RD holding the purse strings VERY tightly at present.
I am all for not going crazy with the spending like some clubs currently do but RD also needs to be realistic about what is needed assuming the goal is success on the pitch, makes you wonder, especially when i am assuming he is adding that five million pounds a season losses onto the clubs debt for whenever he does sell up, as i doubt he is just writing that off and it is not being paid for my player sales, as not a chance that the Gomez fee raised enough up front to cover that and our new summer signings.
We've lined up several deals, several of which will ultimately be described as deadline day deals that we just couldn't quite get over the line in time
Lots of mays, might and see what happens in there...plus the last line gives it all away, "that way we will balance the books and hopefully enjoy success". Clear indication of priorities there.

Why do you need a real view of the game or you happy with some of the rubbish that's been written ??
I'd value you considered opinion on the contribution of Johnny Jackson.
You normally so quick to express your views on here about him.
I wonder what is different about this time?
He scored a good header, but he was unmarked on the 6 yard box so would expect any player with that chance to hit the target ... Like Cousins goal , More to do with Fulham schoolboy defending who made the basic error when a sub is made at a corner ... To be honest he done very little else in the 10 mins on the pitch and to read lot of rubbish you would think we signed Messi .... The big diff yesterday was taking Fox off and having Bergdich and Moussa on the left side we looked a far better balanced team and unlike Fox hardly wasted a ball .
you need a comma, as currently your rant reads that Fox hardly wasted a ball.

And breathe.
If you ever needed proof that Colin just refuses to see anything that contradicts his long held prejudices and blinkered view of players and coaches this is it.
But he does make me laugh.

Colin I would say that I have in no uncertain terms also been one of those to question JJ on a regular basis, but after y'day there isn't an argument any of us can hide behind. Since Hull we've been very, very poor. I completely get that his first touch bringing a goal got the crowd pumped, and momentum shifted massively toward us after that, but come on, you can't seriously not hold your hands up here and give credit where it is due.
I'm not suddenly going to change my thoughts and say JJ is our saviour, but he was there when it mattered, something even our stand out players like JBG and Watt haven't shown over recent weeks. Regardless of Fulham's defending, that was a great run and great header. He took the initiative, unified the team and lifted the whole stadium when he came on.
I can categorically say that this goal probably deserves more kudos than the deflected winner against Norwich last season. That I felt didn't warrant the superlatives thrown at JJ as it was quite a fortunate goal in a game that we quite easily could've lost under Peeter's negative tactics. This time he deserves all the credit he gets. Having sat on the bench, biding his time, not kicking up a fuss. He really did deliver y'day, I can't see any other way but just to say 'well done' credit where it is due'.

bergdich was toilet for the first 5-10 mins he was on, we almost conceded because he was nowhere to be found in the oppo's half and they were breaking leaving our left side wide open.
I will ask a question if it had been Berkdich or Ba who scored would we be reading the same ????
I said he done well to make the run but if that a been a Fulham goal would we be saying well done to that player or slagging of our defence for a poor goal
Let's get it into perpective ....
but they didn't.
If anyone would've scored we would be reading similar you muppet, it's called football, the most amount of goals win.
I'm sorry @colin1961, whilst I agree that JJ may not have the legs he once had, yesterday within 14 seconds he managed, by reading the game, to attack the ball in the area (after making sure the corner wasn't taken till he got in position) and then score with a powerful header, giving all of us hope. I had not seen any evidence of that in the previous 80 minutes with our corners or set pieces, or general play to be honest. To have a player who clearly shows he wants to win and has the respect of the squad makes JJ invaluable. I would start him so we get in the right frame of mind from the off and then sub him after 50 or 60 minutes. Bringing him on at the death of a game may see us having to much to do, when his 'tenacity' and 'drive' used from ko may well see us in the lead...who knows.....but it is wrong to say he got lucky.

No, Colin's right. We should view all our goals through the lens of how we'd feel if we were the opposition fans. As of next week all goals by Charlton players should be met with boos, shouts of 'wanker' and questioning where the defence was. This is perspective.

moussa looked decent though.

Delusional.
It would be hailed by you as proof that Luzon is the new Jimmy Seed and that Jackson needs to go blah blah blah blah.
But they didn't score.
The player you have constantly labelled as useless, past it and who shouldn't never play for Charlton again did.
