Getting the same strikers as last season that came 5th in the goals scored table doesn't exactly excite me as much as it does everyone else.
Add into this that our best striker is likely leaving (Aneke). Also haven't yet seen Stockley keep up his form over an entire season.5 -
I think that if there is any "blame" for not getting into a playoff spot, then look no further than the defense and the injury farce we endured with the position of CH being filled by whoever was available to play almost.. Aneke, Washington, and Stockley all chipped in with a reasonable goal tally, but we had to score 2 or 3 each match just to stand a chance.Bedsaddick said:

2 of them didn't sign until January! If we'd had Stockley up front all season we'd surely have picked up more points.Bedsaddick said:

Under the same manager that nearly got us a play off place after looking out of our hands.Bedsaddick said:

Be a great bit of business to get Stockley over the line. Great return of goals in the short time he was here. I think he and Washington would be a decent front two to lead the attack2

Maybe that was what Pompey offered and we offered more.CAFCsayer said:
He is worth more than that, I'd be very surprised if that is the case. He isn't going to be on 2k a week with Championship Preston. Reckon if you double that you'd be closerJ BLOCK said:Pompey offer was 2k a week, so we will be matching / bettering it
He could stay on a higher wage at Preston and not play or take a pay cut but have a longer contract at Charlton, a club he knows, with a manager who likes him.
Plus he's not having to live in Preston.3 -
It was more to do with what ever happened in the 4 months before March. Of course the center backs were an issue but there were more, deeper ones as well. To be fair Bowyer looked to have sorted some of them out before he left.up_the_valley said:

I would love to know what they were.
Stockley, Aneke and Washington would get in every squad, if not team, at this level I would be chuffed if we had all 3 of them.1 -

Interesting that young Jonty prefers to go with the more abstract NUISAORIIO rather than show loyalty to the tried and tested WIOTOS.cfgs said:

Yeah I’m with beds on this, we looked toothless at times with those exact players.Laddick01 said:Keep Aneke, Washington, Schwartz, Stockley and a good youngster on loan and we have a very good attack.2 -
I think it was more of a creativity issue.BR7_addick said:

Being supplied by a midfield of Watson/ Pratley / JFC / Gilbey. We even played a 19 year old LB at RW to bring some pace and energy to our team.BR7_addick said:

Put players with pace and creativity behind those and I think our forward line does a lot better.19 -
Given Adkins plays with wingers and we have one (plus Washington) I’ll be surprised if only one comes in. I expect two, maybe even three.Henry Irving said:DJ is one winger, expect to see another come in, possibly late on as a loan4 -
Think 2k a week would be a bit of an insult... he will be on over 5 imoHenry Irving said:

Definitely AT LEAST one more winger to come at some stage. Are there any particularly promising young wingers who might step up? Otherwise we'll need cover as well.Scoham said:

Pompey Twitter seem to think we’ve offered Stockley £6.5k a week and a big signing on fee - almost certainly nonsense but worth mentioning.0
-
That's a similar number to what we paid Lyle Taylor, I doubt it's far from the truth. It is the sort of number you would be talking about for a "star striker" at a big league 1 club pre Covid.ElliotCAFC said:Pompey Twitter seem to think we’ve offered Stockley £6.5k a week and a big signing on fee - almost certainly nonsense but worth mentioning.2 -

What the hell does a "pre contract subject to wages" actually mean?ButtleJR said:
Its word soup. If you haven't agreed wages, you haven't agreed anything worth a toss have you?
Oh and Pompey Twitter said 2k a week an hour ago. It's all bollocks.21 -
To be fair £6.5k pw is going to disappear very quickly if he's living in BexleyElliotCAFC said:Pompey Twitter seem to think we’ve offered Stockley £6.5k a week and a big signing on fee - almost certainly nonsense but worth mentioning.2 -
I find that virtually impossible to believe.J BLOCK said:Pompey offer was 2k a week, so we will be matching / bettering it
I assume he is on £5K/£6K pw at Preston.3 -
Now this is very possible to believe.ButtleJR said:1 -
I would imagine he is on more than that, we were paying 4ish in the championship and a lot of people thought that was an insult.Covered End said:

He cost a fee, a relatively big one, I would guess nearer to 10. But I agree Pompey wouldn't seriously offer 2.0 -
Greedy, snake, no loyalty or honour in football these days.
Oh, what's that? He's signing for us?
Sensible career moved based purely on football and family reasons. Good to see loyalty isn't dead.
NB this is satire20 -
Some great face saving from Pompey online types on Stockley going on here1
-
Have heard it's all agreed now. Big wage apparently.21

I’m actually very much in Henners camp here. Jayden is obviously talking to both Charlton and Pompey. WIOTOS1
