    There must be something in the water in Bolton. Apter passes the height test with flying colours

    Pre season must be an interesting dynamic as you have a mix of players that have very different perspectives. There must be a few that know they are likely to be on the move, some who know they will be part of the matchday squad and then others who were sent out on loan last season. The last bracket have a real chance to show a great attitude for example if I was Apter I would be busting a gut to show NJ he was wrong however if he doesn’t show that desire it just proves NJ right I suppose

    Argh......that graphic 😱.

    There should not be an apostrophe before the day !!!!!  There is nothing missing between June and 24. And there really should be a "th" after the number 24. 

    June 24th 

    NOT

    June '24.

    He’s very visible in the longer video, just couldn’t be bothered to update! Seems to be on a separate training regime with Doc as they recover from injury

    Not looking likely at the moment but honestly about knows, could be no one, we could also announce 5 out the blue signings before Friday, all seemingly very tight lipped these days

    Ever since Charlie pink trousers got the push very few things get spread from inside the club.

    When is a smile not a smile?
    When it's a Nathan Jones smile, apparently

    To be fair the post with that picture was captioned “Sparrows Lane”

    Mannion has posted a picture of Tiernan Brooks so the only players missing are Coventry and Mbick. You'd imagine Coventry will be off to Slovenia, interesting to see if Mbick is or not. I seem to remember Aneke going a couple of years ago even though he was doing an individual regime

    given the size of our squad I suspect they'd like to move a few on pretty sharpish. How many players would realistically go on an overseas training camp.

    30+ is pretty top heavy

    We have 29 first team at present, Anderson Mitchell and Kanu may stay behind considering they have active interest and deals may be wrapped for them by then or continue negotiations . Ahadme won’t be coming. Then you assume Macca is on the way out with Koumieto incoming. Then you only have 25 which is much more manageable

    Probably be a 25 man squad for Slovenia with 3/4 keepers if they bring Hardy too.

    Unless a deal is about to be signed, surely every member of the squad will be out there, including unwanted players like Ahadme. 

    Every player in the squad needs to get fit, an unfit Ahadme will be even harder to loan out.

    Tricky with our squad size though. It’s as much about team bonding as it is fitness, do you want any new signings forming a bond with Ahadme only to then lose a strong connection when he gets flogged?

    I was more making the point that whilst we'd love 4/5 new signings already to be on the team bonding/training trip - we surely need to offload a few first (or just not take them)

    As said above, don't imagine we'd take more than 25 really

    Your annual reminder not to buy a £5 match pass for today's game but to get an £8 monthly pass, cancel it at some point and get access to every pre season game

    Cov been on international duty so given an extra week Mbick, not out on the grass yet, still in recovery from the injury last year, and won't be fit for a couple of months.

    Any one not able to get to the game or watch on Charlton TV tonight can get their Charlton fix on Sky Sports football at 6pm as they're showing the whole 98 playoff final.
    Please don't post any score updates as some might record it to watch later. 😉

    I've amended the first post so we've got all the confirmed fixtures in one place for easy reference. @Henry Irving are you sure about the Staplehurst Monarchs one, as I've not been able to find any details for that?  If any further games get added, can people at me in, and I'll update the post as appropriate.
