Good signing but maybe we could sign some defenders?

We need a Right-Back but thats it in Defence

We have no right or left back cover from what I can see? Page won't be playing.

Sarr and Oshilaja are all we've got.

I imagine we'll either find someone who covers both Right and Left Full Back positions (Like what RedChaser suggests)

Or if both Purrington / Page are injured then we'll switch to three at the back and play slightly differently

This and if Hemed doesn't get to play we need someone else up top because on Tuesdays showing and his own admission Bonne is not ready. Five full backs is definitely a luxury we can do without.

We have two fit full backs at present - not sure why you're going on about five? Page can't be relied on. We only have Sarr and Oshilaja as back up and they are primarily centre backs.

Bonne had next to no service against Forest Green so it's ludicrous to judge him on that. He would have won the game for us if JFC hadn't insisted on taking and missing the penalty.

We will struggle in the Championship if LB doesn't make defence more of a priority. I'm not convinced three at the back is a viable option with the players we have.

Hang on, Solly, Purrington, Page plus a right and left back you want to sign, equals five in my book. Given the tight budget, just the one will do provided he can play either side.

Sarr has played left back before often away from home and has done an ok job albeit at L1 level, as a temporary measure and Oshilaja is a mobile defender comfortable on the ball who should have no problem playing full back. In fact many congratulated Bowyer on the latter's signing because of his versatility comparing it to a Curbs type signing.

I never judge any player on one performance. The service may have been poor to Bonne the other night but surely you could see his movement, pace and touch was lacking (4.8 in the statbank), those are the basics you expect from a striker especially if he is going to cut it at this level. He needs time to adapt. That is why Hemed is crucial to get over the line failing which I'd rather we signed another forward than an extra full back. Each to his own though.

Being 4ft 11 myself, I know how he feels. He likes about my size !!. I remember him playing for Wallsall against us and wishing we had him. Pacey little player. Am I right in thinking we had him as a youngster when he first came over here? 

He towers above you son 

Reading the Bolton petty's army, maybe we should turn their nasty comments into a positive.  How about a song to the tune of the Nimoy's Bilbo Baggins song?  Ehrun, Ehrun, The greatest little midfielder of them all?

Don't understand this. We've got so many CMs already. Some of them will have to cover other positions when the inevitable injuries and suspensions come, but who?

OMG, don’t say our revered owner now has aspirations of us being Chelsea! From the ridiculous to the sublime …

signed as a central defender ? .. good little player, BUT it does complicate our, or rather Bowyer's, midfield selections. Presumably two or three of our younger players, Morgan, Lapslie, Wiredu, will be loaned out.
Bowyer is pleased to have him and he's not made many mistakes so far. That'll do for me.

Welcome Erhun and may you have a long and successful career with the mighty Addicks 

Should do well with the high balls into the box ...

Actually scored a header against us a couple of years ago and generally run us ragged. 

Also the added weapon Naby can toss him very high in the box when the ball comes in from corners.
