Going into tomorrow, our striker options (for one place) are: Stockley, Aneke, Leaburn, Kanu
The fact that we have Aneke puts us in a difficult situation as theoretically the numbers we have (4) should cover us for the formation we want to play.
But the problem is that Chuks can't be relied stay fit and so, treating the real number as 3, we need someone with senior experience added to the group. I'd argue that we needed that additional senior presence last season too.
To reiterate, we are playing a formation this year that requires one striker fewer than we did last season. Hence it makes sense to have one striker fewer in the squad than we did last season. Add to the fact that Davison wasn't here while Aneke came in and we are in my opinion, no better or worse in terms of bodies vs positions to fill than we were at the end of last year.
The problem is that we were one short then and we remain one short now.
Asking for two is too much and will stunt the development of those same players.
It won't stunt his growth.
Disagree.
Daniel Kanu is 18 in November. Why shouldn't he be in the 1st team squad around December? We are League 1 and Kanu should be introduced to the squad around the Xmas Fixtures3 -

I'd like Kanu to come through and develop into the striker he's showing the signs of being but a few weeks of being wrestled, bodychecked and booted into the air by some of the more rugged specimens of defender in league one could set him back considerably if we're not careful.1 -

Going into tomorrow, our striker options (for one place) are: Stockley, Aneke, Leaburn & Kanu.

We might only need 1 "striker" but the options are hardly awe inspiring. I bet you before too long Leaburn will the main striker (either due to injury or suspension) and he will follow in his father's footsteps of being asked to compete way before his time. Carlo was a force later in his career with us but the first 3 seasons he was ridiculed & I just hope it doesn't happen to his son.0 -
Callumcafc said:I mean, we finished 13th in a season where our striking options were Leko, Lee, Burstow and Kanu for a two month stretch ffs.
Things can't get any worse than that, can they?0 -
Garrymanilow said:golfaddick said:Garrymanilow said:golfaddick said:BetterCallSaul said:For what it's worth, with a month to go, I think our transfer window so far has been pretty impressive
lost 2 strikers that haven't been replaced
lost a left footed left back that hasn't been replaced
recruited 3 defenders, a defensive midfielder, a goalkeeper (that wasn't a priority) and 1 attacking midfielder.
In a team last year that didn't score enough goals to even get into the top half of the league. I understand you "build from the back" but goals win you games.
Currently I would give the "rebuild" 5 out of 10. The squad itself about a 7 (and that's being generous)
We start our first game tomorrow with just 1 fit striker. If Stockley gets injured or sent off tomorrow we have big problems.
But I'm just a doom monger & everything will be alright once the transfer window closes on Sept 1st.
Its funny, because in a World Cup squad you find Countries will almost invariably take 3 goalkeepers when they might only be playing 3 or 4 games, and will be lacking players upfront (Look at the 2006 WC when Bent didn't go). This is a 46 game season & currently we might have just 1 senior striker available tomorrow if Aneke isn't fit.
pfft.Come off it. Aside from the fact the answer to all three being out is, obviously, Leaburn plays, how many strikers should we have competing for one spot just in case then? Should we have 5 first team strikers hanging around hoping that Stockley's legs explode? 10? What if we have 15 and then all get injured. WHY DIDN'T WE PLAN FOR IF WE HAD 15 STRIKERS INJURED?? Last season we had Stockley, Washington and Davison up to January and then Stockley, Washington and Aneke from there. Burstow was a youth player we catapulted up because we were short. It wasn't enough. This season we will, hopefully have Stockley, Aneke, another striker and Leaburn as part of the squad, with Kanu hopefully developing if real disaster strikes. Three proper first team options, Leaburn pushing to play and then some youth options if things are really desperate. We only need one more striker to meet that, not two.The reason teams take 3 goalkeepers to the World Cup is because the rules say you have to. 'Three players must be goalkeepers, with the number 1 shirt reserved for one of them'.0 -

I think he did well for us, and his own goal at Wembley was unfortunate, think he could still do a job in league one, also good to see him get some recognition with a ship being named after him

SouthLincsAddick said:Brighton Addick said:FishCostaFortune said:killerandflash said:Covered_End_Lad said:I do feel that a portion of our fanbase need to wake up and realise we are a league one side. People seem to expect us to be spending millions on household names.SCMP means we can only spend 60% of turnover on wages. Sensibly this stops clubs paying way beyond their means unless they have a super rich owner who is happy to throw money at it at their own cost and not risking the future of the club.Overall considering the limitations of being a league one club I think we have assembled a good squad that should be competing for the top 6 at a minimum. We can probably all agree our defence and midfield look stronger than the last few years, yes we need a couple of additions up top to give us options but one is almost through the door and we should sign another prior to the window closing.It feels like a corner of our support will use any excuse to bash the club/owner. We are a third division side with a top end third division budget.Myself, I am excited to see how we get on this season. BG will have us playing a good style of football and I am confident he will get us into the playoffs.
They had us in 8th for last season. Ahead of both Blackpool and Wigan...
Only got one placing correct?0 -
Would keep still like to keep JFC and let Gilbey go.3

I can't see either of them going on loan to Morecambe can you?0 -

is it true Elewere has gone to Wealdstone? Thought he would be back up to Innis, Lavelle and O’Connell 🤷♂️0
-
I don't get that move at all. Cool we can call him back, but I would have thought he was further in the first team plans than letting him go on loan0

Thought he would be back up to Innis, Lavelle and O’Connell 🤷♂️Best of luck to academy graduate Deji Elerewe who has joined @WealdstoneFC on loan until January 🤝The Addicks have the option to recall Elerewe at any point during the loan after the first 28 days.1

The recall clause is key I guess. In the short term we'll make do with Ness I suspect8

More faith in Inniss's body......3

Beauty of a Non-League loan... If we get an injury after those 28-days... then we just recall him.
Nice that we seem to have a decent relationship with Wealdstone, as seems a good way to get our kids into the National League who play a decent style of Football - Wonder if Dylan Gavin will end up there too5
