This is where having a manager already in place (especially someone like Jones) could make the difference in persuading players to choose us over rival teams...

A brand new concept that could work.
At least we are consistent though
Charlton Athletic go into their Second transfer deadline day of the season and on both occasions have no head coach or manager in charge
Big day ahead as we have ended up with a really unbalanced squad. Losing CBT has taken away most of our attacking outlet. Both wings back aren’t good enough to step up to replace CBT numbers in terms of assist etc, and we don’t have an attacking midfielder who can link play between midfield and attacker.
Id like to see - Sam Smith from Reading join today as then Alfie could play as a 10. - think another Centre Back would be good - Asimwe and Edun would be good wing backs with what we have. Need to stop the goals going in as we have enough firepower up front to always score in a game especially if Chuks is back soon from the bench as an impact player.
Glad someone else said this, now I know I’m not the only one.
Average number of signings in L1 is about 2.7, with 7 new faces (6 outfield) I don't think we can complain too much.
We can, because we are down the bottom, have "loaned" out our most influential player in terms of outlet and pace, have signed players who still haven't done any better than nicking us a 1-1 draw away to the mighty Blackpool and see us sitting precariously above the drop zone
So. Sadly. We can complain and should !
Oh and 7 in and 7 out. So basically we've signed ZERO players... or just replaced a load of shit we bought and loaned in - a significant amount by Andy Scott who presides over our search for other players to get him and us out of the mess they were partly responsible for creating and sacking two managers he was responsible for bringing in/part of the team bringing in
I can't give them a ringing endorsement right now!
One for when we inevitably miss our targets today. Tarique Fosu is still a free agent, would give us a wide option for some flexibility. And he also played as a 10 for Bowyer, and as an attacking wing back at times for Brentford so could still fit into a 3-5-2 if that’s what we go with
If we don’t sign a player that replicates the directness in attack of CBT then we’ll be in trouble. The signings earlier in the window look decent, but I fear without the goals/assists CBT brought in the first half of the season we won’t be able to get the points we need in this second half to steer us clear of the drop.
Dobbo signing a new contract and a new RWB/RM option would do me and should prove enough to stay up. That is all we are looking at now for this season, while the newer players with potential Coventry, REG, Gillesphy will all have a chance to properly settle in ahead of a proper go for it next season (if we continue to invest in the summer…).

To be clear CBT made it clear he wasn't going to sign and refused to play for us - he was not injured. We had to get him off the books.
Whilst he was exciting going forward he literally did NOTHING defensively. We became far too predictable with him in the team. Yes we've lost an outlet ball but seeing as most teams double marked him he wasn't as effective towards the end of his time with us because our manager couldn't see that this would leave fucking great big spaces elsewhere.

Since he's gone we've not won a game. We can all have opinions and on paper the changes we are making are for the better, but if we ultimately go down, "selling" CBT will have been bad business and "selling" him to a club that really it's a loan, but we've allowed him to play against us twice in the next 30 days is madness too!

Utter madness.
The run of games of not winning before he left was a lot longer than the run of games of not winning since he went. He hasn’t played against us twice. Depending upon which CBT turns up he will probably have half a game against us Saturday with the jury then out as to whether they risk him against us later in the month.

Supaclive, since the loss of Leaburn and Chuks we haven't won too many games with or without CBT.

Well who could have possibly seen this being a problem? Only Charlton could go into 2 deadline days with no manager in 1 season. Not learning after the first one that didn’t go well
Even more madness that the SMT haven't got themselves a manager in time for deadline day Another thing we shouldn't blame them for @DubaiCAFC ?
Written in plain English, by a respected journalist, that players who we are interested in (and others are interested in) want to know who they are going to play for
What's the definition of insanity?
Oh yes, having no manager in place on transfer deadline day

If that’s insanity what do you describe doing it twice in one season as!
Appleton should have been sacked earlier and then we’d have a new manager by now
Comments
Stevenage have let in 18 fewer goals than us, that's down to coaching.
Hopefully they wake up soon before more of our targets find themselves with a new club.
Also need a manager. A very busy day at Charlton.
