  • Will be interesting when Inniss next lays out someone who gets in his way and gets sent off and gets a 5 match ban who will play centre half.

    What's Kilkenny like there? Talking of which, the poor sod must wonder what on earth he has walked into.

    45 mins and counting Where's the striker? Where's the supposed Edwards deal?
    What striker?

    Why are you so convinced we are signing a striker

    People go on about needed a striker but in reality only 5 teams have scored more than us this season, and logically we play 1 upfront, Bonne/Leaburn rotate and Aneke as reserve when fit then we have Kanu who can play their if needed as well.

    Im more concerned that we have lost CBs and conceding is where we have been having issues
    You not heard of injuries ?  loss of form ? suspensions ?

    Cast your mind back just 12 months when the transfer window shut without us getting back up for our strikers & then Washington AND Stockley both got injured & we were playing Burstow & Kanu upfront.

    But of course, that can't happen again. 
    Your moaning we are signing a 30 year old winger because he isn't one for the future

    Your moaning we are not signing a striker to be 4th choice in case we get injuries

    Instead of moaning tell us who you think we could get

    But remember based on your guidelines 

    They have to be 

    A striker
    Good enough to play
    Young that we can sell on

    But also remember this

    They have to be willing to be backup to Bonne/leaburn

    They have to be willing to accept this season is probably over

    They have to accept we could be
    sold

    They have to accept are managers contract is over in may and the new manager may not want him.


    Sooooooo you got this magical name or you just gonna carry on moaning
    Probably say it is not his job.
    Right on the money! lol

    We are a couple of injuries from disaster. Just because our whole squad is shit, it doesn't mean moving a lot of shit on and replacing them with loans or short term freebies improves anything.

    In six months' time we are left with AMB, Egbo, Ness, Morgan, Dobson, Fraser, CBT, Leaburn and Kanu.

    If you think Barker, Deje, Clayden etc mean we have a team that finishes ANYWHERE but bottom half you are deluded!

    We are 14th currently.   The squad above doesn't touch what we have now.

    Wake uo
    Wbat actual reality of results can argue what we are left with improves on this years' results???!
    Where have I said we've improved? Or that we have a squad capable of doing well? I simply asked what players you were bothered about losing. I notice you haven't answered that. 

    The bottom line is bar O'Connell, all the players we've lost were out of favour. Mac, JFC and Thomas were out of contract in the summer anyway. Of the 5 that weren't, 3 are still Charlton players come the end of the season. The only other one is Stockley, who wasn't doing anything. 

    I'm not trying to argue this window has been progress. Clearly moving out players and replacing them with loans and freebies on short-term deals is not progress. It does not however, impact next season when everyone, except for O'Connell, would need to be flogged in the summer anyway.

    Bed time? 
    Thomas is better than nothing, but not the CB I would have kept. If the Edwards deal has collapsed, I'm surprised we're letting DJ go.

    so, we kept Thomas who hasn't played much at all this season & let EOC & Lavell to leave.

    makes sense  :(
    We've chosen to keep the free transfer on zero money over players that can actually compete in League One. 

    Backwards thinking from a management team that don't have a clue. 

    Andy Scott walks off with his commission though so it's all fine.

    So our winger options are literally CBT, Campbell and Rak-Sakyi, quality  :|
    Would imagine the plan is for Payne, Clare and Kanu to be options if we are desperate. Or more likely a switch back to Holdens favoured 3-5-2

    If you lot lose the plot over Lavelle and Thomas going, you need your bumps read. I get the feeling over O'Connell but those two are shit. 
    But we need a squad. Currently leaves us with Inniss, Ness and a crocked Hector.
    Is Hector crocked?
    Evidently he’s been training with Chef Wendy for quite a while and for the last two or three days with us, reported to be in tip top condition.
    Doesn’t sound like he’s crocked to me…..unless you know otherwise that is?
    Apparently he didn't complete his medical with Sheff Wed, who he had been training with this season

    He hasn't played at all this season

    That doesn't scream "match fit" to me.  
    But doesn’t mean he’s crocked, you’re just being your usual negative self.🙄🙄🙄
    If Hector plays before the start of March I'll eat my hat.

    If he actually makes it through 60 mins before Easter I'll eat 2 hats.

    So we have Ness , Inniss , Hector , Thomas with Mitchell plus Clare in a 3 .. if needed .We have Clare ,SS, Kane and Penny as full
    backs with Woolacot and AMB as keepers 

    not bad is it and we cleared the players who between them have hardly played 5 games since Holden been in charge … 

    It’s the window people wanted .. well
    its been a good one ready for the summer

    So the round up would be....

    Stockley - 
    Kirk - Campbell 
    DJ - 
    Mcgrandles - Henry
    JFC - Kilkenny
    O'Connell - Ness 
    Lavelle - Héctor 

    Addressed the lb issue and covered Egbo's injury.

    Meh. It's a cheaper bench at least. 

    Personally, I'd be giving Connor Wickham a contract to the end of the season to cover the rotating 3rd spot with Aneke. 

    Meh.

    You always pretend you’re in the know and I don’t think you’ve ever been right and you’ve been caught out again.
    Fair. Wrong on both Thomas and Edwards today who were both 'done'
    Steady. A bit of context:

    It's been said that Thomas move called off because O'Connell signed for Wrexham. Thomas stays as cover.

    Gwion Edwards signing but failed medical.


  • I recall @Henry Irving saying something like ‘bumpy ride ahead’. He wasn’t wrong.

    This has been a terrible window and clear indicator of Charlton's direction of travel. Both Dobson and Leaburn will go in the summer.

    Anyone putting a positive spin on this window is a mouth breather.

    Even if he isn't crocked he hasnt played a competitive game all season and eight in total in the previous two. However, was reported in the Sheffield Star that he completed the first part of his medical and was then given two days off, didn't return to complete it. Plus comments from their manager, Darren Moore, suggested he isn't yet fit to play. Smacks of Harry Arter, Joe Ledley to me.
    He won't be match fit now, but the last 2 seasons he was regularly on the bench for Fulham, so it's not as if he was injured. 

    So he's unready rather than crocked, which will be a major issue if we lose a centre back in the next few weeks.
    So why did he leave Fulham in May 2022 and it's taken him until February 2023 to get a new deal, a six month deal at that, yet he's apparently fucking brilliant?

    In which case they aren't done or definite until everything is signed are they?

    So we started the window with a barebones first 11 and no depth.

    I don't know. Maybe he was holding out for a Championship club, and they weren't interested.

    Citation needed. 

    Our bench is filled now with players that haven't played in multiple years or kids. Depth, what depth?
