I don't think many are moaning or being ungrateful or forgetting the plight of the club of late, we have heard that we are bringing in 2/3 more players and just weighing up who would be best suited, alongside what we may hope.

I have faith in Gallen and Bowyer to get things over the line. Whoever comes in will hopefully improve us.1

Regardless of the very welcome ambition being shown by our new owner I think this season was always going to be a bridge too far for promotion. We started at a massive low point and in reality have started the groundwork for a promotion squad relatively well. Trying to find a 20 goal striker in the time and under the monetary constraints was always going to be the big challenge. Looks like we have failed in that respect. That’s not to say we might not be luckier in January or next summer. Think we’ll get on a bit of a roll by the end of November but I really do see our lack of proven firepower leaving us short. Late run into the playoffs is what I’m still hoping for. Can’t see top two no matter how hard I try.9

Not having a pre season with such a new group is going to be a huge miss imo.ShootersHillGuru said:Regardless of the very welcome ambition being shown by our new owner I think this season was always going to be a bridge too far for promotion.

I think it played a big part in our success during the last promotion season.4 -
If we get to the play-offs, or amazingly, outright promotion, that will be a huge bonus.
We are rebuilding the club and the squad (under a wage cap, too), which will take time.
You never know, but we need to manage our expectations. Repairing the damage done to the club in the last seven or so years will not happen overnight.
Still trust LB and SG to further strengthen the squad before 5pm, though.6 -
Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring!
There's still a two and a bit hours to deadline.2 -
The clock is ticking and I’m starting to worry that Jack Wilshere won’t be coming to Charlton now!21

But then we went into 2018/19 with a large amount of the squad missingcarly burn said:

We went to Sunderland with a very weak squad
If anything pre-season allowed Bowyer to see that Taylor / Grant was going to be key else it was Taylor and Vetokele0 -
And we have no idea how these new players will fit in to the team, if selected. Might turn out to promotion chasing, might be just mid table. But I wouldn’t be surprised if things don’t pick up over the next few weeks.Talal said:

I thought we'd have at least one sorted by now but still plenty of time. My fingers are really crossed for three but two would be ok given the cap restrictions

Charlton and deadline day don’t normally go well together.0

When flying kiwi says we’re trying to sign Marcondes but we only end up with proven L1 performer Andrew Shinnie...

Maybe so and that may be realistic, but I think our new owner is expecting a lot more than as "long as we stay up" this season.Talal said:

To be serious for a second, does anyone remember what happened with Danny Hollands? He was absolutely magnificent in League One the season we won that with a record points total.
The following season he struggled with the Championship and was quickly dropped from the team in late September.
It sounds like the story I’m hearing from Luton fans about Shinnie is exactly the same. Bosses L1, struggles a bit with the Championship.
Who here wouldn’t take another Danny Hollands in our midfield?13 -
No doubt and that's great, I just won't be disappointed if we don't.Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

Striker ? Another "striker" that doesn't score goals.ForeverAddickted said:
I think Smyth will be the Striker... Unless your talking about Thomas here?Scoham said:
Because a few articles call him a forward rather than a winger so some look at the stats and decide he’s an inexperienced striker who doesn’t score goals.Leuth said:I said this before but I'll say it again: why such resistance to Smyth? He's young, quick, hasn't found his feet yet, but according to people who know better than us has the ability to break through. He'd supplement our other forwards and we wouldn't necessarily depend on him. I know we only have room for 1 or 2 more players, but given a choice between him and Sorba Thomas, surely the one with league experience is preferable for a promotion push? Or we sign both!
There will be a social media meltdown if he signs before the striker is announced.2017– Queens Park Rangers 19 (2) 2019 → Accrington Stanley (loan) 15 (3) 2019–2020 → Wycombe Wanderers (loan) 19 (1)
6 goals in 53 games in 3 years ?
Lets hope we can sign a proven striker, one that actually scores goals otherwise we'll be struggling to even get in the play offs.2 -

Had you heard of him before today?Leuth said:Shinnie is the first one I'm not sure about, but Bowyer knows best I guess. I hope he doesn't have me missing Oztumer too much. If he can't pass a football then there are going to be some words
I thought it was his brother who is two years younger and played 150 odd games for Aberdeen.
I now realize that is Graham Shinnie and this one is Andrew Shinnie.0 -

this doesn't bode well for Dillon... Think he'll be a Charlton player come 5 o'clock

Shinnie should be okay for L1.
I note that he has one Scottish International Cap.0
