    I am a fan of Campbell, part the way he was so easily marked out of the play-offs games makes me think he will need to improve quite a bit to step up to Champ level
    I take some hope from how well he played against Preston in the cup

  • I think people worrying about TC are barking up the wrong tree - it was Doherty, Berry, up front and GK that urgently needed improving and we have. 
    I think that's a bit harsh on Mannion.
    Disagree - think it was urgent to upgrade on Mannion for the champ and clearly NJ did too (some were even saying he wasn’t good enough for our promotion push last year).

    Really does doesn't it. Knibbs will be fuming if thats true
    If this is really the case then I don't think the deal is definitely off.
    If Knibbs makes it clear he wants to go and his agent puts pressure on Reading they might yet come to their senses and get the deal done. 
    Called this one right.

    Considering how many games he's played the last few years I never believed it was because of a failed medical  
    FYI - The delay wasn’t down to Reading playing silly buggers. The real reason doesn’t matter anymore, but nothing to do with Reading or medical. 
    If it doesn't matter anymore then I'm sure you can divulge what it was
    More important to clarify when something is incorrect. If it’s not a Charlton -Reading issue, or a medical issue it must purely be down to money. Some people are happy to make decisions immediately, other prefer to take a bit longer. It doesn’t matter because it got resolved. 


    It was only a delay because people said it was 100% done when it was probably 99% done etc.

    Ok
    So what we know. 
    One 
    Charlton were desperate to sign the player 
    Two
    The player said he wanted to come to Charlton. 
    Three 
    There was no problem with the medical. 

    So I think we can all assume money was the issue

    NTTT podcast got us finishing 19th.

    What's wrong with that?
    Nothing at all. But I've heard some, not necessarily on here getting far too carried away.
    Heart always rules the head when it comes to your football club.
    But when you boil it down, we have a lot of players unproven at the level. Even a couple that didn't cut it when last here.
    This was just a bit of a sobering outside view.
    One of the hosts,George Elek is an Oxford fan. He said they followed a similar path when they went up. Cherry picking some of the best league one had to offer. Fair few of them turned out no too great in the champ.
    Exactly. 

    We've created a cheat code L1 squad, but it's still to be seen how many of the players will compete at a higher level.
  • If we were to go down, this team should go up with 138 points
  • I don’t think we’ll get relegated. I think we’ve had a really great window and NJ has strengthened nearly everywhere needed so far.

    I think the best way to react to a team getting promoted is to strengthen in your weakest positions and keep your better players from last year and I think we’ve done that in Knibbs, Kelman, Kaminski. Etc. 

    I think people worrying about TC are barking up the wrong tree - it was Doherty, Berry, up front and GK that urgently needed improving and we have. 
    Let’s hope Knibbs, Kelman and Kaminski are known as KKK

    132 points, Millwall go down too but despite then suffering a humiliating double relegation, they'll still beat us in both games

    I feel like people saying he was injured etc were struggling with the potential rejection. Making out like there was an injury issue was a good coping mechanism. 

    Sort of like when a fit bird turns you down and you make out to your mates she wasn't all that anyway

    I might not be totally honest tbh😁😁

    NTTT podcast got us finishing 19th.
    Not convinced by the signings.
    Where’s their Championship predictions? I had a look but can only see L1 and L2?
    Came out today. I think they’re very fair in their comments (although they seemed to have forgotten that Small had signed for Preston which is very unlike them)

    19th is a very sensible prediction for us and I am pretty sure most of us would take that now. Most of our star signings haven’t played this high so they are a gamble. But, as they stated, we have an outstanding manager.

    If we finish above Blackburn as they predict we’ll have had a decent season.
    I'm sure many would have us last but for Wednesday. I think we will have a few hairy results but ultimately be ok and 19 th is a good bet

    However there is a lot of risk in our side with quite a few of our signings being good Lge 1, so will need to step up and there is always the blend factor. It took Jones till December to blend his squad and knowing how he wanted them to play. That's tome we cannot afford this season.
  • I think outs are going to be our next business. Tipped by many, AMB, A Mitchell, Ahadme, Kanu, Taylor. Either loan or perm, some are worth a fee to L1 but doubt we will get one. A few kids to go on loan, but I can see players like Doc, Berry and Godden being unhappy at being down the pecking order and wanting a move.  Fullah will get more game time than them. Nominal fees but doubt we will be too bothered. Perhaps a further clear-out in January if others are not up to the mark. I can also see us getting another under the radar forward. Tovide?
    The likes are Doc, Godden and Berry are model pros who would understand they might get more limited game time this season. Can't see them pushing to leave, they'd just knuckle down and do their bit for the team whenever asked.
    I'll agree with that - these players just need to be involved, and get regular game time even if only from the bench. 

    They are also vital 'dressing room players' and leaders - they are currently essential to NJ' s way of doing things. 

    There's also another thing these 3 have, that many of the squad don't have - recent Championship experience. 

    Why would NJ not use that to advantage?

    I get that, but reading released a statement saying that we had pulled out. That suggests that the deal was a lot less than 99% done
