Very good move for Umerah. I rate him above Hanlan from the very little I've seen of them both. Here's hoping he comes back ready to compete for a first team place.
Here's hoping he comes back ready to compete for a first team place.
Going by the fan reaction to Wycombe's tweet they're unimpressed - Apparently they've plenty of Strikers who can put the ball in the net and need a 'keeper / Defender, hope this doesnt mean he'll struggle like Karlan did @ Cambridge
not a rumour but Umurah has joined Wycombe on loan
Good move... Explains why he isnt in the Squad for us tonight!!
Really hope we're bringing someone else in now though, I know that Umerah isnt the most experienced but if we really do get into trouble with injuries we dont really have anyone other past Hackett-Fairchild now what with Hanlan injured already

Karlan can't put the ball in the net so it'll be a different struggle.

Maybe they'll take Philips.
Glad we never see Charlton fans moaning about signings or saying "but we need (insert other position)"
Josh will have to score 20+ goals if we are to get automatic promotion.
With the sheer number of chances being created this season, compared to the dearth of decent opportunities created last season - he might well get around the 20 mark. It's a numbers game: create plenty of chances and a reasonable number will get converted.
Perhaps it should also be borne in mind: nearly every 20 + goalscorer takes penalties for his team, which adds to his tally from other set pieces and open play.
Josh doesn't take penalties.
Who will be our penalty taker with Jackson no longer a regular?

Forster-Caskey took one last season yet missed (Cant remember who but wasnt it last min when we was already winning?) - Could see Holmes taking some too

Chesterfield away.
Holmes and Novak missed some too as did Jackson.
Would give it to Kashi or Reeco myself but I think Holmes would be first choice when he's on the pitch
can somebody explain what meh means cause I'm a bit old you see.
expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm
So why meh
Its shorter and quicker to write "meh" instead of saying... "Am sorry I have a lack of interest or enthusiasm in your post"
Prick
Certainly not the first nor last to ever call me that
Meh would've been a better response surely
Whats strange is I was asked why Meh is used and other than offering the explanation of "well its shorter and quicker to write" I dont know how that can be viewed as a prick reply.

No, why does he need to!
Bolton's top league scorers last season were four different players with 9 goals each. That includes one of their centre half's.
Spread the goals around and keep it tight at the back.
Going over old ground but we will need 70 goals to be in the playoffs. Josh scores 20 ???? We still need 50 goals spread around the team. Anything less than 20 be it through injury or otherwise and I think promotion is a non starter.
Just to point out that there are only 2 teams in the division who have so far scored more goals than Charlton. And one of those teams has only scored 1 more than us.
Our 7 goals scored in 4 matches = 1.75 goals per match. Which equates to a projected total of around 80 goals for the season.
Mind you, using this formula on their scoring record this season, Magennis, JFC and even Baur will be expected to score 23 goals each! Remember, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics".
