Genuinely think we're 7 or 8 players short, but we won't get that many in.
A Centre back, Attacking midfielder, winger & striker are a must.
Any more than that is a bonus
A good attacking left back is the one that should have been in the door a month ago, we need another 6/7 probably will end up with 4 or 5 and it won’t be enough, gutted really because if we bought right we really could have rode the wave of finishing last season on a high and with sandgaard at the valley. All a bit depressing.
I remember lots of people on here saying Eisa was rubbish and glad we didn’t sign him! Could be some egg on faces tonight. I think he’s just what we’re missing.
Whatever is going on something isn’t right in the camp. Have a gut feel Adkins will walk before long.
I said he was shit and stand by what I said
He scored from close in and put several shots miles over the top..

Yeah, out of the front 3 for me Eisa was by far the weakest link. Half way through that game I was thinking maybe Tommy D was onto something.
But I guess at the end of the day he was in the right place at the right time and scored the decisive goal.
I said on the other thread that MKD's front 3 were all realistic targets for us, and would have added some real quality and depth to the squad. And been ready for the start of the season, not September
Yes it's early days, but we're 8 points behind Pompey and Burton already
I cant see any hope of us competing near the top, in fact i'm so disillusioned I doubt if I can be arsed to go Saturday. I looked at the score at half time (on my phone last night at work), saw we were behind and knew that was it, couldn't even be bothered to check the score on R5 driving home. We're a boring, fragile, one dimensional team with no skill or excitement. Is it too early to ask for a refund on my season ticket?
I honestly think Clare and Dobson have potential we just need a few tweaks and quite a few more players. Yet again we have players out of position, our starting lefthand side was makeshift again. Bring in a leftback, another midfielder (preferably two), another wide player to challenge those there and a decent option up top, plus strengthen the bench. Then when they have gelled, probably November at this rate, we will start to look good.

I think you’re right. Both have potential. They’re nowhere near as bad as some are claiming.

I also have potential, but it ain't never gonna happen!
F*** sake, do we really need to start posting Driesen tweets again?!!!
Hate to say it but he’s bang on the money with that one.
Let’s give players a chance Dobson was mom v Sheff and done his job last night … Clare was our best player last night by a mile yet they get attacked why … this is Charlton they are now our players young players let’s get behind them and support them …..

Clare was vastly improved on his performance from Oxford but that is not not saying much. He was still a long way off being our best player (in a side that was overall dreadful)
We can all see we need 5+ Quality signings to come straight into the 1st team, but can they actually happen now. It's certainly not too late to make 5+ signings but where do we find the quality ones at such a late stage of the transfer window?
What about Stockley if your attacking anyone he missed two sitters now that would have changed the whole start to the season ?? But there no mention of him … ITS ONLY THREE GAMES .. look at Oxford last season in Nov after 14 games they were 10 points of play offs where did they finish ? Sheff Utd got 6 points out of first 15 yet still finished with over 100 points …

Scored last night and in the 3 games (and a bit part in the cup) he is doing better than most. What is being asked of him is near impossible. He has non of our players close enough to him, no runners going beyond him, the formation and line up never changes so the opposition have an easy job scouting us and stick at least 2 defenders on him. The service to him is really poor and most of the time when it does come in its far too slow and the box is more crowded that usual as he is the only target.
If Sandgaard ran around the pitch naked, bar his guitar playing the Telly Tubbies theme, I would have liked it if we had a decent squad. It was so innapropriate playing his song with the squad we have and it probably highlights his lack of knowledge in terms of football. Not sure why people at the club wouldn't have explained it to him though. This start surely can't be seen as a surprise or I would be really worried.
Quote above from one my favourite baseball films The Bull Durham sums it up. You can do things like guitar stuff when you're winning, but when you losing it looks cringe and awful sadly thats how it goes. Think the honeymoon period is over for TS now, just hope he learns from mistakes.
George Dobson is the kind of player we would of signed in the Parkinson era. No real pedigree. Bit of a journeyman even at his young age. Would only ever be a fringe player at any club looking to seriously get out of this league. It's worrying me that our management team appear to think he is good enough to lead us to the championship.
Roddy is now in charge of identifying players and Gallen does the negotiations. Gallen’s role has changed which is evident from the dross we’ve signed this summer.
Clare and Dobson haven't covered themselves in glory but I am not completely writing them off yet - it's possible with a really good creative/attacking midfielder ahead of them it will click and the midfield will be more than the sum of its parts.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if any possible new signing was instead of either not as well as - there's nothing about either of them that says they will be better than decent at best.
I don't think either of them have been done many favours by having full backs with a phobia of crossing the half way line as this leaves them with Albie as the only alternative to lumping it long and he's struggling for consistency right now.
Wonder if at any point before the window TS realises he’s not pumped enough into the squad and gives Gallen/Roddy another cash reserve to play with. Surely Adkins makes his feelings known after last night.

Stockley needs a strike partner
Washington won’t last the season
Innis won’t play every game
we need:
2 x Strikers
1 x DM
1 x M creative attacking
1 x LB
1 x CB
What happens if Stockley gets injured ? All we have is Josh
any football team needs at least 4 strikers
