I’m not so sure Godden will be pushed out the XI so easily (when fit).

There’s definitely an argument that Godden and Kelman is our best partnership from the options we have

I think we will start the season with Kelman Leaburn and Olafe upfront. I don’t think TC has shown enough to be a starter in the championship

I can’t see us starting with all 3 - that leaves us with only 2 CMs, or means a back 4. NJ rarely picks teams as open as that.

This strengthening is also about having a stronger bench, I can’t see us finding a way to fit every new signing into the starting 11.

Agree, 9 Subs remember. I think we have to see it as a 20 man match day group, with lots of scope to change things as and when the situation demands. We certainly won't be starting games with 3 strikers, although we may be ending with them if we are chasing the game..

Or as Nathan Jones has called them……
Game Changers.

Addicks never really had an American make a good impression. Granted not been that many (Spector, etc) but as an American myself, I really do hope Kelman can do well here and I think under NJ, he will.

Charlie Kelman is a player I’ve always kept an eye on since he made his debut for Southend. I’m sure he scored a worldie from the half way line at 16/17 for Southend?? Either way, he’s always caused us problems whenever we’ve come up against him and I’m buzzing he’s now going to be playing for us.

May last season be the start of a prolific career. Before Orient his goalscoring record was not great.

apparently the 13 QPR games totalled about 390 mins so equivalent of 4 games he failed to score in. Not too much to be read into, I would say

What about his appearances for the other clubs?

Not sure but could be a combination of the same thing (less minutes than the appearances might suggest) and just being young/ undeveloped. recent evidence hopefully of most relevance, and here’s hoping he’s come/coming of age

I wondered why he could play for the USA.
Born in Basildon and played teenage football for FC Dallas before returning to Essex to play for Southend at 17.

A lot of people saying Kelman didn’t play well in playoff final…he ran his arse off and gave us a few problems….a Jones type player

I Swear he was the one who hit the cracker and mannion pushed onto the crossbar ?!

Yes that was him…played up front on his own basically….a really good signing….wonder if he is eligible to play for the USA men’s team

His shot took a big deflection didn't it?

Can't wait to see how many 'survivors' from the promotion team are selected for the first few league games .. I reckon the answer will be not too many .. pity if so, BUT there you go, progress is inevitable

I think the Mods need to get involved here, a blatant and shoddy attempt at boosting someone's LIKE and LOL count here - Cheating the system is what I'd call it, would never catch me doing such a thing

We’ve got to be objective and ruthless (didn’t NJ say something along those lines on the pitch after the match at Wembley). If we played the promotion team for 46 matches in the Championship we’d finish rock bottom, so there needs to be large scale changes to the starting XI.

Reminds me a bit in terms of stature and style of our last "Charlie". Hope he scores a few more goals than Mr McDonald.

Why is it a pity, we never blitzed league one, we went up via the playoffs. The same team would be relegated by Christmas if we had stuck by them

I for one am pleased that Jones and the owners have recognized this and are acting accordingly
