    Stand down! Mason Burstow has gone to Bolton on loan. 

    What this means for Ahadme I don't know.... 
    If they start this season with a strikeforce of Ahadme and Burstow, I’ll not be putting any money on them going up!
    I don't think they've got any fit strikers at all from what I can tell from their friendly lineups.

    For Knibbs wouldnt it make more sense to go to Wrexham because of the closer proximity to the York Railway Mueseum
    Seen rumours that Knibbs is actually a plane fan. The proximity to London City Airport swung the deal our way.

    Whether we want someone like that at the club is a different matter. 
    Well, let's hope we can land him or we'll have to wing it, and our season may not take off.
  • Based on Knibbs signing, Berry, Burke, Godden, Mannion and Taylor being out injured, and working on the assumption that Ahadme leaves, and Kanu and Asiimwe head out on loan within the next two weeks, I expect us to line up as follows against Watford…

     

    GK – Kaminski

    RCB – Ramsey

    CB – Jones

    LCB – Bell

    RWB/RW – Apter

    LWB – Edwards

    CM – Coventry

    CM – JRC

    CAM – Knibbs

    FW/LW – Tanto

    FW – Kelman

     

    Subs:

    AMB

    Z Mitchell

    Macca

    Docherty

    Anderson

    Carey

    TC

    Leaburn

    MBick

     


  • Wing it? Are we bringing Lewis Wing in too in a double Reading deal? ;)

    they have been playing two inexperienced kids, read they are after at least two senior strikers.

    Thought they were in for Ahadme ?

    Pretty close to my take on the team

  • What’s Burkes injury? Do we even know if he is long term?
  • What's everyone's thoughts on Doc. Will NJ drop him to the bench? I find it hard to believe he won't play against Watford

    why is everyone leaving out Doch? Surely he starts 
    Posted before I saw this. 
  • I might be going mad but didn't someone try Karoy at RWB and it was a complete disaster??

    He played there very briefly in a game last season I think

    Knibbs is basically Karoy Anderson but with the ability to score goals.
    With due respect, he’s nothing like Karoy
    He looks pretty Karoy-like in a couple of these clips…

    Completely unfair to compare Karoy to Knibbs. 

    Knibbs is an established high end League 1 player who is ready for the championship.

    Karoy wouldn't be able to stand out like Knibbs has in League 1 and look as comfortable for 3 seasons in a row, especially with those attacking numbers. Sorry but it's true. 

    Whether or not Karoy gets better we don't know, but right now he's not even close to him or similar.
    Think it was probably meant as in winning the ball back in high areas. Neither are especially rapid but both seem to have very good acceleration so are quicker than most players over short 5-10 yard distances. Which is perfect for winning the ball back in a press, which it looks like he does in a similar way to Karoy 

    Knibbs obviously has way more quality on the ball and going forward than Karoy, which is why he’s a number 10 and Karoy will end up as more a box to box ball winner

    you can still compare the two without saying they're identical. I also see a lot of similarities with Knibbs being a much more rounded player clearly
    Yeah but to say they're the same player except for the goals, come on. 

    Harvey Knibbs will more or less be a guaranteed starter in a championship side this season, Karoy was a bench player for a League 1 promoted side. 

    Karoy has a decent ceiling, but I have seen nothing of Karoy to suggest he is similar to Knibbs.

    Maybe I am underrating him, but saying he is Knibbs without the goals is overrating him for sure imo.

    No, that bird has flown

    Yeah I was ignoring the order

                                        Kaminski

       Apter    Ramsey       Jones            Bell          Edwards

                            Docherty            Coventry                     

                                         Carey

                                  TC            Kelman


    Is probably what I'm expecting but could easily see a few different options for the front 3

    Maybe, Karoy is like Knibbs 5 or 6 seasons ago?

    I will be gobsmacked if TC starts over Tanto

    Remember when Bowyer started Paul Smyth at RWB in one game during lockdown?

    absolute chaos haha
    At home to Rochdale if I recall and Kwado Baah ripped him apart for 45 mins. Was that game also Ronnie Schwartz's only goal?

    A taxi left Sparrows at about 17:30 last night and headed towards Eltham Park Station.
    Eltham Park Station that is a blast from the past.
    What a nice station it was with its covered walkways. From recollection, the last time I used it was on the way back from Fulham Away.


    Ah, at last ..... a proper Charlton Life post with a train  :D

    I remember well Eltham Park station, and using the Bexleyheath line.
    Opened in 1908 and with more impressive adornment, especially to appeal to the more refined prospective buyers envisaged of the new Corbett Estate, then being built around it.

    When first opened, superior to other stations on the line, it even had available a 1st class ticket holder facility, plus separate Ladies waiting rooms with toilets.
    Even during the late 60s, 70s and early 80s when I knew it, it still retained a faded elegance.

    It was closed in 1985 with the widening of the A2 and the building of the new Eltham station across the road from Eltham Well Hall station, also closed at the same time.

    Things you didn't know you needed to know - part 3  :) 
     

    Nice early photo of Kidbrooke station with RAF Kidbrooke in the background .

    Doc will start v Watford and be captain said it many times 
  • Redhenry said:

    The excitement of squeezing as many new signings into the team as possible.

    JRC on paper should be an upgrade on Doc, but things don’t always play out how you’d expect.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of the new players are on the bench to start with, rather than all being thrown in from the start.

    Thank god. He won't be playing then.

    Could actually see Doc and JRC start alongside Coventry in midfield against Watford
    Would be amazed by that, there's no attacking focal point to that midfield
