Why have we let EOC go? You can say what you like about him but he is NOT deadwood
‘Trimming the squad’
We got Inniss , Ness , Laville , Thomas, Hector 5 centre backs all good enough for league one and the rest of this division
Stop it! Inniss is a liability, Ness is still pretty raw, Lavelle is dross, Thomas has been injured pretty much all the time he has been here and Hector hasn’t played a league game all season.

I know you do this for attention but fuck me mate. Ness is a good prospectt, Lavelle isn't good enough for L1, Inniss has 1 working brain cell and gets injured 5x a season, Thomas is crap and unfit, Hector has played 8 games since 2020. You're chatting shite.
Currently we've shifted off players that have become expensive squad players for cheaper (assumedly) squad players, apart from O'Connell.
Added balance with a LB and have taken a step back with the forward situation (still time to fix that....)
It's not a promotion push window by any stretch but we never were going up anyway.
Not amazing, average.
The players in today and the one rumour are all lacking match fitness though, which, is a concern given how utterly shite we are with keeping players fit.
I once worked with a bloke who was a Coventry City supporter. He vowed he would never go again if they sold Gary McSheffrey. They did & he kept his word. Never went again.
Now I'm not quite in that mould at the moment but certainly thinking about not going much anymore this season & certainly not buying a ST next..........unless in the summer money is spent & we actually BUY players that will improve us & make us stronger.
If you don’t buy an ST, can you do us all a massive favour and leave CL as well ?
How many players do we have out of contract at the end of this season? Feels like we're gonna need a total rebuild again and I have no faith in Martin/Thomas Sandgaard being able to pull it off successfully

No you’re right you’re not in the mould. You’ve banged on multiple times recently on how you were done and not going to back and yet here we are.
Where as it’s sad to lose supporters, and I can completely understand if the long lows and bad times do not counter the rare good.
However if you’re going to go then just do, and stop banging on about it on here every time you’re not pleased with what’s going on.

Asking for (lots of) friends….
No, I'll post on here twice as much just to piss you off.
The Lavelle and EOC situation reminds me of when the Americans thought they were buying Tower Bridge. Only trouble is they have bought Tower Bridge on this occasion and we're the ones stuck with London Bridge

If anyone can pull it off and suckseed it's a *anker like him

And I think here lies the whole key to everything.
If a genuine takeover does happen, it is much easier for the new owners to start again (ala Wigan last year) than it is to have a bloated squad already close to the wage limit.

Well you can only post on here from a position of knowledge i.e. by watching matches, and giving your opinion (never seen a 100% positive post BTW, just saying….)
🤷
It don’t piss me off by the way, just makes you a target - I reckon you could be invited to a 3some with 2 of the most gorgeous women we could imagine, and you would moan about the colour of the bedsheets (pre coitus, before anyone says anything)
I'm assuming that nearly everyone on here would drop Lucas Ness for the next game and would have played O'Connell instead.
I think most would have dropped Innis
I think that both those players have bought into Holden's ethos of bodies on the line, yes Innis makes a bad mistake but if it wasn't for Ness, Innis and Maynard Brewer Bolton would have been out of sight by half time.

it's not a good sign, and im not thrilled about it for the same reasons as everyone else - but considering I've been thinking all day that the inevitable and traditional Charlton deadline day gut punch was gonna be Dobson or Leaburn going i'm actually ok if it's just EOC to be honest.

Im not putting spin on it, im just trying to make sense of it.
The obvious answer being that they've offered silly money to him and potentially us. Its fucking shocking state of affairs but its where we are.
Zero faith in anything associated with Charltons dealings.

They have more money to offer him and at the end of the day, that is the key!
Players come and go...get on with it.
Saying he’s the best CB we have is fine but even he’s not very good.
I’d be far more disappointed if we sold Ness.
