    So why meh
    Its shorter and quicker to write "meh" instead of saying... "Am sorry I have a lack of interest or enthusiasm in your post"
    Prick
    Certainly not the first nor last to ever call me that :)
    Meh would've been a better response surely
    Whats strange is I was asked why Meh is used and other than offering the explanation of "well its shorter and quicker to write" I dont know how that can be viewed as a prick reply.

    Nor is it really a rumour that Im a prick!! ;)
    Whatever

    Josh will have to score 20+ goals if we are to get automatic promotion.

    No, why does he need to!

    Bolton's top league scorers last season were four different players with 9 goals each. That includes one of their centre half's.

    Spread the goals around and keep it tight at the back.
    Going over old ground but we will need 70 goals to be in the playoffs. Josh scores 20 ???? We still need 50 goals spread around the team. Anything less than 20 be it through injury or otherwise and I think promotion is a non starter.

    Just to point out that there are only 2 teams in the division who have so far scored more goals than Charlton.
    And one of those teams has only scored 1 more than us.

    Our 7 goals scored in 4 matches = 1.75 goals per match.
    Which equates to a projected total of around 80 goals for the season.

    Mind you, using this formula on their scoring record this season, Magennis, JFC and even Baur will be expected to score 23 goals each!
    Remember, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics".

  • Josh Wright and Gillingham have mutually agreed to terminate his contract, according to Sky sources.

    The midfielder enjoyed a sensational 2016/17 campaign, netting 14 times in all competitions after being deployed in an attacking midfield role for the first time in his career.

    on the way??

    That is really odd...

    Left out of the Gillingham squad on the Weekend but surely they could get a fee for him? - Going by the below sounds as though he's leaving them the exact same way he left us (i.e. Didnt he throw a strop when he wasnt picked against Sheffield United in a FA Cup game?)

    Last thing we need is another bloody midfielder !! We already have Reeves & Aribo not currently able to get into the team.

    What we friggin need is a striker. If Big Josh gets injured for any length of time you can kiss goodbye to promotion l.

    Josh Wright would be a great addition to the team and much better now than Crofts in my opinion. It would also allow Jackson to concentrate more on his coaching role and playing left back if we really need him too.

    Right now our main two is Kashi who we have to be very careful of and look after, and Forster-Caskey who is a different type of player. We then have Crofts who is alright for the squad but I wouldn't want him starting a length of games, and Aribo is still very young and Robinson may feel there are parts of his game that needs work first.

    Signing Wright isn't a priority but he is definitely someone who would improve us, that's for sure.

    Strange, when he's surely one of their best players. It's not as if he's playing a long way from home and needs to come back south for personal reasons
