Hope NJs comments about squad depth post match aren't a precursor to not doing anything. 2-3 quality signings in a window where the top sides in this league are going out and strengthening could make all the difference. Attacking Midfielder and a pacey wide player that can alternate or start over TC would be ideal , LCB if the right player became available.

Yup those comments don't sound like we're going to add players .....
New centre half left sided Wide player Attacking midfielder
Get rid of Nathan's unwanteds
Pronto
The only wide players NJ wants are Wing backs, how many times... I think we need a good goalkeeper, it would improve our performances and points total IMHO
Has Richard Cawley taken a step back from rumours, he used to post several on Twitter for multiple clubs, I’ve not seen any so far this year
Charlton have been generally a bit more circumspect in the Jones era about announcing interest in players, often it doesn't come up until things are pretty close.
From the comments that Jones has made I suspect we have a fairly short and specific list of targets and we are not currently that close to completing any of them - but that's not to say work isn't being done.
Good to see he’s impressed. Said the other day I find it hard to judge u21 GKs. Sometimes they have little to do, other times errors in front of them leave them exposed in a way you don’t get as often at senior level.
I wonder if either u21 GK will go out on loan at some point, there must come a time when u21 football isn’t enough, but you don’t want to play u18 GKs at a higher level too early. Pope, Randolph and Elliot all benefitted significantly from loan spells.

Would expect Reid to go out on loan , he had a few Isthmain level loans when he was at Brighton but would expect an NLS club to be his next step or maybe National League.

I expect him to stick around as the 3rd keeper in training unless we sign someone

Always got Maclorg for that if we need someone, as they've tended to rotate over matchday involvement at times.
Plus a NLS or NL loan still allows us to recall Reid if we absolutely need to.

Thought it was telling while Mannion was out it was almost always Reid on the bench (when we had a GK on the bench)
Bonus. Get him gone and we can sign a wide player/forward, a 10, and a central midfielder. I expect a right wingback, left centre back and a goalkeeper to be done in the summer window.
Been on the bench in the last six games, and played nine minutes vs. Northampton
You've got to think that even Nathan Jones isn't impressed with that much limited game time. I know we've not lost any of them (apart from last night), but to not be involved at all, and so give others a little bit of rest...
So if we're looking at Taylor and A Campbell out , I'm assuming a No10 and someone else to compete with Doc and Coventry in? Can't just have Anderson to cover now .

Not to mention Edun as well who has been rumoured to be leaving this window

I never really know what to count Edun as positionally anymore. Obviously was signed as an LB but only seemed to feature under Nathan in midfield. But it's another option in midfield lost if he goes , even if it would be an emergency.

New deal until the end of 2026 for Tommy Reid.
