Unfortunately JFC wasn't very good tonight. He's got the experience but when the game wasn't bypassing him, he was overhitting long passes to no-one.
He had the lowest pass completion percentage of any of the three starting midfielders: Dobson 93.9% (31/33), Gilbey 86.7% (26/30), Forster-Caskey 86.5% (32/37).
It’s a very high work rate midfield. Albie seems to be getting the nod at the moment with a duty to be a contributor in the press and track first and a creative player second. I’m not sure that JFC has the legs in him to get around as much as he’s required to in this midfield. He struggled in midfield in the Championship under Bowyer for similar reasons when the game was a bit quicker. No shame in not being suited to a style and it was only his first game of the season but I can see why the players who are ahead of him are
If you've not got anything to say regarding formations, managers or fish puns. Please refrain from posting. Sick of rumours clogging up this thread...
Fish puns eh....?
Well really! You might at least have given out a warning first, but no, nothing! Please refrain from posting images of this nature in future, at least until after the nine O'clock watershed. Thank you!

Apologies...wasnt aware that Swordfish liked the look of a Goldfish
Garner says there’s a chance for every player to move on when asked about CM. Also confirm we’re working on signings, doesn’t say how many but the article suggests one or two.
The Addicks are hoping to get at least one or two more deals over the line before the transfer window closes.
“We are moving forward,” Garner said. “It’s getting closer. We keep chipping away and hopefully, as soon as we can get them in, we will”

The fact Garner says 'them' hopefully means its multiple and that they are quite close

I think we will get the foward this week then a defender next week maybe a league 2 one for a fee. Then we will be done.
If anyone leaves it will be either they want to or we get a ridiculous offer.
Assuming the defender is over age that still leaves us with 2 (I think) squad spaces if we want some last minutes loans or some one we really want becomes available.

My read of that re: McG is that we're not actively looking to sell him and won't accept just any offer but if the valuation is met then he'll be off.
Some guy behind me in the West stand speaking on his phone said JRS had signed on loan before the game. Reckon he was wrong but will be with us shortly.

How dare you tease me with that. Charlie McNeill would be the final piece of the jigsaw
I can see they played in the England U16s together at least ha ha. Am wondering if JRS has already been introduced to the team, or it’s because they move in the same circles.
By the way, if our summer transfer business is "leaving us behind" and "playing catch-up," how comes our second string just beat a Championship first team?

It's one game. Every Championship side that played a lower league team lost last night
Henry and JRS would know about each other due to development football.
Not counting Ness (harshly criticised anyway) but Leaburn, Morgan, Henry and Clayden all played a part last night. Steve Avory was there and must’ve been pleased.
I predict there are other decent players who will emerge pretty soon.
What they will lack is experience of grown men playing professional football, but are already very experienced in football as a sport if that makes sense.
Albie Morgan was an eye catching player coming through and playing with and against his peers, he is still very young but his professional experience has added value.
We have others who can grow into the professional game similarly.

For me it's definitely him. Or his doppelganger
How about that for ITK?
