    Maybe I am one of the few who are distinctly puzzled at the way we continually change keepers?
    I wouldn’t mind betting that there isn’t a club in the country who has parted company with so many keepers over the last decade or so.
    The infuriating thing is that a good percentage of them go on to carve out decent careers at a higher level. You will find ex Charlton keepers scattered around everywhere.
    Personally I saw nothing wrong with Woollacott and pretty much the same with AMB……watch out for them going elsewhere and doing well by following the trend.

    Only 12 keepers have made over 100 appearances for the club since the end of the Second World War and everyone knows who the first 4 on that list are

    Absolutely this. We chop and change goalkeepers with seemingly gay abandon. Does nothing for building a team. Why I posted earlier that I hope either Isted or AMB go on to become a fixture in goal for a good few seasons.

    Good keeper, bit of a point to prove. Think he'll probably be number one next season. Hoping we can get Edun over the line next on loan.
    That based on anything or just a personal idea?
    Definitely interested. We almost got him over the line in January. Holden rates him.
    I remembered him from January but good to hear that we are back in. Going for a player from a higher league is a good sign of intent if nothing else.
    That link is from January, not recent.

    Funny how people think he's great after just 4 months in League 1 but think May or Stockton are "one season wonders" after they score 20+ goals. 

    First of many I hope.
    I don't think anyone thinks May is a one season wonder given he has two 20 goal seasons in L1. Stockton had one 20 goal season and then one poor one so caution there was probably wise. With strikers it's always worth considering if they've just had a good season (Ajose) or if they're actually at the level needed, and you can really suffer if they aren't. It's a bit different with keepers as we've signed plenty over the years who were unwanted elsewhere but were great for us or someone else. Ben Hamer had 28 L1 appearances for two teams, Ben Alnwick had played an average of about 4 games a season before becoming weirdly brilliant for us in the Championship, Etheridge had about 20 appearances in 10 seasons and then was suddenly a Premier League keeper a few years after that. It's different with keepers to other positions, they can do nothing for years and years but actually be capable of performing at a high level, just kept out by someone else being consistent or a team being settled. You just have to get them while they're in a good place and try and maintain it.
    I have a mate who supports Barnsley and he's absolutely devastated they haven't kept him, so that feels like a good sign to me.

    We’ve changed manager quite a bit over the years, and I think that has something to do with it.  Wollacott was Garner’s man, Holden’s come
    in and probably has doubts re; AMB.  My mind has gone blank as to who our keeper was during 20/21.  I can’t remember if it was MacGillivray or he came in under Adkins at the start of 21/22

    Isted may be good, he might not.  If anyone quotes that throwaway line that keeps cropping up with our transfers over the last few years ‘happy with that’, I’d have to question why?  The truth is we just don’t know how well he’ll do.  A lot of the types of players we can bring in are probably in the same mould.   The Blackburn left back looks okay, but how
    many games did he get for them last season, that would be a good indicator.

    I understand some people on here genuinely follow/have knowledge of the lower leagues, but I think the majority of us don’t have much of an idea about any of the players we’re linked with, so you might as well toss a coin as to whether or not that can do well

    Interesting, as he said, a lot has changed since he came there when he was 10 years old. Was he a trialist here?  Or maybe he played in a youth side for an opposition club more than likely?

    i m o keeper is the most important position on the field .. however he is usually only as good as the defence in front of him .. let's see what defenders are re-signed or signed over the next few days (hopefully)

    Is this a trick question? I'm thinking Gritty and Brownie played more than 100 games each!!!! It doesn't state if all 100 games were as keepers, but both have kept goal in emergencies.

    I reckon the odds lean more to they won’t be that good because in recent years it’s been more guff than not … hence season 10 in 15 in the third tier of shitness starts in 6 weeks

    I didn't realise it was Holden's to sell.  He kept buying it pretty quiet.

    The 12 keepers that have played 100 games or more for Charlton since world war 2 .

    my favorite has to be Charlie Wright.

    Bit of an under whelming signing for me. Of all the positions we need to strengthen and replace the dross the goalkeeper wasn’t one of them 

    With a hard working midfield and solid defense JJ and AMB would have been fine

    and now we have AMB and Harry, really can't see a problem. JoJo wanted to leave, we got a fee, signed a decent keeper on a free, back to where we started. Nothing to see here at all.

    We now have two relatively unproven,  with limited experience,  keepers instead of 1 
    of course one/both may be decent but I’m not convinced yet by AMB , time will tell
