@KBslittlesis I’m sure knowing you personally it wasn’t intended to, but your post imo crossed the acceptable line responding to @golfaddick
You might not wish to apologise, that’s your right, but it’s been removed. Similarly has @Rothko one which equally was unnecessary.
Ill post something separate to this thread tomorrow on general forum usage but I urge everyone (like I did just two days ago) to post more about football and much less about fellow posters. For the rest of this evening we will delete any posts that are simply digs at other posters or just unecessary.
Thank you.
Ps. I’m far apart from Golfie on most things but the basis of your comment insinuating he was comparing TS to RD was unfair. He very clearly said ‘at the moment, IN TERMS OF TEAM BUILDING’. That is very different to aligning all the shit things attached with RD.
As someone else said, I really think we all need a big virtual hug. Hopefully after an England win.
There seems to me to be 'very little to absolutely no patience' being shown by many people on this thread! Just because the club aren't saying anything or rolling out new signings every other day, doesn't mean they are doing nothing!! This, as I've said before, is a new regime, we are owned by a very successful businessman, in his own right, and hence he will be doing things his way. Do people honestly think the club don't know we need quite a few good quality players? FFS everyone, especially you @golfaddick just chill out and see what happens! Continually moaning and complaining isn't going to change how the club are working, they are doing things their way. If at the start of the season we are short of quality players then complain away, but for now just sit back, watch tonight's game, hope England win and chill out. Getting wound up with each other over something none of us control is completely fucking pointless!!!
I think @golfaddick is getting a raw deal he might be a complete pessimist but he is a proper fan, he loves our club and just wants the best for them. He can't help his outlook and he has every right to share his views as any of us. Nothing is false or contrived with him it is what he thinks and whilst I don't share his views I welcome that he shares them. If you don't agree with him ignore him.
My wife and daughters say I am far too cheerful, so maybe I need to be more Golfie.

I don't always agree with @g@golfaddick , but I love reading his contributions .
I love how people on here deride the folk of Twitter as being below CL and then you come on here any see the ridiculousness of arguments and the absolute guff spoken…
what a hypocritical bunch some of us are 🤣🤣🤣
So true.
Just as some on twitter and other forums moan about Charlton Life as if it's one person or one set view on everything or even one thing. Reality is that it is 30k members with a huge range of views, tastes, politics and haircuts
There's good and bad on twitter, Facebook and CL.
And there's plenty of people who post on all three.
One person saying something on CL or twitter doesn't mean everyone on that format shares that view.
Wigan are at present close to having a decent starting 11, they don't have anything that looks like a competitive squad
At least they have a starting 11...........
Maybe not THE starting, but A starting 11 that could do a job at least til the window closes (I wouldn't be happy about this either mind).

To me that feels like a team that finishes 8th-12th. I see nothing at the front in that lineup that makes up for the loss of Aneke.
It's not even a team to start the season, @Napa and it won't be the team that finishes the season either.
You can be sure that there'll be a number of new players incoming, both contracted and loanees. We'll have a full squad by the end of the transfer window, you bet.
And there'll be more tweaking of the squad in January.
I’m a pretty unimportant poster on here. Sometimes I’m more involved than other times. What I’ll say though is that it’s your choice what you read - the posters you read posts by and the threads you open.
Anyone who seriously irritates you with their negativity (!) or even positivity, remember their name and ignore their stuff!
Latest from Cawley nothing sounds close or as people have said he poss isnt being updated much
His last comment sums it up, its as if people think they are more clued up than those running the club.
I think that's an important point.
It's frustrating for us that there hasn't been more movement but it'll be even more frustrating for the recruitment team, TS and Adkins as not only do they have to actually work on these deals but if they don't get it right it makes their job for the coming season harder too.
People would do well to remember that they're as desperate for success as we are.
It is a good point and Cawley has said deals are being worked on. I do understand Golfie's point too. He isn't attacking Thomas, but waiting to see what happens to the recruitment before he is happy with it and he feels we should be further down the track than we are given what we were told.
My view is, I am expecting good recruitment and I appreciate it might be difficult and delayed due to a variety of reasons, but I will judge it when I see it in its totality.
I am with you Muttley. I DO appreciate getting recruitment right and securing the right players in a competitive market is not easy. As supporters we owe a lot to TS and it's a real shame for him that the economic impacts of COVID have reduced club turnover when he wants to invest in the playing side of the club. So I will be patient and hope they can assemble a strong enough squad to have a good stab at promotion this season.
In saying that I don't see why a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon to give Golfie such a hard time. He simply adopts the policy of saying "Show me" and that actions speak louder than words. I don't think that makes him the devil incarnate does it?
Cause he's a fucking tiresome bore, and even when shown, he'll whine on like a stroppy toddler that it's not enough of someone else money being spent, or the wrong player etc etc

This is better than the team we started at Crewe with last year tbh, but we don't have shite owner, a transfer embargo and wage cap now so no excuses really !

Pretty middle of the road side , not overly concerned yet as I expect the usual 5 loans and 2-3 permanent signings. Would like to think JP won't be starting against Sheffield Wednesday .
I’d expect Gunter, Pearce, Purrington, Morgan and one of DJ or Washington to come out of that team once signings come in. Not impossible for Gilbey to come out either.
Don’t know what’s been said and totally ignoring Afka Golfie is even more pessimistic/realistic than me and he says it how he sees it and unfortunately as we approach our 8th poxy season in this shithouse division in the last 13 , he’s been more right in recent times than the everything is wonderful in Charlton land rose tinted posse #teammiserabletwunts

That is because this is the starting XI. Obviously Aneke’s replacement will be on the bench!

Could easily be another CB no one has mentioned yet. Cawley doesn’t expect us to get Tucker.
EFL have released a list of clubs under sanction (which in itself is incredible) and the Biscuitmen are one.
Perhaps that explains the delay.
