  • How is the poor guy's name pronounced - is it as in s*** or as in as dead as a .. ? Either way it doesn't seem very fair to place as much reliance on a young inexperienced player as we might be doing here. Difficult to believe that KR has been given what he was looking for - points much more to RD trying to save cash, hopefully before selling the club.
  • So compared to last season - we have signed 7 players (Fosu, Dodoo, Clarke, Marshall, Reeves, Amos and Dasilva (plus Kashi + Sarr returned)), how many have we seen out the door?

    7 Strikers: Ajose, Watt, Hanlan, Umerah, Vetokele, Novak and Mavididi

    2 Keepers: Rudd, Mitov

    4 Defenders: Chicksen, RJ, Thomas, Tex

    3 Midfielders: Botaka, Ulvestad, Byrne


    Am I missing anyone?

    Ceballos.

  • The fact he only started 16 games might be part of the issue.

    Coventry (h) 3-0, Scunthorpe (h) 2-1
    So has he started 16 games for us in the third division and we've won none of them? I'm asking as I don't know.

    If that stat is true then I'm more than happy that he's gone. For £6k a week we should be winning 10 out of every 16 games he starts, should we not?

    It's a bit of a myth to say you need to play third division football to get out of the third division. Yes, you don't want to get bullied, but play football.
    Agree but at the same time I think there's a reason teams at this level don't play with "false 9s" or some of the set ups you see at the highest level.

    unfair comparison though as we didn't see Vetokele last signing. If we could add either him or Mavididi to this squad then I would be excited.
  • Godden has scored 0 goals so far this season...

    Grigg has 1 goal his last 33 matches.

    Much better balance though wouldn't you say?
    All in all I think we have had a fairly decent transfer window. We have a very strong looking midfield and our defence looks good, barring injuries to Dasilva/Solly (although Dijksteel looks very good from what I have seen of him).

    I am not convinced on the keepers yet, but at least we didn't let phillips go without a replacement.

    Striker wise I think we are way off. I really like Mag, he puts himself about, is very strong and does contribute some important goals. We need more than one striker that can score though and I am amazed we have reached the end of the window in this position considering how well we did in recruiting for the midfield positions. I worry about what happens if/when Mag gets injured or is on international duty.

    I thought we needed two strikers in today , then Novak left and we only got one.
  • KAG and Dodoo are plan b - 442 with two 6 foot strikers.

    They clearly don't do risk assessments at Charlton

    Or contingency planning - almost worth one of our promotion rivals kicking lumps out of Magennis so as to remove us as a rival.
  • they never fall to disappoint----- utter clueless twats----if i hadnt already stopped going id boycott !

  • Every game this season, you could feel the crowd tense up every time Kashi goes down.

    This will be magnified every time Magennis goes down...

    I make it 14 starts in League One and one in each of the three cup competitions (so 17 in total). Three League One wins.

    I didn't particularly rate him and it goes without saying that Meire overpaid him, but you need experienced players in your squad.
  • And this is why I said I wasn't going to get excited until the window closed.
  • RHF will surprise everyone this season and we'll sell him next year for £15M

    Not sure we are missing any of those.

    Hackett and KAG will have to step up

  • We kept both Konsa and Holmes.

    Would have given odds against that happening 3 months ago.
  • it means fuck all keeping them if we r stuck in this shit league
  • Redrobo said:

    Kashi and Konsa stay. Nuff said.

    Agreed,I'm pleased we have them until January But they won't score 20 goals this year
  • it means fuck all keeping them if we r stuck in this shit league

    We could sell them, KR keeps the money, and we can be "stuck" in League Two. It CAN get worse.

  • The last Rangers striker we had did ok!

    I;m assuming you mean JJ. He was a proven goalscorer & a full International.
  • Quite a few players out there with out club's.Rickie lambert
  • I think this is the strongest squad we've had since Powell, In previous seasons we were easy to work out, with only one or two lines of supply (last year, stop Holmes or lookman you stop Charlton). This year we have goal threat all the way through the team.

    That said, I'm surprised we let Hanlan go out on loan today with Novak going out. Karl must have faith in KAG & RHF
  • Roland's constant reluctance to really kick on still baffles me each time.

    The priority is to attempt to balance the books.
  • I make it 14 starts in League One and one in each of the three cup competitions (so 17 in total). Three League One wins.

    Agreed!
