    Wrexham spending £2m each on Moore and Coady shows we're in a different division now but also the different approaches.

    Two proven players but both 32 whereas we have gone for much younger attacking players yet to prove themselves at this level.
    We're buying potential.

    I'm sure we can think of a house analogy to back up this?  😏

    Conor Coady is a real charisma machine. I do wonder how much of their scouting also involves picking up proper characters for their Disney show as well. I've never seen it but I imagine a squad of Dobsons wouldn't quite catch the imagination
    Wonder how much Dobbo will play this year 
  • I'm firmly in the camp that this transfer window has given us a solid chance of survival — and honestly, I think it's a bit mad for anyone to be looking much further than that right now.
    Think our business before Knibbs kept us up this signing will turn us into a top 12 team 
  • Bet Godden is lovin' the way some on here are trying to pension him off, he'll still do for me...
    Godden will still be first choice when fit

    Back in league one on loan in January …
  • Same, defo keep the league one starting 11 for now except apter for small and if godden injured, kelman

    I actually think, despite their triple back to back to back promotions that Wrexham have even more work to do in the transfer window than us. They have been on a crest of an incredible wave but have a mix or L1 and L2 players for the most part and need a significant upgrade in a lot of departments. Probably need 10-12 players. NTT20 predicted Wrexham just one place above us in 18th. I think it will be the other way around unless they break the bank for 10-12 premiership level players over the coming 4-6 weeks. 
  • Why would they need 10-12 premiership level players to be one place above us that's a bit of a stretch lol.

  • What a different pre season this has been. Can't remember the last time we were so active and in for a decent level of player. Really looking forward to next Saturday. Might take a little while for the team to gel and settle but I think we are in for a good season.

    My prediction is that Parky will leave him our for the first 6 games or so, which dont produce much in the way of points, the Disney production people start to get twitchy, Parky re-instates him, after which he plays at least 30 games in all comps.

    I heard he was crying into a tub of Ben & Jerry's last night while scrolling through this thread  :'(

    We were a solid 2 up 2 down well built with all the doors in the right places. Renovations had sorted out the leaky roof and woodworm ignored by the previous owners. We're now going through the planning and building stages, and the builders have been asked to build a double and single story extensions to the East and West. They've completed most of this this using traditional methods but with modern materials. 
    The planners can see our vision and have allowed us to continue with a few adjustments.
    The solid 2 up 2 down is now becoming an impressive family home, but with space to become a mansion when it is needed.

    I’m not sure he’s bothered about Charlton life 
    Well, the feeling seems to be reciprocated by some on here...🤦‍♂️

    Wrong, Godden is an avid Charlton Life reader.

    MG absolutely furious at some time of the garbage (his words) he is reading on here.

    Talking about "hacking the mainframe" so he can track down certain posters via their IP address.


    Reading between the lines. I think you're saying that @Goddenole is actually Matty Godden 🕵️‍♂️

    That's a great strategy. 


    If you want to lose.

    Respectfully mate, I don't think that's the case at all.

    Their squad is at minimum high end League 1, as proven runners up and an impressive season, they have also added proven Championship proven players in Coady, Hardie, Windass, O'Brien. I might be forgetting others.

    I would argue their squad is more Championship proven/ready than ours is currently. Our summer business has been very good, but all of the standouts in Kelman, Knibbs, Apter & Tanto fees wise, are unproven talents in the Championship. Until a ball is kicked our squad is very much high end League 1 as it stands. Although I do believe most of these players will step up.

    I think you're underestimating Wrexham slightly there, I will be very pleasantly surprised if we finish above them, as I don't see them going down. They won't need 10 premier league players to keep their head above water, they'd probably be fighting for automatics if they did that..
    The problem with buying experience is high wages, injuries take longer to heal, players are difficult to move on.
    Harry managed to bankrupt a few clubs with this policy. 
    Not a risk I would like for our club.

    Why? We are a winning team with form, momentum and spirit. 

    Let other teams, like watfords 9 new signings, make wholeale changes and not have any of that. 


  • Look at the Wrexham squad though who would we actually take in our starting XI Broadhead, O’Brien Windass, Cacase, Coady those are only the guaranteed starters in our team. Bear in mind 2 of those aren’t going to be getting any better as well. With the trajectories of both teams I can see us finishing above Wrexham

    When we won promotion last season to me at least we needed to sign at least 7 or 8 players to be competitive in the championship. 
    So I'm more than happy that we have signed 9.
    At least 5 of those appear to be better than we had so I'm confident we will do OK this coming season. 
    But if we start the campaign with 9 of last Seasons players in the starting 11 I believe we will lose.
    Just my opinion.

    Fair point and most will prob agree and want to see the new players - i just think let them come in naturally based on form and lessons learnt, which will keep the existing team motivated, even if it means a slow start to the season. Its gonna be a lonnnng season!

    We can't start the season with all 9 newcomers as some are not fit, and Knibbs is not match fit
