    If a local journalist states it's done and will be announced in the morning that's not a rumour as we know Richard Cawley has contact with Bowyer and Gallen.

    Andre Green confirmed
    To add more context to the loan-he was on loan at Preston and never really played so was recalled and sent to us.
  • Have seen him play a few times, exciting attacking midfielder - kind of similar to the Leko mould.

    Good timing to prove my point.

    And England youth pedigree, aged 21 passes height test at 5'11"😉.

  • Direct replacement for Leko, a winger or second striker which is where I suspect we'll use him most. Not available for tonight though.

    Dont worry, he can get injured in the cup instead

    He'll enjoy his goals against WBA.

    So........we desperately need a striker that was able to play tonight & we get a winger who can't.

    2020 has started well then.
  • Decent player, pretty happy with that.

    Assume he wasn't registered in time.

    Saving him for the cup on Sunday, need an old head to child mind the under 10's on the bench 😉

    Bit of a shame he can’t help out tonight, but surely a young, hungry, tried and tested player in this league who helped his team get promoted last year is better than a few players that have been suggested on here. Just because he’s not at a top six club doesn’t mean he’s not a good signing. Really hope we can get Keinan Davis from them too. He was awesome against us pre season.

    Replacement for Leko but don't think it will work out the same. The bloke is a winger and we are going to try use him as a striker, doesn't make sense to me.

    We just need bodies at the moment. The situation is that bad. Welcome Andre. 
  • Maybe we will look to switch to the dreaded 4-2-3-1, wouldnt be a bad shout with the personnel we have available.

                                Phillips
    solly/matthews Lockyer Sarr/pearce Purrington
                     Pratley    Morgan
    Green               Gallagher         Doughty
                          Taylor

    Add Williams (who will be back on bench on Sunday) and we could move gallagher back and play JW number 10.

    Now we know why it wasn't leaked. Nobody gave a s**t!

    Why the secrecy?

    @sage Alex Neil explains here why Green has barely played. It is a bit concerning re arthritis in his toe as I don't think that gets better, does it?

    He tore us apart for Villa in pre-season and also did very well against us for Portsmouth last season. 

    I've therefore seen him twice and both times he looked very useful.

    Exactly what we did with Leko.
  • First time I have heard Dennis Srbeny mentioned.

    He has scored 3 goals in 35 appearances for Norwich. Many of those were championship games where Norwich dominated possession (& he still couldn't score!)

    Sounds a very Charlton like forward!

    Phillips
    Matthews | Lockyer | Pearce | Purrington
     Pratley | Morgan
    Green | Gallagher | Doughty
    Taylor

    That's probably our strongest 11 right now. Sarr to come on late to add additional goal threat/defensive height
