Don't think Knibbs will be straight involved if he's not had much of a preseason. Could be on the bench against Watford but would be surprised if he starts.
Apart from Ramsay, L Jones, Edwards and Coventry, we have now brought in replacements for the rest of last season's first team except RWB Kaminski Ramsay, Jones, Bell RWB Coventry Costello Edwards Knibbs Apter Kelman
That front three scored 45 goals and had 14 assists in the league last season between them.
Not even room for Burke, Olaofe or Carey in this lineup, let alone Gillesphey, Docherty, Berry, TC, Anderson, Godden or Leaburn
Apter will be RWB
I don’t know our new players at all , but I’d factor in this in as the long term vision :
Kaminski
Ramsay, Jones, Bell/ Gillesphey
JRC, Apter, Coventry , Knibbs, Edwards
Kelman , Olaofe.
looks good .
I said that as RWB is where Apter has played so far, and JRC has played CM, so expect that’s the aim but with those 2 the other way around.
Coventry the defensive of the midfield 3, Knibbs the attacking one.
What’s also exciting is we can make 5 attacking subs without significantly weakening the team.
In a team like ours, I’d rather have the more mobile one on the outside and the more creative one in the middle .
Probably waaaaaay too optimistic and would need quite a few outs to make it work , but could it still be 2-3 more to come? Wouldn't be surprised if it was Donkey,RWB (Fukuda please , Dexter doesn't sound up to it) and then Joe Bennett gets a year deal as depth?

No more donkeys 🫏 please, we’ve had so many over the years!

Vile thing to say mate!!
Autocorrect and Dyslexia has done me a good un here. Not going back and correcting it 😆

Welcome Knibbo as JJ would say. 16 players will be used every match by CAFC out of the named 20. Many of the forwards and midfielders will be subbed or come on from the bench. Some with the ever ready battery will go the Hundred odd minutes whereas the Jonny Williams 60 minutes battery lads will make way for the game changers or the players to hold on to what we have.
The days of having an 11 that start every game when fit is so last season for cafc so different in the championship; we have strengthen and now have depth in the squad with possibly just another RWB.

We have had years of useless managers and owner - not anymore. Whatever the reason this deal broke down, I trust the club and the manager.
All the noise from some of our fans is very odd - would they rather we spend £1.8m on a player who may have potential injury problems or some other problem? Let's support the club and stop the whinging. We don't need to know why the deal is off.
No doubt they will have other targets in mind.
Does this relate to social media, because I can’t see much whinging on here? Just disappointment.
Maybe it is social media, but why the disappointment?
I feel relief this deal did not go through because there will be a reason. Why do we need to be told the reason?
I am glad they changed their minds rather than do a poor signing.
Because we looked like we were going to sign a really good player and now we’re not. Pretty straightforward really.

I think we've signed too many players. No idea where they are all going to fit in. Knibbs & Costello ? Coventry & Doc ? What about Berry ?
Doing my head in 😉😆.
Never in doubt...
I think we are in for an exceptional experience this term (for a Charlton fan) and I can see The Valley virtually full for most home games.
A season to relish. We`ve waited long enough.
Chelsea are to make a complaint to the EFL about Charltons squad size.
What's not to like?
