season...
I had a check on him the other day just out of interest. Since winning their opening game and their cup match they had 3 consecutive 0-0 draws and then got spaffed 3-0 in their most recent game. 5 games in and they haven't scored in the league since the opening day. They're not throwing games away like we are but bloody hell, at least we get a goal to cheer every so often
Clare wasn't a perfect player but a better option at this moment in time that Asiimwe
I actually miss Clare. Wasn't the perfect player but he could play in a back 3, was fairly composed, quite athletic, could do a job as a right back and in general seemed a stand up guy.
At the very least he was adequate squad cover, but maybe he wanted more than that.

Considering we started Deji at RCB and Asiimwe at RWB on Saturday, I think it’s fair to say that we maybe should have kept him

Wigan gave him a 3 year deal - did anyone on here think he was worth that?
I said at the time, I was surprised he left but it could have been a good sign that we are bringing better in. As a right back he was competent, not th egreatest but decent enough for the league. Er ................... That went well!
Braziliance, just noticed you posting on here. Since your appearance on Charlton Live on Sunday I've been searching for your blog. Could you, or someone, please post the link.

Sandgaard must have pumped up Clare's CV something chronic, I thought it was only TS that gave out that length of deal

Stalker alert !!
Something tells me he actually wants to watch the game footage and not the 18 stone fat bloke talking to the camera, I'd be flattered though
If Payne is going , would Lewis Bate be an option? Local boy who had a great loan at this level with Oxford.
Would be a fantastic signing if he's allowed to leave Leeds. Not sure what their CM options are like now Adams has gone to Bournemouth
Noticed he is only on the bench tonight. Shelvey has been linked and our former player Andy Gray's son Archie seems to be above him in the peeking order.

Our problem wasn't letting him go.
It's that we've not got a better player in to replace him.
He does add it was a “tongue in cheek” comment.

Scott is busy seeing if Foden and Salah are available first.
We did manage to get David Davis though.
