Suddenly the season has an injection of life, at least till we see them play and the formation. Some of us will logically know that we are not goingbto get top 6, but there will be a nagging hope if we go on a run from now we will be so close, so ever so close and possibly, just possibly on the last day of the season we may slip into a play off spot!
The mantra of Charlton fans for years, "Hope over Expectation"
Only to be blown out of the water by that floating landmine😂
Ladapo: "I'm really happy to be joining Charlton. I'm so excited to be here and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve during the rest of the season.”
Appleton: “Freddie’s a massive goal threat who brings lots of quality. He’s a player who’s comfortable playing with his back to goal and running towards goal. He’s very quick, he’s athletic, he’s got a very good record at this level and he’s a really exciting signing. I think everyone is going to look forward to having him on board.”
Scott: “Freddie is someone we’ve been after for a long time. He’s got a proven record of scoring goals in this league and getting promotions. He’s been at Ipswich most recently and shown he can compete in the Championship as well. It’s a major coup to be able to bring in a player of his quality.”

I can't wait to see this. Seems bonkers.
He’s the fastest backwards runner in the league - shields his way past defenders at high speed 😂
2 goals in 17 matches!! This is Ralph Milne or Carl leaburn stats! So excited by this "massive signing".
Pandas score more than this!!
He will score a fair number for us I think. We look a lot better with a fit Aneke and he will give us similar qualities. Maybe he is a bit more mobile and slightly less powerful but he is a strong player and this will help May greatly IMO.
Brown just commented that he thinks the Ladapo deal was supposed to be permanent but due to a late change it turned into a loan.
Wonder if negotiations were dragging over a permanent deal, meaning we wouldnt have had him today had we not turned it into a loan.
Think it’s because his Ipswich contract will include financial reward for him if they get promoted, so he won’t want to leave that contract permanently
He looked knackered after 60 minutes. Probably another player we're going to run into the ground in our desperation for points and he'll ultimately end up injured.
TT & Bakinson were positives today. Both nearly scored and Bakinson set up Kanu who should have scored, rather than hit the bar. Coventry was ok. Edun was ok. Ness was poor, but nowhere near as bad as some were saying.
And May worked hard. That tackle at the end was crazy, but you could see where it came from. The weird thing was, he chased back so well that it looked like he could have taken the ball, but chose to take the man instead. Raging. But not just against his teammates, he missed a few chances himself. In the second half they pressed us high up the pitch and we couldn’t cope. Can we not adapt our tactics to deal with it? Maybe move Bakinson up the pitch, and go long to him and Ladapo. Change it up a bit. Stop us being so predictable. On Tuesday we need to replicate the second half v. Peterborough, and the first half yesterday. The performances, not the scores obvs.

in front of the box, very classy and confident
Out for six weeks ten minutes after making his debut...
