Charlton calendar survivor

I've now received my annual Christmas gift of a Charlton calendar, and while this year's one functions terribly as an actual calendar, it's always a good way of ruining checking your schedule with a player who's decided to leave. Last year was a disaster; Alfie Doughty left in his month, Bowyer was gone by his, Marcus Maddison was August and we had so few players going into it that James Vennings was September. The year before that Gallagher was one of the months in the new year and I don't want to talk about it. So for this year, who do we think isn't going to be a Charlton player any more by the time their month comes around? Who seemed like a good idea to take a picture of at the time but will be a month of regret when we get there? Place your bets. Winner gets nothing.
January - Ryan Inniss
February - Alex Gilbey
March - Conor Washington
April - Jason Pearce
May - Diallang Jaiyesimi
June - Albie Morgan
July - George Dobson
August - Craig MacGillivray
September - Sam Lavelle
October - Jayden Stockley
November - Charlie Kirk
December - Sean Clare

Morgan to go on loan this month and on the released list when it’s announced in May or June.
Can see Kirk going too.
The others should still be here.0 -
Must be the first time in a long time we have had six 1st team players under contract to use past June.1

Will we take up the extra year with Inniss?0

However, saying all that, there is usually one mainstay / surprise that doesn't make it so as a punt I'm saying DJ being sold/gone by the time his month is due.0 -

Might have been good to alternate between men's and womens team players or a joint pic for each month.1

The Kirk and Morgan pictures may need a new face stuck on.0

Charlton is a small business once you take the football side and matchday staff out. The calendar is a minor item.
Communications, probably, will come up with a list of players that are lower risk (we were doing this 20 years ago), but the lead times are so long that it’s always guesswork. I doubt if it’s put together later than October. More likely September.
The design brief looks to have been flawed to me - Mrs Airman, whose background is in print production, made the same comment re the lack of writing space.

January - Ryan Inniss - he'll still be on the books come May, we just won't see much of him at allFebruary - Alex Gilbey - hopefully we see lots of him through to May and beyondMarch - Conor Washington - as AGApril - Jason Pearce - no chance he'll have left, hopefully we'll see only cameos from JPMay - Diallang Jaiyesimi - he'll probably remain a regular under JJJune - Albie Morgan - doubt we'll see him in league matchesJuly - George Dobson - first name on the team sheetAugust - Craig MacGillivray - 2nd name on the team sheetSeptember - Sam Lavelle - see RI we might be seeing him a bit more at the start of next termOctober - Jayden Stockley - see AG & CWNovember - Charlie Kirk - happy to see him turn up for some other mob before the end of this season, no chance he's starting next season with usDecember - Sean Clare - if the squad is anything like properly balanced I'm not sure where he fits in, sobering indeed that he's by far our best right sided defender, who's actually available, be sad if he's not still with us this time next year.0

Right, onto the important stuff. The window has closed and pending any bizarre cancelled contracts everyone should make it through to Christmas. Overall apart from the fact the actual calendar was rubbish, it's been an unusually good year! The players we have now lost (Washington, Gilbey, Pearce) made it through their months unscathed and some unlikely survivors have held on. Despite the signing of Wollacott, Mac managed to make it through as the August poster boy, and both Kirk and Clare have survived despite that not always looking too likely at the start of the year.Enjoy the rest of the calendar year in peace, or just be annoyed about other things.5
