We need another left back regardless of how good or shit Edun has been.
Edun suffered from playing on the same side as CBT who lets him down by not tracking back like we saw again on Monday … Edun excellent young full back would like to see him wing back with Watson
Will be interesting to see what the CM options look like by the end of the window, wonder if it's Coventry or Docherty or possibly both? Both would leave us quite unbalanced as a squad but not if Watson goes back to Luton and the currently injured 3 need time to get back to fitness.
If we got both I'd definitely be looking to get Anderson out on loan in League 2 to get him consistent minutes
For me the debate is still open if Watson & Edun are an improvement on Clare & Sessegnon yet.
The only position in the team the new decision makers have improved IMO is upfront with May but if you go with the rosier fan logic that the likes of Scott have no blame for the poor recruitment last January then they logically can not get any credit for May either since it was not their club yet.
So I am still waiting for a signing from them that significantly improves us.

Personally I’d say they are about the same/ slightly worse.
What type of midfielder is Greg Doherty? Are we after Coventry and Doherty I wonder?
You’d have to think both would mean Dobson is off now, not in the summer.
And if we sell him and CBT then this supposed ‘impressive January window’ from the new owners might not be so awe inspiring. Using that money to fund replacements is just house keeping, not having a go at next season.

Cawley’s inviting people to ask questions. I can’t work out whether I should be embarrassed and who for.
He’s replied to the first two saying they’ll cover those. Will be interesting to hear the answers especially on the midfield.
There is Something really embarrassing about grown men constantly pestering Rich Cawley for some transfer information.
People really care about the club and it's progress and it means a lot to many of us.
He's a journalist on social media talking about transfers....can't see what is embarrassing about that anymore that a group of men and women spending their days talking about Charlton and favourite cheeses under anonymised pseudonyms really.
we need 2 first choice full backs, neither Watson or Edun are good enough - both are poor defensively (especially Edun) and neither are good going forward
I said this to Scott who didn't appear to agree (although tbf he can't say in public my 2 wing back signings are poor defensively.
Disagree on Tennai - think he’s been fairly strong attacking wise since the day he made his first appearance and he’s been trending upwards on his defensive contributions too.
So there is a rumour that the guy who was in our stadium on Saturday has failed a medical and that may be why it's now Thursday and we've not had it announced he's signed We like Coventry from West Ham We like Docherty from Hull - but Cawley says we are not close on that deal yet We like a player from MK Dons who's been taken back off loan at Swindon, but apparently Derby are favourites to sign him We like JCH (but we have for a long time) and there are other suitors
Well, at least we SOUND active. We LOOK active. Signings required. I'm sure they're working hard - all the previous management have told us that. Sadly Saturday's game is 48 hours away and looks like we'll be going into that game with the same squad that's seen us lose our last three and look the worst side potentially we've ever had.
I'm not going all Golfie yet and I know it's only the 4th January. But we have been here before. Many, many, many times.
I am also not convinced Jones is a significant improvement on Innis currently.
Although like May, Jones even if you do rate him is not a signing by Scott if he gets a free pass for last January.
I spoke with Gallen about 3 weeks ago and above is 100% correct. He said categorically Jones was 100% him and only him that got that deal done. He also gave me a lot of other info that I promised I would not share.

What difference is it to the days people use to load up football news on Teletext or more recently general scouring of internet forums? Also love the use of the term 'pestering' neither of these posts show any 'pestering'.

Embarrassingly incorrect post.
Have I touched a nerve dazzler ? Are you one of the ones who pester rich? I have seen That Rob message Rich almost daily like some lover stalking his ex, every time the transfer window opens. I didn’t necessarily mean just those two posts, if you don’t find it embrassing then so be it.
Also it's mad that we actually have some solid rumours for once but instead of talking about them we're talking about the twitter activities of our fans/the only local journalist to cover our transfers in depth

Yes, I’ve also been given a lot of information that I’ve sworn on pain of death that I’d keep schtum, mostly bollox but a promise is a promise.

Wait and see I guess.
2. Watson
3. Edun
4. Clare
So its about even for me

Innis would get sent off multiple times a season if not already on the sidelines injured.
