    Fuming to be honest. Not been given a chance, did ok at RWB when we could play someone decent, like Edwards, at LWB. Can cross with either foot, got a wand of a left foot. When we are lacking options out wide this is a bizarre decision.
    This this this. If I could like this twice I would. We're crying out for someone with a spark and some creativity and one of the 2 players in the squad with it is being loaned out. If this ends up being 2 CBs and a conventional fullback in then it's an absolute disaster.

    You’re going to have to draw that for me. All I can picture is one of them struggling at wing back while the other one sits on the bench.

    Confirmed on https://www.charltonafc.com/news/rob-apter-joins-bolton-wanderers-loan

    Well it's not really 'crazy' as he hardly plays for us. He's moved to Bolton which is around 38 miles from Blackpool. Hope he gets to reconnect with the football, pitch friends and family.

    Gone according to Cawley. What an awful bit of management from the club all round. Nathan Jones has got a lot to answer for here, especially if, as he claims, all the signings were his choice.

    Or both of them playing either side of of a 433 / 4231 and tearing it up.

    Apter can come back into the side when we play in L1 next season.

    If, come the end of the season, we are still a championship side, then I have no problems with who is moved out, be that permanent or a loan.

    49ers injury report DE Nick Bosa is questionable to return to the game the team announces

    Circa 2m out on loan, are we getting better in?? Great bit of business there boys, sure the owners will be chuffed with that type of carry on. Bet the fella can wait to prove us wrong and then return.

    Absolutely crazy. With him back in the team it would be like a new signing. What the hell is going in. Rodwell said we look forward to seeing him in the summer. Fat chance.

    Have a sneaky suspicion that we won't see Apter play for us again. 

    Shame, he showed enough in his brief appearances to definitely be useful enough for the run in, but a victim of Jones' approach. 

    Awful decision imo.

    Well that's sucked the jam out of my doughnut! Feck me that is baffling... The kids hardly had a chance and he's sent to Bolton...I hope he does well as his confidence must be in the toilet.

    Real shame he wasn't given more of a chance and we'd rather be clogging it forward to Dykes than playing anyone with an ounce of creativity.

    Linda Apter doesn’t agree with the move either 🤣 

    Linda Apter has started following Bolton Wanderers on X.

    Jones’s destroying the squad he built only 5 months ago. Desperation.

    He’s going to be replaced by Bree isn’t he?

    Let's hope Bolton and us don't pass one another on the promotion/relegation snakes n ladders

    Weird. Even the statement from Rodwell is terrible, describing him just as freeing up space in the squad so we can strengthen and calling him an asset but in a way that makes it sound like his entire value is in pound notes. Don't like that at all. If you're looking for positives though he clearly wants to be playing and isn't happy at the moment. Bolton gives him a chance to play every week and it's very notable that the only clubs who seemed to be interested in him were in L1. I'm hopeful that he can come back in the summer, have a preseason where he works on his positioning and gets back into the team but I suspect that if rumours of a fallout with Jones after he got rightly dropped for Bree are correct then I doubt there's a way back. 
    Feels like a bit of a 6 of one situation; Apter stopped tracking back towards the end of his time in the first team and then got completely eclipsed for goals and assists by Bree within 3 games so he can't even point at his attacking output to cover for it. In that time the story is that he got upset about playing and I think that meant when Bree was hurt and his form dipped there wasn't a way back in for Apter with Jones. It's unfortunate, maybe if he'd kept his head down he could have fought his way back in but it sounds like he didn't fancy that. I've never been a fan of freezing players out though, even when Curbs was doing it I hated it. 
    There's some daft reactions on here though, the bloke that cost us points against QPR, wasted a huge number of our opportunities against Millwall, did nothing against Hull and then was so bad against Southampton he had to be hauled off after 24 minutes is being talked about like he was the key to saving our season. I also would have liked to see him given a chance to offer width and show what he's about in the remaining games but there aren't many bigger examples of players getting better the longer they're out of the team than Apter. The important thing is now that we replace him with someone who can attack as well as defend.
