    If only there was a way the club could update us on matters like these 🤔. Its a shame that NJ never talks to the media at all during the season 🤷‍♂️
    If we're currently negotiating with other clubs for a replacement, NJ coming out in public saying Edwards is out for season and we are desperate isn't the smart way. 
    Do you really think other clubs aren't already aware of our predicament?

    The football world us a fairly small one and everyone will already know we are looking desperately for a left back.
    Is a strong possibility, but whats the point of also potentially making it worse for ourselves
    I mean who benefits from Jones telling the world that Edwards is out injured for longer?
    It doesnt just hinder us from potentially getting a replacement, but we're also advertising Edwards has an injury which might put other clubs off, and stop him reaching the pinacle of his career in the future. Reminds me of Chris Malkin that Curbs almost signed, but we backed out as we found something in his Medical... I mean the Millwall Manager at the time could have saved us all the hassle had he announced long before: "Oh yeah; Chris has / had this really bad injury"

    The level of player we are going in for I really don't think it makes much difference to the price. Every clubs knows we are after a left footed back and preferably a left wing back to fit Nathan's system. It's just are we after 1 or 2 players in that position; if Josh is out for the season then 2 is the answer.

    I had the opportunity to talk with agents and scouts because of my son's job a couple of years ago and these guys find out and it really isn't a secret if a player's  season is cut short. 

    Injured Players are asked about 100 times on match days when they will be fit and be back and for Edwards sake it would stop this occurring.
    Gutted for the lad if true.
  • I don't think any other club will notice he's not played since September. A shrewd move by the club if you ask me.
  • I doubt we will see him in a charlton shirt again

    He’s done then. 
  • He has been a very good player when fit for us. A shrewd signing who had the right attributes to play at this level

    Gutted for him and us.

    How have we not signed an LB yet.

    Awful news. Obviously I’m completely biased but I saw a future where he came back, played to his full capability and got selected for our World Cup squad. Really hope it’s not as bad as Nathan makes out because, watching us struggle on the left again tonight, we really need him back.

    I’m hopeful that it was more about how his absence has affected the team although I think it sounds like he’ll struggle to feature again this season

    He said it's catastrophic that he's been out this long, not that the injury itself is catastrophic, I don't get how you're getting to this conclusion from what he's said

    Describes the left wing-back's injury as "catastrophic"”

    You’re contradicting Cawley. Rather you than I.

    His second long term injury in two seasons. Hes now out for the season. Pretty obvious it’s a very bad injury

    For this season maybe. But it’s still describe as a setback for return. Here’s hoping it’s weeks and not months!

    No Cawley said catastrophic as regard to the amount of time he's been out not that the injury itself is catastrophic.

    gutted for Josh, he seems a top lad too. my recollection was that the injury seemed quite innocuoua at thr time too

  • Absolutely devastating news for Josh, and us, if that’s it for him for the season.

    We need to bring in even more so,  a quality addition, otherwise it will haunt us back into league one.

    It’s already our Achilles heal.

    The defence needs more bodies, up to the standard required, we need to get defensive solidity back, we let in 2 soft goals tonight, extremely frustrating!

    I can’t recall how it initially happened. But I do recall that after a fair bit of treatment it was decided to keep him on, but he looked like he was struggling. Then he crossed the field to take a long throw and as he took it, collapsed. 

    There are therefore questions about the decision-making that kept him on after the initial injury. Of course, such things happen. It is said that often in those situations the medic staff have to reply on what the player tells them. But now he becomes the second key player after Godden to have a setback in rehab. 

    Will Abbott left the building earlier, and suddenly. It may be unfair to connect these things. But last season we did not have this shit, even though we were playing with the high intensity NJ demands. Fitness wise we seemed to finish the campaign stronger than most other clubs.

    We weren't playing in an intense league with higher physical challenges. I'm a bit bored with the Will Abbot was some savant who could fix injuries with just a look, Josh was injured last season as well, and the misdiagnosis of Gooden is never in the negative column

    I'd like to think this might change our recruitment plans for a LWB. We've always needed good competition for Josh and I could understand the club not wanting to spend big to do so, but now it's essential. We need an Edwards level player who can play every game from now until the end of the season because it doesn't sound like he'll be back before then. If in the summer we find ourselves with a selection dilemma over two great LWBs then great, but right now we have zero fit left backs and the one who might become available should never play there because it taxes his hamstrings too much. Really we need a permanent, quality LWB and a loan as backup but I'll take just the one if they're good

    Plus Lloyd missed 13 games (according to transfermarkt) and we've since discovered that Godden was playing whilst injured for the run in. I think last season it just wasn't as noticeable because the covering players didn't leave us as exposed.

    As was Lloyd, didn't he say he was playing with some kind of leg injury?

    I might have misremembered this but I think he said he played away at Wrexham with some kind of fracture in his leg? I'm not trusting myself 100% that I'm right on that though

    I thought exactly the same but it's so ridiculous I doubted myself too

    Lucy Bronze played - and won - the Euros with a broken leg. Her and Lloydy are made of the same metal. Bit worried about LJ this time though - he seemed to wobble and nearly faint at one point.

    He was playing 15 yards deeper than everyone else at the end of the first half because he knew he couldn't run anywhere properly. It's the third or fourth time this season he's taken a knock or something in the first half and I've worried about whether he'll come back out in the second, I reckon he's still playing through injuries now
