Glad to see that you don't think we are in trouble. One win in fifteen is nothing to worry about and fortunately we don't have any injury problems.stonemuse said:
This is crazy, why do I have to be so repetitive ... we are not in massive trouble.PopIcon said:
So you are saying we are not in trouble?stonemuse said:
3 points adrift at the bottom of the table at end March is bordering on massive trouble.ShootersHillGuru said:One win in fifteen is bordering on massive trouble if things don’t turn around pretty damned quick.
3 points adrift at the bottom of the table in mid-April is massive trouble.
Currently we are not in, nor do we border, massive trouble.
And personally, I do not believe we are in trouble at all. This is temporary.
Just a blip.
trouble!!!!!7 -
I still think getting Maddison in is a statement of intent and should be done but what do I know4

Unfortunately I must agree, automatics probably out nowhoof_it_up_to_benty said:

You've obviously never seen a Charltonlife football matchCovered End said:
Players never used to be honed athletes, with barely an ounce of fat on them.
The days of a piss up the night before, fry up for breakfast and fag at half time are long gone.

Literally the shittest of shit defects this site has had.Braziliance said:That quote glitch is proper annoying. In response to it being a league 1 team I've seen us line up far better in league 1.
Bring back the double spacing.1 -

the proof is in the pudding.stonemuse said:
We are not in massive trouble ... Lee about to sign, a number of players being looked at, players returning from injury, 5 points clear of relegation and a better goal difference.cafcfan1990 said:We are in massive trouble.
I get that Southall is in a tricky position, we don't want to offer decent money and then find ourselves in League 1, but this is similar to the summer where we are missing out on decent players because we can't offer that bit extra.1 - Sponsored links:

Don't worry mate, Preston and Fulham are s***, we'll coast these games.Goonerhater said:I keep reading give them time ,which I agree with ------but what about this weekend ? No players in and a key player gone.0 -
I'm confident if we drop into the bottom three we'll stay there.ShootersHillGuru said:I’m confident that we will hit bottom three hopefully before a return to form and safety. We really are skating on thin ice. No guarantee returning players will hit the ground running or not relapse. No certainty that new players won’t take time to settle and perform. This season is very squeaky bum time. Relegation would be an absolute disaster.
The rest of your post is bang on.1 -
Come on let's have a positive today
Even the tea lady on a extended new deal is more than we would have got under rowland1 -
This is beginning to remind me of the Ben Reeves transfer saga. 2 clubs agree a deal, then the player stalls on signing in case someone else comes along with a better offer and then only when no better deal is forthcoming does the player sign.
From Maddison's point of view perfectly understandable but it doesn't inspire confidence he really wants to sign for us.0 -

If that was the case no players would sign for a new club until the 31st Jan......but many clubs have already bought players so what you say doesn't hold water.Callumcafc said:This sums up the January window. The agent of every in demand player is telling their clients to wait until the last minute to try to squeeze every penny they can out of the most desperate bidders.
It’s all well and good telling the club / Gallen / Bowyer to give the player what they want but I highly doubt any player takes a good offer right away - they may even push their demands further. After all what’s another 500 quid p/w if we agreed to 1k?It’s in their interest to wait and see what else develops.
Nothing that CAFC can do but wait.0 -

Nothing that CAFC can do but wait.According to the latest figures the window has been abnormally quiet.1 -
why the excitement over Bostock (age 28 lol) ? .. he's played 3 games in England in the past 7 or so years and if he is so terrific, why are Forest prepared to release him early form his loan period .. we might as well have kept Ledley .. are we at the stage when even the hint of getting in (say) a Macclesfield reserve right back sets us all off in a joyous frenzy ?5

Bostock is a massive upgrade on Ledley. I admit that's not saying much, but lets not shit on players just because they're not premier league or top 6 championship standard.Lincsaddick said:why the excitement over Bostock (age 28 lol) ? .. he's played 3 games in England in the past 7 or so years and if he is so terrific, why are Forest prepared to release him early form his loan period .. we might as well have kept Ledley .. are we at the stage when even the hint of getting in (say) a Macclesfield reserve right back sets us all off in a joyous frenzy ?

Agreed, he changed the game at the valley earlier in the season, replacement for Kayal on loan I’d be happy.Dazzler21 said:

Start of last week I remember posting that Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I reckon they at least had some tools to get started by now.
We are sacrificing two games for the long term, which will be shite if the short term is shite. Surely we want to head into the Barnsley and stoke games without pressure, I’m not panicking but something should have been done before this weekend.
We will now end up rushing back the recovering players, so brace yourselves for more setbacks. However you look at it, we are currently weaker now than we was Jan 1st squad wise.1 -
the man who really affected that game was Albert Adomah .. I'd welcome him with open arms, even though he is over 30Jamie19 said:

Remember when Bostock played for Spurs against us in the FA Youth Cup - they won 3-0 and he absolutely ran the show with one goal from distance and another with his left and another with his right.
It all went rather downhill from there from him - if you exclude him finding God that is. As @Henry Irving will confirm "that must have been one hell of a pass!"1 -
Wouldn’t say we are shitting on the lad, just hard to get enthusiastic about a sub for a team that we dominated this season.Dazzler21 said:

Williams, JFC, Hemed, Cullen and Oztumer all in the squad for Saturday according to Bowyer so I’m sure we’re stronger than January 1st, I was starting to get a bit anxious but I’m a lot more confident that they’ll get this window right after just watching the press conference.BR7_addick said:Start of last week I remember posting that Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I reckon they at least had some tools to get started by now.
