Looks a very good XI to me. Second XI of:
Harness (emergency loan if needed) Gunter Lavelle Pearce Roddy Morgan Dobson CBT Gilbey Leko Washington
Plus Watson, Davison and Schwartz. I don't think we'll run away with the league but it looks reasonably strong. There is an obvious weakness but I doubt many League 1 sides can genuinely say they don't have a position or two that looks weak.
That’s it, I’m off for a snooze, window has truely slammed shut, I’m sure there’s more to follow, and some will be happy, and some will not be happy, and some are just … well never happy!

Me thinks we have quite a good squad
No way will Morgan play in front of Lee or Arter
No way will Lee be part of a midfield 2 in a 442! He's not a central midfielder, he's either a second (and slightly withdrawn) second striker in a 442 (4411), or he's the part of a 3 man midfield in a 433
Good window, good squad. congrats Recruitment team, NA and TS. Automatic promotion here we come. COYR
Why is this liked so much? Good window my arse
I think it is has now been a good window. It hadn't been when the season started. We are in the promotion race and anyone that thinks otherwise is simply unhappy for other reasons, nothing to do with Charlton. COYR & thanks to Thomas Sandgaard & the team.
CB, ST, LB concerns me. Other than that, all good.
The good thing about getting Leko (hopefully) is that Washington can go back to being a striker. With Stockley, Washington, Davison + Lee/Leko up there if required we should have enough up top

Add to that Davison , Elejwrere and Barker who in my mind are all getting close
It's not a perfect window, but we've definitely done worst in the past. Squad might be a little unbalanced but there's no question about it, we have some quality in there. I think with today's signings we are relying heavily on Stockley. Let's hope he stays fit
Let's hope BP stays fit.
We've not overspent, or gone crazy. Some of our recruitment has been clever. Let's see where we are in January
If Crawley’s correct about the two late signings I’m more than happy with this window, and much more confident about our chances of promotion. And we have a decent squad without busting the bank, good work by the recruitment team and TS.
Whatever people are saying, Purrington/Gunter are NOT disastrous as left back cover, not by a long way, bearing in mind this is League One. And if Adkins and co think we need better we can still bring in a free agent.
Yes, Kirk has looked isolated, but he’s still bedding in, and with Lee and Arter, he’s going to get much better service than he has been getting up to now.
Leko could tear it up playing alongside Stockley, or out wide on the wing. And we have cover for Inniss/Elerewe which is no bad thing. And CBT will surprise us I reckon.

Personally I think this view is massively skewed by us winning on Sat. Suspect you (and others) would be saying very different had we played bad on Sat and lost.
As an overall window I think it's been decent, not great. Most of the signings did strengthen their relative positions but that does throw into sharp relief the positions that haven't been strengthened at all.
I hope that we dip into the free agents to fill in a few gaps otherwise we're taking quite a gamble regarding fitness.

We've brought in some good players but we are still woefully short as a squad in my opinion. One injury to Stockley and the season is over.

The goalkeeper can be filled by an emergency loan quite easily, the glaring hole is at left back, and has been since the last game of last season
Tentatively optimistic.
