  • Good keeper Collins, though we might have sworn off keepers who were good at Barnsley now

    Doesn't feel like a No.1
    Why not? Collins has a lot of Championship experience. 28 games last season for a team that finished 9th. 

    Think either of the Coventry keepers would be decent signings. They’ve signed one so seems certain one of Collins or Wilson will move on, seemingly the former. 
    Collins also played in the championship and league one for Barnsley. I think he’s be an upgrade on AMB at the very least

    Have squad numbers been released yet?
    Guessing they're gonna be released with the kit today but think the Pompey game was a good indication of who's gonna wear what

    He certainly has a good pedigree, but his appearance stats (and the deep mental scarring I've suffered from the last several seasons) make me wonder if he has injury issues.

    I like the sound of their captain McCowan

    Standout player for Dundee, quite small but everywhere on the pitch would play the 10 role very well.
    I watched the Dundee derby on Sunday and they were talking this guy up. Have to say I thought he was okay, but not brilliant until he scored the penalty then he found his rhythm and was the best player in the pitch. I was wondering why Dundee would be linked to Fraser at all as he doesn't seem their type of player. They seemed like a team built on 100% effort and commitment - not Fraser's game! I like their centre forward Murray. Thought he was a proper handful.

    Don’t think so, just that he started the season as number 2. I believe he was available for most of the season.

    i know he got a bad facial injury in 22/23 which explains a few missed games and that happens. Not injury prone by any stretch, just not always been first choice at his club.

    Spot on.
  • Am I right in seeing Stephen humphreys is a free agent still after leaving Wigan? Surely worth a kermorgant style punt?

    We don’t have room for another striker with Dixon and possibly Hylton joining the 6 we already have (including Campbell).
    Can't help thinking that Hylton would be a waste of a squad place. We are in much greater need of a creative, attacking midfielder if there's a squad place and enough budget going.

    Although if Ahadme should miss several games with injury, who else would play his physical rough'em up and create space role?
    Especially if Chuks breaks down.

    Godden, Kanu, Leaburn, Campbell? Not really their game. 


    Think back to how lacking we were last season, without a physical presence to lead the line.
    Maybe NJ doesn't want to revisit that - and thinks Hylton could be a cheap emergency option, especially combined with a coaching role.

    It would enable NJ to keep the gameplan intact.

    We won games last season with Kanu and May up front. We just played it differently with balls to chase into the channels to get us up the pitch. I think Godden will be fine with balls into feet also  

    I’m not as concerned about it as I have been in previous season, Jones is a good enough manager to win games without a big striker. Holden, Appleton, Garner and Jackson were not. 

    Ahadme, Leaburn and Aneke should be enough anyway, and even if all 3 were injured I’d rather have 2 of Godden, Campbell and Kanu up front instead of Hylton, he just isn’t a league 1 quality footballer

  • Weird that they would make Ness and Fraser do the name video, but then bin them off for some arbitrary number one.

    Good spot, I hadn't noticed Ness wasn't on the list.

    No No 1 on the squad numbers, basically confirms that we’re still looking for someone (not new I know) https://www.charltonafc.com/news/squad-numbers-confirmed-202425-season
    I know it doesn't really matter, but I don't like a centre back with 3, a midfielder with 10, and a striker with 11.

    Scott Fraser didn't look happy at all in that name video

    I believe we won only 4 games out of 16 under NJ last season.
    And that with the Division's highest goalscorer.

    Playing 2 x 'second strikers' together I doubt he'll want to go back to.
    For NJ, it doesn't work.

     I'm only trying to look into NJ's head and pose the question.
    He wants the team to play a certain way, where each player knows their job. No square pegs in round holes.

    Perhaps he's thinking a replacement for any player needs to be like-for-like, without changing the system/gameplan?
    In the case of Ahadme missing a sequence of games, then logically Chuks steps in - but even Chuks knows, you can't rely on that!

    And you still need another physical forward on the bench, because Chuks doesn't do 90 minutes anyhow.
    You'll never going to attract a decent quality player content to sit much of the season on the bench or not even make the Matchday18.

    So the manager needs an insurance policy, a player who wouldn't normally be needed, but could step in an emergency.
    Hylton doesn't need to be a quality footballer. He doesn't need to be a free-scoring striker. He just needs to be someone who steps in an injury crisis to do a basic job, to keep the gameplan and team shape. NJ knows what Hylton can do and can't do.

    All through the pre-season Hylton has been called on for short cameo roles in games.
    Make of that what you will :)
