  • I wont believe it until he posts the "big fish" thing 😂😂
  • Sol Campbell in poll position for Swindon job whem vacant shortly.  Paul Tilsdale is second in line. 
    How many of us would have wanted Tissy 18 months - 2 years ago?
  • Usually when bookies suspend betting it is cut and dried.
  • After the initial reaction when Garner was mentioned have people changed their thoughts now ? Would he be a decent signing or not ?
  • I don't particularly want Garner, but I'm willing to get behind him.

    Yes he would be decent, I said so before he was mentioned.

    He wouldn't be my choice if I ran the club but they way the club is run he would be on my short list.

    I’ve no idea with Charlton any more. 

    Is Garner a smart up-and-coming coach who plays attractive, modern football, or a Palace reject who got the push from Bristol Rovers? 
    Is TS a good owner, or a power crazed dictator with a guitar who has installed his son as a sort of CEO? 
    Is Albie Morgan the worse midfielder we’ve got, or the man to lead us to the title?

    Think I’ll just enjoy the cricket this summer and forget about it for a bit.
    Enjoy cricket ? mm. Is that a 'tongue in cheek' joke? Gee Charlton must be bad to watch.

    When you support Charlton at football and Sussex at cricket, Charlton is my chance to enjoy the good times nowadays.
  • Excellent post and mirrors what I think, once I saw the image that has been posted previously (will attach again for reminder) and heard him talk my mind was made up, you just cant fluke those kind of team traits/stats, especially at a lower level with a lower budget where you can’t cherry pick players.

    I genuinely believe he’s gonna be the manager to elevate Albies game and get the best out of Fraser. I’m excited to see what he can do with better players at his disposal. 
    Well we can only hope, but it’s also possible he’ll be the manager to say that he hasn’t quite got what it takes, if we want to progress. He’s had more chances to prove himself than most young players get, but just when you think it might happen for him he tends to miss that final pass, or will fail to hit the target when shooting. Would be happy if Garner could get ten or twenty percent more out of him of course. 
  • As stated above, I think Fraser would be a vital cog in Garner's system. That's exciting. I think Chuks and CBT will also be workable, maybe even Kirk.

    I can't see how Stockley would fit in though.
    Garner made good use of Davison at Swindon, a not dissimilar player.

    Also will allow us to mix it up on occasion and when you cross a ball you want him in the middle.
  • Very similar to the stats produced by Manning at MK Dons. Neither sides managed to get promoted. However it will be nice to see a team with an actual game plan, rather than looking totally disjointed and clueless. 
    Doesn’t prove you can’t get promoted with a possession style of course. Both would have gone up automatically with one more win. That could come down to one poor performance in which they lost 1-0 but should have scored 2 or 3.

    I don’t generally want tippy tappy football at the back but if it gets results and we’re one of the top scorers in the division then that’s very different to what we’ve seen before. Robinson and Peeters tried it but we didn’t have the players for it, especially not at the attacking end of the pitch. It could be great to watch if we get the right signings in.
