I wonder why Elliott Ward wasn't signed for this position. Looked capable and assured in pre-season friendlies, and is vastly more experienced than Bielik. Down to money, perhaps?

Or is he going to be signed if Bauer leaves? I understand that he is still training with us.

Age? Desire?
Ward is 34 soon and is probably just passing the time until he retires. Bielik (you'd hope) is a young, hungry player with something to prove.
15 senior appearances, hardly an experienced head.
Probably seen as a lot better than someone like Ward on a free.
I’d prefer experience but then Song and Coquelin didn’t have much either. If he’s tall, quick, strong and good on the ball like they say he should be very good at this level.
"Can he play Steve, can he play ?" ??? Doesn't Bowyer watch the players before they sign ?
Probably because he's given that responsibility to Steve Gallen?
I was always taught that a good leader knows when to delegate responsibility. Let LB concentrate on what's going on at the training ground, and SG do the scouting.
It's his job, after all...
Obviously he delegates, that's why he has a team under him. Nobody is expecting LB to be responsible for everything but you would think he would still like to see the player in person to make a final decision.
From the two videos his football instincts seem pretty sound. Tall enough, right footed in the main, but will use his left occasionally, seems to prefer the forward through ball more than the deep cross or the lump forward, seems to anticipate well which makes him look unhurried, will be involved at set pieces, we see him initiate a lot of moves due to occupying a 'quieter' area of the pitch, can tackle when needed, prone to the odd error too, but after each of his 'plays' I noticed his eagerness to get immediately on with the 'next thing', looks like somebody who can concentrate well. My first impression is that if he were my team mate, I would have confidence in him. I can see him playing on the right side of a back three, right side central defender, I don't know if he could be a covering deep midfielder, at least not from those clips. If used on the right it might mean some pressure on Djiksteel and Solly, but I suppose it will be about formations, and plans a,b and c. It might be a signing to clear the way for Bauer to leave, either now or in January, but he would need to stay fit for the season. I would like Bauer to stay obviously. So far so promising, but the pudding hasn't been tasted yet.
welcome KB, let's hope your association with Charlton is fruitful for all concerned. You'll get plenty of game time cos with your arrival we'll have one fit competent CH (you), one enormous, wildly erratic CH (NS), the big friendly German will now be despatched to the next bidder bearing used notes, JP is crocked for at least 3 weeks, we've got one right back with a knackered knee, one shakey left back made of balsa wood and a bunch of kids younger than you. Please, by all the saints and everything you find precious, please, try to avoid injury, until January at least. cześć i witaj

I hope you can emulate your fellow countrymen, Pawel Abbott and Polish Pete.
If you've had a chat with JDS, you'll be aware of the problems at our club.
But you'll also know how passionate our fans are and what a decent, committed coaching team we have.
Things can only get better at The Valley & you can play your part in our journey.
Welcome, young man.

Regardless Welcome to the club
I wonder if Jackson asked his old mate Michael Morrison about him as I assume they were at Birmingham together.
