Looking ahead, there's one international break in March, the Peterborough game, where potentially we could lose both Anderson and Coventry, if we can't get it postponed.
We can just use Dixon again to call it off, think if we lost Coventry we’d definitely want to postpone
Allan Campbell got about 550 minutes. Terry Taylor about 500. Potts got 75. Hylton got 44. Edun and Asiimwe got 0 between them.
We need one midfielder to “replace” the minutes and ideally exceed the performance of Campbell and Taylor, hopefully by being a bit more attack minded on the ball than those two.
Otherwise I don’t expect there’ll be much else done.
Judging the general sentiment this would apparently be an end of world event despite us being in a stronger position than we have for a few years. We're all desperate to get out of this division, I actually think our squad is in a relatively decent shape. A few more strong additions could make a huge difference but I can't understand the general panic.
I genuinely think I was the only person who credited Carlisle on their transfer activity? So that's fast become a bit of a Charlton Life myth that 'people' said when it couldn't have been more than myself a couple of others?
I don't think anyone was jealous that Luke Armstrong went to Carlisle. I don't think anyone actually wanted the players Carlisle were signing here.
From my point of view, it was more so that Carlisle were bang in trouble, and instead of just letting it happen, their owners at least tried to correct it and signed a couple of decent players in Armstrong and Harry Lewis. I'd watched Harry Lewis in person so knew he was a decent keeper and an upgrade.
They went down, and they're struggling now. The point is being missed entirely though. They spent money to at least try, and have ready made players for league2. It hasn't worked, and they're looking likely for a double relegation, which might suggest their troubles are deeper now than a few decent signings?
Either way, it's fast becoming a Charlton myth and a complete exaggeration.

I just don't understand this argument and I think it's purely just a different perspective thing, neither are wrong or right but I would much rather we spent less but spent it well than spent loads to create an image of giving it a go

This ^ I'd rather spend less and spend it sensibly than be throwing around stupid money for this level. Ramsay was only £200k if I recall, Edwards £75k , Lloyd Jones and Coventry on Frees.
The last time we spent £2m on anyone must have been Igor or Sarr???
It's not creating an image though. They weren't lying and saying that they went for x player but x club came in and stole the deal to create an image that they went for it.
They literally spent the cash. Whether or not it worked is an entirely different conversation, but they didn't do it to "create an image of giving it a go" they spent money hoping it would be enough to keep their club up. It didn't, shit happens, that's football.
I'd rather we spent a fuck ton when we are on the verge of play-offs than have to start again next season, especially when we have billionaire owners.
I'd also rather Ana de Armas was giving me back rubs while I scrolled Charlton Life, unfortunately, both myself and the club don't appear to have the capacity, life goes on.
I just wanted to address the Carlisle thing as it's nonsense and shouldn't be a recurring example everytime a transfer window pops up when it was pretty much one person who said they're giving it a go.
Transfer fees at this level are ridiculous this season, 2 mill for Sam Smith is awful business in my opinion. Although a mill for Ahadme isn’t looking great either.

Mate we get it - you want the club to spend millions. But repeating it every day won’t change reality. We don't have owners who are willing to burn cash like that. Either accept it or keep banging your head against the wall, it won't change a thing.
Given our past ownership plights, I struggle to get upset over it.

I think there is a balance. If the right player is available and fits into Jones methods and buys into his philosophy BUT costs 1-2million then we should be prepared to spend that much.
But on the other hand we don't want to be in the position of looking at someone whose on a temporary hot streak and throw money at names or reputations for the sake of it.
Getting the right players in could give the season a genuine boost but getting the wrong ones could equally derail it.

Agree.
I'm not expecting the club to spend a lot of cash.....if any. But what I would like, and what has been plainly obvious since August, is someone in midfield who can create opportunities & a wide player (or 2) who can relive TC & Small when they tire during games or get injured / suspended.
At this point we have a decent enough chance to be in with a shout of the play offs.....first time in 3 seasons. If the owners want to see a return on their money & not spend another c£10m just covering costs next season then I would have thought a little extra now isn't asking too much.

Late on in the season, Curbs signed Neal Healy, Mark Bright, Danny Mills and Eddie Yates - it gave us the edge to push for play offs and promotion
Should we be receptive to cash in by possibly selling Miles now, whilst he is still in contract? He has so much potential but we need an effective striker this month and onwards. Should we be gambling potential against using the funds to buy an older finished product?.
Admittedly its all a bit theoretical currently as I wouldn't imagine we would be getting big offers while he is in a quiet patch, unless a big club is prepared to gamble to buy that potential.
I think he goes in the summer, I only realised recently that his contract doesn't expire until the summer of 2026. Personally think he has great ability in certain areas but also glaring weaknesses that will hold him back if he doesn't address them. If we can consistently get the Godden from Tuesday night I don't think Miles will get in the team often anyway so should a big offer come in I'd consider it IF we can replace him with what you described.
What do you see as Leaburn’s glaring weakness? I’d say he’s more well rounded than most young strikers, and it’s more a case of consistency with his hold up play and doing better in the air considering his height, and improving little things like getting that bit fitter, adding a bit more aggression at times, none of which is unusual for a young player.
It’ll be interesting to see if Godden can keep his place. I think there will be games when we need more physicality up front, and Leaburn at some point will grab a goal or two and show why there’s not much between them.
Strength and aggression are his glaring weaknesses and unfortunately they are a natural thing - his 'dimensions' are far greater than Chucks but he doesn't possess anything like the same power - if he did, defenders would be bouncing off him
They are but TC has shown players can work on their strength. On aggression players don’t change their entire personality, but I remember Parker and Stephens both adding more to their game and becoming better players because of it. Konsa wasn’t impressive on that side of his game in L1 but look at him now.
Academy games also lack that physical side, some players need time to adjust and hold up strikers often mature with age - there are plenty of examples of target men peaking in their late 20s/early 30s.
Yes, it is striking that TC can shield the ball better than Leaburn, despite being half his size.

Oh how people forget the takeover threads and their page-to-takeover ratios :-)
makes me nostalgic - some of those takeover threads could be seen from outer space - despite RM's pleas, i think its been quite an achievement filling out 100 pages considering the scraps we've been working with
Allan Campbell got about 550 minutes. Terry Taylor about 500. Potts got 75. Hylton got 44. Edun and Asiimwe got 0 between them.

We're all desperate to get out of this division, I actually think our squad is in a relatively decent shape. A few more strong additions could make a huge difference but I can't understand the general panic.
Well imagine tomorrow Coventry gets a Charlton style 3 month injury and Berry breaks a leg.

Well if it happened tomorrow we would have time to scramble for a replacement as opposed to second guessing long term injuries to key players who have hardly missed a beat all year? To flip it back to you, imagine we spent £5m or something on 2 players, for us to not pick up a single knock or bump for the rest of the season? Would good what that serve?
I think we should blame @Chunes for all this... Pg.92 he said in his words... "nobody has thrown a tizzy!" and "This has got to be the most panic-free January window we've had in absolutely ages" - Just had to jinx it didnt he!!
