Better wording from Bowyer when talking about Oshilaja
“But now he’s out and Deji has got the opportunity now and he is back fit. Hopefully Deji will do well – so that when Darren is back he can slot back into midfield."
If it’s a month at least to seeing just Inniss then unless something dramatically changes in our form we will be out of the promotion race by the time our defence has the capability of recording a clean sheet. At this point after Schwartz and Millar I would say a central defender is essential.

it's a month to seeing Famewo, Inniss longer still.

Even if Bowyer doesn't think Barker is ready, what about our U23s, surely there must be someone who can step up and play CB?
Mingi is very capable. Hopefully Oshilaja will step up and show up the folly of Bowyer’s team selections. I trust Jacko can talk some sense into him, failing that Sandgaard needs to interject.
Let me get this straight, you actually think that a chairman of a club should interject and tell the manager who he thinks should be playing.
Been about football long have you?
Interject does not have to mean picking the team. If us fans have a right to question Bowyer's selections, then I am damn sure the owner has.
Watched Charlton for 53 years since the age of 7. I know my football. Told people last year we were going down, but people could not see it. Said on here recently that with Famewo and Inniss we are promotion material, without it we are mid table. The results bear that out. Hopefully Schwartz is the answer, but promotion is built on a sound defence.
If you are happy with the team selections then in my opinion the question you ask should be turned round for you to answer. The selections defy belief and just making defences of being loyal to the manager who was loyal to us can only have a finite timespan.
How much does someone like George lapslie earn? 1k p/w max I'd imagine. Can we really bring in someone of more quality and the relevant experience for that amount of money?
I think it was said that we may lose some we don’t want to do, I’m guessing we’ll see a few depart. I have a feeling the likes of Purrington, Deji & maybe even Smyth may move on. Wheeling and dealing is here until we get out of this league.
All this use of Pratley at RCB and Oshilaja not being used coupled with talk of a new CB being priority, what's Charlie Barker done wrong? He started this season well and has disappeared!
I think we've all been omitting him from our squads! Bowyer included... But surely he should be in/around it!

Can't understand why he isn't even mentioned in Bows list of "4" CBs we have. He did a good job early in the season, surely he could've been used a couple times when we had 15 mins left to defend a lead and Pratley had played the last 7 successive games at CB?
Having looked at Lee's interview it sounds like he wants a Pratley type midfielder rather than a Centre Back in the window .
Because of the salary cap I think much depends on Doughty and where he goes . I suggested Lindsay as an option for a Stoke deal because we could potentially have forfeited part of the fee in exchange for Stoke paying his wages . Maybe even insert a clause that he could sign full time if we are promoted .
Fulham were interested previously . They have lots of fringe players who could do a job for us . Kevin McDonald springs to mind as someone who fits Bow's requirements and is out of contract in the summer . Given his previous service to the Cottagers could we do a deal which could involve Doughty V his contract being paid up ?
I think we either go over the cap & take the penalty or do something creative with Doughty's transfer as is mentioned above. Take less of a fee & take a player from the buying club on loan. Problem is that club might not have the type of player we want. No point taking another David Davis or Levitt just because.

“If we do bring in a young kid they will have no experience – it’s a gamble."
Yes and playing Watson and Pratley every single game is a gamble too, on producing the goods each game.
Bow's bloods youngsters only once there is a severe injury crisis in that position.

One thing i don't get though is how does the fake account have the same username as the real one?
Great scoop for CawIey.
