He’s in his Birmingham kit in that pic so I expect this was from our game against them in SeptemberForeverAddickted said:I wonder when he actually signed...
Unless its just the floodlights, that looks like it happened during the day?

Better bet than Bostock. And chance to give Prats a rest (or cover his suspension).9

7 minute video with MS on cafc Twitter now.1

No limit on loan signings only 5 in match day squad... But this is probably incorrect.ForeverAddickted said:
Yeah its really surprised me... You can have five in a matchday squad yet six in total (I think thats the absolute limit)Chippycafc said:Was told earlier on here our loan quota was done.
I certainly never expected Bowyer to go beyond five with how he stresses about having good relations with the parent clubs
Unless after Chelsea's behaviour his new approach is: "f**k 'em"

Looks mustard as far as the Brum comments go. Good for us, our midfield is bow edging brilliant. And with Lyle, Hemed, Bonne, Chucks fit and now able to switch to play 1 or 2 up front with Taylor being the 1 or part of 2, seems good..
let’s win tomorrow 😱3 -
From a Birmingham fan:
“Massively disappointed to see him leave. Battler and winning mentality. So good on his day, unfortunately for him couldn’t get in over Sunjic and Bellingham. You guys will love him”

Must have been really sunny in SE7 today if it’s not under the floodlights...😎ForeverAddickted said:I wonder when he actually signed...

Especially as the sun wasnt out today. That shadow looks like it was done on a bright day.mart77 said:

That's a good analogy.Callumcafc said:
No idea why Birmingham have let him go. This has a touch of a reverse Michael Morrison about it.AFKABartram said:
What do you know Callum?Callumcafc said:Great signing IMO.
Has he not been getting game time at Birmingham?
He’s everywhere on the pitch whenever I’ve seen him play. Got a bit of Pratley about him but is also more well rounded technically too.Obviously not as talented as Conor but I imagine he will play the “Gallagher role” and what he lacks in star quality he will make up for in sheer hard graft.
Loaning a player to a side near you in the table seems odd, it would be like us loaning Jason Pearce to Barnsley2 -
Given how many midfielders we have, I wish we'd sent Dempsey and Morgan on loan to a EFL club. Still have:ForeverAddickted said:
Send Dempsey back to Non-League (no rush), Vennings back to the U23s (can go to Non-League next season)roseandcrown said:
Midfield or lack of it is what has cost us last few months. Cullen, field, Williams, oz, aneke all going to need to be managed having smith and Davis helps that and hopefully ensures we don't have to use vennings and Dempsey who are not ready yetLargeAddick said:He is a decent signing but it begs the question why Smith?
Morgan and Doughty can remain at the club and add depth to the Midfield along with Lapslie
Pratley
Cullen
JFC
Davis
Williams
Lapslie
Field
Smith
All can play as 8s. About half can play as 6s. Then still have as 10s:
Aneke
Oztumer
McGeady
Williams (appears in both lists)
That's a lot of midfielders. Not a bad thing. Just wish we'd used this chance to let Dempsey and particularly Morgan get more experience. Both look to have decent potential, Morgan in particular.1 -

Who knows - with our injury record it might be an idea to keep them both here. The people coming back still aren't fully fit.SDAddick said:

Also may be chance Bowyer might be thinking about switching to a 451 (4-2-3-1) with the numbers we have?0 -
A couple in to get us out of trouble and one for the future perhaps??LargeAddick said:He is a decent signing but it begs the question why Smith?0 -
They are but given his age, no real need to go for him now. Think he'll go in the summer.killerandflash said:

Well, that explains one of his 80 bookings.Callumcafc said:14 -
He'll be suspended by end of February. Makes Pratley look like a kitten.9

Solid loan signing who should help steer the good ship .
One of the tweets above saying he couldn’t get in their team due to Bellingham and Sunjic , the reason he is here is probably because he wants to be playing and deffo has a touch of the Morrison deal about it except of course ours is a poxy loan as usual1 -
It gives us the option of using Pratley at the back too as part of a 3.6

Scored v Villa.
Perhaps he'll score v Millwall.......7 -
An indicator of desperation to lighten the wage bill and having to take any opportunity in the last chance saloon of deadline day ?Addickted4life said:Very pleased with this one. Our best signing of the window!
Baffled as to why Brum have let him go. I hope we have an option to buy.3 -
Morrison’s move to them started as a loan.oohaahmortimer said:Solid loan signing who should help steer the good ship .

Of all the posts in the last 24 hours this is the best. Made me chuckle out loud. l just love being a Charlton fan.grumpyaddick said:He'll be suspended by end of February. Makes Pratley look like a kitten.My Dad first took me to the Valley in the mid 60’s. He’d take me when he wasn’t working on a Saturday. Him being an on course bookmaker this meant that it was always freezing and the ground was too hard for racing. My mother would wrap me up like a baby in swaddling and we’d drive up from Brighton. My first game was an FA cup tie against Preston in January 1966, I was nine years old, we lost 2-3 but I was hooked. Even though I’d been going to Brighton with my elder brother for the previous two seasons, to me Charlton was something else. The size of the old East Terrace, the reverberating noise, and then there were the local ‘characters.’ The one I remember the most sat in the old wooden West Stand on two seats and shouted out the funniest abrasive comments, usually directed at the referee. To a nine year old this was gold dust.
Grumpy Addick, thankyou for reviving the memory and carrying on the tradition.18 -
Considering it's a B/W photo, it could have happened any time before 1907.ForeverAddickted said:I wonder when he actually signed...

I think it's a great signing: a Prately Deluxe.0 -
People are wearing t shirts in the background - I reckon that’s from visiting with Birmingham a while ago. It looks like bright sunlight - wonder if we played them at the Valley in warmer weather?Redskin said:

edit - yep that’s him walking out in Sept 20190 -
This signing gives us the CB back-up we were after. Now Pratley can fill in at CB and Davis play the defensive midfield role. Very clever! In Bowyer we trust!4
-
I think it’s about rotation. I think Bowyer saw what happened earlier in the season and doesn’t want a repeat of a team with Vennings and Dempsey in. Yes, not all can be in the match day squad, but Pratley has been pretty much run into the ground, Field is only just returning from injury as well as Cullen. Don’t think Bowyer always fancies Morgan, so I actually see this as astute way of managing the run in of games.ForeverAddickted said:
