Riis would be a good signing imo. A good championship player. As good as leaburn is, an injury to him would be very damaging given Godden’s injury record too. Would be surprised if we don’t bring a striker in as not sure Mbick is ready just yet 

When is Kelman back? Would be pretty unlucky if Leaburn, Kelman and Godden were all out at the same time but knowing Charlton it’s entirely possible!

Miles and Matty have had their recent injury woes that have kept them sidelined for months at a time. Matty is now also 35 and will be more susceptible to picking up injuries. I doubt he could be expected to play twice a week for months either. Kelman has I suppose a freak injury with his shoulder but once you’ve dislocated a shoulder it’s always slightly weaker. Grant is versatile but I don’t think he covers an injury to Leaburn for any length of time. I’d say we’re definitely short of a striker.

Still hoping for JRS 🤞

I think he said "Who pinned this?", and unpinned it right after.
Might of just been an accident or he's being a bit cheeky.

Only he could pin it though I thought? Think he was being cheeky tbf.

Think it was more of like "Oops, I accidentally pinned this" kind of response. Could mean anything though.

We had two CBs pull up at the same moment against Spurs. With Charlton anything is possible. Think the current system fits a big strong player like Leaburn rather than a kelman ir Godden too. So Riis fits the bill 

It’s precisely the system Kelman thrived in for Orient. We’d just need to play it long a bit less or use Grant as the target  

Grant isn’t a target and Kelman had creative players behind in Agyei, Donley, Galbraith, O’Neill etc. Grant Carey Alli and TC are attacking threats but they’re not players who’s going to play beautiful through balls for Kelman to latch on to or pinpoint low crosses, the only player in our entire squad capable of that is probably JRC just a shame he’s ridiculously slow and not got much of an engine 

I still think we need a CF.  Leaburn is injury prone and for as well as he has played recently, we need our CF to score some in this league and he hasn’t done that yet so there is some risk there. Our two primary backups are injured and both are probably better suited for being in a two person front line instead of as lone strikers. We are playing a 19 year old inexperienced forward as our primary backup.  While Riis might not be the perfect answer, an experienced starting forward for between 1-2 million is a bargain in the championship.  That being said I am not sure he is going to want to got to side where he isn’t a guaranteed starter.

And don't get me onto likes & heart emojis.

Alright me old china plate, get on the dog and bone to the ducks and geese and tell them this new lingo is taking the gypsy's kiss, because I ain't got a scooby.

I am pretty sure a professional footballer on a decent contract has others also working on their social media (maybe as well as themselves) so might not even be Campbell.
