    Leko has scored 5 goals in 86 appearances. Let's hope Adkins finds a way to get the best out of him.

    Why is this liked so much?
    Good window my arse 
    Because we (almost) all like to be optimistic and feel encouraged by the optimism of others. 
    Plus it looked like it was going to be worse.

    Not signing a left back this window will go down as a historically bad decision 
    Not for the Rodney household. It’s a masterplan for them.

    Leko is a weird one.
    Kirk, DJ, CBT, Clayden. Do we need another winger?
    Imo......No.
    But you've been calling for a pacey striker? Leko scored 1 in 4 for us in the Champ and let's be honest, we wasn't a particularly good side who created loads of chances each game. 
    My concern is in the 65 games he’s played for other teams  - including his last 38 for Birmingham - he’s scored exactly zero goals.

    MacG
    Matthews Inniss Famewo Purrington
    DJ Morgan Arter Kirk
    Leko Stockley

    Subs: Harness, Gunter, Lavelle, Watson, Clare, Lee, Washington

    Me thinks we have quite a good squad

    Swap Morgan with someone and we’ll be ok.

    To me the squad looks unbalanced, with too many central midfielders. If we hadn't signed Clare and Dobson, then Arter would have made a lot of sense, but as it is we seem over provided there now, when we have only 1 (injured) LB and NO decent U23s to bring in either.

    I guess we’re sending the drummers out on loan then.

    Best deadline day in ages. Yes we left it late, (As TS said we would with a couple), but all in all I think this was a pretty good window. Hope we can somehow end up with another Left Back because that hole is still very glaring, but I am very happy with the business we've done. Don't really think we were fishing in the bargain barrel for any of these either. Money spent, which is good news

    WHAT IF all these shit players we've got, plus the 2 extra shit ones "in the bag", all gell and a decent keeper comes in on loan in the next couple of weeks?

    Give em a chance ffs
    Amen! 

    "Adults" on here need to have a good look at themselves. Squad is looking decent and a chance for a free transfer or 2 if need be.

    Righting off CBT and co makes me wonder why people even bother supporting the team 

    Ok it was a League 2 defence, but for 60 minutes CBT was excellent tonight, as a winger or running inside. His goal was bizarre but he still scored. 

    If we can just have some luck with players not constantly getting injured we may have a chance of some consistency.

    I didn't think we were ever going to replace Aneke but I guess we are hoping that our 4 wingers plus Lee will score goals.


    Only listened on the radio but sounded like Crawley were awful down the flank CBT was playing and he could waltz through their defence at will. Need to see him do it against a decent league one defence.

    Don’t see how you come to the conclusion that the 10 we’ve brought in makes a bad window. 
  • Never rated Leko, let's see how he does in league 1

    Kermorgant had scored around 17 in 110 appearances before he joined us.

    Couldn't give a shit how they go in to be honest
  • Very happy with attacking players of the quality of Lee & Leko coming in. Pleasantly suprised about the Morecambe CB too (glad we've learnt from last season not to take risks in important positions where we have injury prone players).

    Another Left back is less critical. Purrington is solid, back in training & will be fit for our next game against Cheltenham in circa two weeks (so not bringing in another really is not the end of the world).

    Definitely feeling more optimistic than I did after the Wigan match a couple of weeks back. 

    Up the addicks!

    Arter’s in the team and I’m not sure how well Lee would do in a midfield 2. Anyway, good dilemma to have!

    The 1st team is good but the squad is awful

    Matthews Inniss Famewo Purrington
    Clare Arter
    DJ Lee Kirk
    Stockley

    Looks a very good XI to me. Second XI of:

    Harness (emergency loan if needed)
    Gunter Lavelle Pearce Roddy
    Morgan Dobson
    CBT Gilbey Leko
    Washington

    Plus Watson, Davison and Schwartz. I don't think we'll run away with the league but it looks reasonably strong. There is an obvious weakness but I doubt many League 1 sides can genuinely say they don't have a position or two that looks weak.
