Christ on a bike, we really do have some bed wetting, self flagellating, entitled, unrealistic and melodramatic f****** tobys in our support.
Some of the comments are beyond parody.39 -

I will never understand posts like this. It's a Charlton forum/thread to discuss signings, whether good or bad. If people want to be positive let them be, if people want to be negative let them be as long as it isn't extremely ignorant. Labelling people over their footballing views isn't on.
Always remember when you read text it could be entirely different than how someone would say it vocally, not to mention the lack of physical body language. Misinterpretation is so easy over a message board or social media

So we signed 4 players, a CB, CM, Defender and a Striker.
The holes in the squad we have all been crying out for to be filled.
However, because we haven't heard of them and 3 are loans, they must be crap!
Fuck me, they haven't even kicked a ball yet, but we still judge!
I sometimes despair with our fanbase recently.
I've supported this club since I was 5 (now 68), I've never known such rhetoric before we've even seen what they can bring....unbelievable, but then I suppose some people just like to criticise for the sake of it!

But you can’t just look at the reaction to yesterdays transfer business in isolation, that’s not really how human emotions work. Currently our long wished for new ownership has delivered a manager-less team languishing near the bottom of the table on a five game losing streak who have put in some of the most abysmal performances in recent memory. That’s going to influence people’s perceptions of everything to do with the club at the moment, especially on the playing side.Redmidland said:So we signed 4 players, a CB, CM, Defender and a Striker.

Give them a chance FFS!I agree we have to give these signings a chance, frankly we have no alternative given our predicament. Maybe they are world beaters, maybe we’ve done a number on the rest of the league by convincing these soon to be superstars to sign for us. But don’t be surprised if people’s predisposition is negative right now, I don’t blame them.12 -
Lots of complimentary comments about Bristol Rovers signing JCH which didn’t happen and they also lost striker Ryan Loft . Not so great after all.2

I agree,when the, teams are announced at the Valley,how many of the other sides players do we know,in my case virtually none,same as the young loan players from other clubs.We are in league 1 we do not sign players that are household names.Judge these players in 3 months time,you never know,a Cullen,Beilic Saki or Gallagher could appear.Redmidland said:So we signed 4 players, a CB, CM, Defender and a Striker.

To be fair , that’s exactly what you were doing . People are entitled to their opinions- you’re more optimistic that me and as ever , I hope you turn out to be rightMajor said:

Man that's sad. There's definitely a player in there. Maybe when fixtures and injuries pile up he'll get a look in, and he'll look better with Edun creating an overload alongside him.Callumcafc said:
I'm wondering if we were willing to let him go out on loan, and if so, how much of his wages we were asking the loaning team to pay.2 - Sponsored links:

The issue is the "nay-sayers" were right last window, the window before, rhe window before that etc etc etc and have been criticised EVERY time for complaining/being concerned.
Who's more in the wrong?
Those criticising the ney-sayers countless times despite them repeatedly being wrong themselves or the ney-sayers criticising the club or having a (usually) more balanced and objective view?!
The ney-sayers don't belittle others (usually) or pour scorn on oppositve views.
I'm sure 99% of the ney-sayers wish to be proven wrong. Really. They do.23 -
And no doubt hoping for a pay out as well, never understand posts like that...🤷♂️ct_addick said:Just put a bet on for us to be relegated......this ownership is a joke2 -

Chem is more the JRS replacement, you're missing our top scorer too.2

Skipped the last 400+ posts in this thread, it is what it is, the team as always gets my support, I will still be at every single home match, I will still be travelling to a bunch of away matches but right now I feel owners have set up us up to fail in our goal for top six.
Going to take a break now as can see toxic positivity is on show, no room for discussion, no room for concerns, I am sure it is all going to work out fine just like the majority of the last decade.6 -
Looking at that you'd say we've probably slightly strengthened in terms of depth.Defensively we're still weak and we also lack someone with the quality of JRS that can win games on their own.
The new loans feel like lottery tickets. Will Watson be a Cullen? Or is he just another Matt Smith?
Unless we get some real luck, I feel like this is another season of us finishing between 14th and 10th with some good wins and shocking losses.6 -
Upgraded on Inniss, Morgan, Henry and Bonne (wasn't hard really). Added an extra CB, CM and Forward.
Will see how they do before writing them off completely.
If Mcgrandles and Kirk get fir and their acts together for the new managers they could be like new signings 🙃4 -
Fuck it, I think we’ve had a good window, our show stopper striker signing was May, you’re not gonna have a team with two 25 plus goalscorers in, how many teams can boast even one of them.We’ve started appallingly so the pressure is on them now they’ve got to get results.3

Seems like a good close to the window. Looking forward to seeing what the loanees look like on the pitch. Fingers crossed for a good manager and I’ll be delighted if it’s LB.1

Don’t suppose anyone has a list of our transfer business during this window they could share? Literally asking for a friend.0

I feel a bit more positive than I did yesterday morning. We have made a massive gamble signing a lot of young players. Let’s see how it pans out now. Hopefully Scott has played a blinder15

The good news is Dobbo and Miles are still here.13
-
The truth is we have gone so rogue with these signings that none of us can really judge how good/bad a window that was. Hopefully we've discovered some gems.

The unwritten bit of that squad list (which looks much better on paper) is fitness. Fraser, Camara, Miles... only good if they can play. Edun, can he play 90? If so, why do we keep taking him off?! Are the new signings ready to go? Why do we bother even putting Chuks on the list?
IF we get a fit squad, then it looks interesting.8 -
Feeling fairly positive. As others have said the loans are a real test of Scott but we have to remember loans can be hit and miss anyway. Apart from Watson II and Abankwah our signings have played a decent amount of senior football despite being young. Tedic should help set pieces at both ends and be good for May to work off. Think with Camara and Fraser back the midfield looks lots stronger. Hopefully the defence can be sorted out on the training pitch

On paper this looks like good business, just hope the new manager can gel it all together and we can keep them off the treatment table.sam3110 said:4
