    Signing an experienced left sided player is like "pulling hens teeth", they are rare compared with other players.  Clubs don't want to release a good one because they are difficult to replace .
    Yet we weren’t prepared to pay the going Championship rate for Thierry Small.

    Makes sense, has played in Scotland before and must be fed up not even making the bench

    Please, no more League one un-tested players. Have we learnt nothing from the summer.  If we are going to recruit then we need experienced Championship players.

    What's that I hear....."its going to cost money".
    Well no shit sherlock. That's the price of promotion & owning an English football team. Did no-one tell the yanks that ?  Oh dear, Charlie salmon trousers really did pull the wool over their eyes.

    Maybe nothing in this one, but Charlie Goode has recently started following Charlton on X. He's a right-footed CB, currently having a good season at Stevenage. 
    I know his brother Johnny B....🤦‍♂️

    Apparently he’s mates with Chuks and Berry! 😉
  • Apter and tanto being off on loan would just show what an utter shambles our summer recruitment was. Two players we paid money for who we won’t play. Shambolic

    With apologies for the overt racism (although Sandi Toksvig does it on QI and it doesn't seem to count if it's American accents that are being mocked).

    *To be spoken in a New York gangster style*



    "Hey, Walt.  Waddya tink about dat UK soccer team dat we bought?"

    "It's great, Earl.  Best thing we ever done."

    "You tink?"

    "Yeah.  Sure the guys ain't doing so great ... but those girls.  Yowser!  Yowser!  Yowser!" 

    "You're right, Walt.  An' one outta two ain't bad.  Plus dos dames don't cost too much."

    "Hey.  I wish, Earl.  Did you never meet my wife?"

    *Outbreak of ironic laughter*

    Our midfield is too soft. Would rather sign some physicality in there than a playmaker. Don’t think Costello won a 50:50 all game today, that’s why he’s not been playing 
    We need to improve on the ball too, we need more than a better version of Anderson.
    One of those players can be Coventry in the short to medium term - we need someone who can compliment him, good with their positioning and can pick a pass up the field to relieve some pressure.
    That Dobson lad at Wrexham looks ok 
    Coventry is fine but he was never an upgrade on Dobson. 
    We had posters aligning our poor season in 23/24 with the likes of Dobson and May and basically saying that showed their limit that season as well.. ridiculous views. 

    We still haven't replaced Dobson. An absolute joke we didn't secure him on a long term contract. 

    If we weren't so pathetic in contract dealings, he could still be in the heart of our midfield now and we could have Thierry Small at left back. Two players more than adequate at this level who had fight and skill.

    I fkn hate football.

    Someone who works with the first team told me Small wanted to go to an established Championship club. He had pretty much made his mind up months before we went went up, and even if we did, he was still leaving.

    I am sure if we had offered him silly money he might have stayed but for that money you could have got proven Championship quality which Small is not

    It's the wrong Stevenage centre back!

    Personally, I have no issue with Tanto and Apter going out on loan. They both need minutes and its only fair.

    What concerns me is Jones record of signing attacking players so far is pretty poor. Godden has worked thats it. Gas man a flop and the jury is still out on Tanto and Kelman who between them cost about 5.5m. (too early to judge Dykes) 

    One of the Stoke fans’ biggest complaints about NJ was that he spent £7m on Sam Vokes who went on to score 8 in 78 for them.

    To be fair, he was playing at left wing back.

    Wow that is a lot for him. You could easily make this argument for midfielders. His defensive signings at large have been good, which you'd expect from a former defender
