    Not a match goer, I survive vicariously off of the kind graces of you doughty CL'ers who still go and watch our shower live and rave about Dobson.

    However is there any mileage in the opinion that George was a shining diamond of hope in a team of endemic losers and League Two's got talent audtionees?

    We have recruited well so far, and given a fair wind I reckon Dobbo will soon be a distant bollock pang, until of course he scores a wonder goal from the halfway line at the Valley for Wrexham.

    that looks a better use of budget than shelling out to re-sign Dobbo. All looking a lot better now, good work in the last few days.

    I think that it's fair to say overall that Doherty replacing Dobson is much more welcome than Godden replacing May, and more likely to be successful too. 

    If Dobson really is definitely gone for good it's still a shame as he genuinely was a good player and left in pretty rotten and probably avoidable circumstances... but this signing goes a long way to softening the blow I feel.

    That’s another good signing. 
    Bookie’s odds haven’t shifted though.

    I'm fairly surprised we have signed him, always looked good when I've seen him play and was part of Hulls side last season. Had a touch of the Kinsellas about him
    In that case, it's a double thumbs up from me.

    NJ knows what he is going.

    19 League starts in 2 seasons. A bit on the low side, so we've done well to get him in for a full preseason.

    Not quite grasping this idea of a player replacing a player and trying to make a direct individual comparison. It seems pretty clear to me that the player recruitment has been specifically designed to build the system and style of play Nathan Jones plans to put in place. It's about the team performance as a whole and the players that have the attributes to achieve collectively.
    We hope.

    Possible that this was lined up and on hold while we saw whether Dobbo would come back or not and when apparent that he was not we signed Docherty
    Nice of Greg to hang around for us ……
    Dobson is a year younger and has not played at such a high level, a neutral would take Greg over George one hundred times out of a hundred.

    As we are not neutrals:
    Let's hope that Greg Doherty can play 90+ minutes every week and is available for selection every match and can also be a contender for POTY. Also that he will be in a far superior Charlton side to George.

    This does look like another good signing and I hope Greg can not only emulate George but surpass him. 
    I wish Doherty a successful time at CAFC and many like me will thank Dobson but have to accept the status quo.

    I think the squad is now starting to look as if it can challenge, another centre back, although I'm am not writing off Jones, Gillesphey or Edmonds-Green, but someone who dominates in the back four plus another goal keeper and I'll be happy. On the question of Conor Coventry, I expect him to push on with the players around him and I don't think he was suited to the role alongside Dobson, this on the face of it looks better balanced. If Nathan Jones can stop us conceding daft goals then this squad can really take off, it is looking like it has potential.

    Is it real?
    I've not actually physically seen the fella yet, let alone in a retro shirt.
    Weird 🧐

    It’s still light in midfield , jury out on goalkeeping and goal scoring

    I’m not precious about being “lolled” but I don’t see how that’s contestable .

    Funnily enough Jones wants another GK plus a few more outfield signings.

    He’s about as good as we could have hoped to get for a League 1 side.  Hardly any negative comments from his former club.
    really strong spine there now

    More experienced than Leonard who is a good player but experience is really important and we now have a lot more in the midddle

    I'm already practising!
    "Boo, get off!"

    Are you positive enough to have a bet on us getting promoted this year mate ? I’m in a hole after going pretty big the last 2 years after believing the bollox spouted by TS 😂 so I need to go bigger this year to recoup 😜
