    How about looking at it like this ? Nobody thinks we are ready for a full season but pretending we've lost 16 players is stupid... no matter how many people agree with you. 
    Over a 46 game season, you need 11 starters for each match. That's 506 appearances to be split among the squad.

    Last season, a core group of 20 players (that started 10 or more games) accounted for 454 of those 506 appearances. The rest were cameo appearances from the youth (Barker), players that were moved on early in the season (Bonne) or loanees that didn't pan out (Levitt/Smith). Don't forget that included in that 20 are players like Millar and Stockley who joined on loan in January.

    As it stands, our squad has 15/16 senior players that you could consider might be part of the core group (make 10+ starts this season). To reach the same number as last season (20) we would need 4 or 5 new players from where we are at currently.

    Saying we've lost 16 and signed 5 is mad.
    But that's not what I said is it, other than the bit where I've agreed we are short and in my following post said that we need 4/5 players.

    Unless this was aimed at someone else I dont understand how you've read what I posted and come to that conclusion.

    Maybe it's semantics, but I don't include players that resigned as players we've lost... because they never left.

    A good analysis which backs up what we all agree on that we need around 5 players.

    "Market is fucked, clubs offering pennies in the pound.  Clubs won't know exactly where they are short until they sort their loans.  If no one blinks clubs will go out of business and others will be fielding teams of kids. There will be a record number of unemployed players". 
    Nothing has changed, yet. 
    Both fans and the club are assuming it will, but what if it doesn’t? When you sat clubs will go out of business do we know how many clubs are at risk and which clubs they are?

    Been out all day how’s it going, we signed Kane and Messi yet 😉.

    Nearly right Red.
    We are looking at Herbie Kane and we are in a right old Messi trying to get players to sign for us in League 1 while Championship clubs have more clout and kudos for Agents and the players concerned.

    Wasn’t disagreeing with you, just adding my thoughts to the end of the chain. @shine166

  • Still wouldn’t be halfway to Ipswich’s incomings..!
    But we did not rehearse 20 plus players so we don’t need anywhere near as many as they do to make a squad .. 
    No....we released 16.
    I think you mean rehearse.

    DOH..OK, what am I like..!!, so obvious, thing is Oxblood or Black!!
  • I’m not too worried that we’re currently around five players short. I think we’ll sign a couple and pick up three or four loans, and these will be sorted pretty late on, which I think is when the better loans become available. 
    The sun is shining, the birds are singing, signings are great, loans are great. Etc.

  • Don't know if this is recent or not, but Charlie Kirk's other half follows Charlton Twitter.
    She’s also liked a lot of Charlton fans’ tweets that are asking to respect their privacy and stating how weird the DM’s are.
    Some sad individuals out there if they are sending her DM’s. 
    More than sad mate, disgusting for starters.

    AFC Wimbledon tonight- MK Dons next tuesday.

    Although easy to get them mixed up as supposedly they are one of the same.

    I noticed he didn't play for Barnsley Saturday. He would be a good option if available.

    He had his medical on Friday. 

    Then vanished into the black hole that swallowed up all the other players that had medicals or agreed to join us, then vanished ;)

    Only came in brown I thought.
  • Had a pair of DM shoes with steel caps in my teens. Never really hit the spot of a pair of boots. I had a mate drive over them for fun to show how tough they were. He parked on the shoe and I had to take my foot out as he left it there. Foot was fine but looked a bit silly going into a pub with one shoe on. 
  • Pompey and Wednesday add another player each to their squads.
