    If we had Josh Clarke and Ali Koiki as our full-backs this year I would be amazed. Two outstanding players who could reach 10+ assists if they played regularly. 

    This stupid salary cap will not allow that to happen though - so Ben Purrington and Oshilaja it is. 

    How does anyone on here know enough about Ali Koiki after a 15 game stint on loan at Swindon to conclude that?  :D

    Bowyer plays very narrow which allows us to win the midfield battle but also bomb full-backs forward, giving them the opportunity to pump balls into the box. 

    Perhaps I’m being a bit over excited about our chances, but having two full-backs with blistering pace and great ability on the ball is something we haven’t had since Bowyer arrived.

    Of course Koiki could be a dud and this is pointless, but by all accounts he seems very highly rated and Burnley didn’t want to let him go.

    Continuity in football is admirable BUT you are really starting to piss me off Charlton!

    Same - I’ve had enough of us letting leads slip in a friendly games.

    I know it’s only a friendly but conceding another last minute goal is hilarious
  • Only thing that concerns me so far (and its a big one) is the amount of goals Amos is conceding since his return to Charlton

    Played the last three friendlies 

    Three against Aston Villa
    One against Birmingham
    Three against Southend

    Proof as well that we need to get some Defenders through the building

    Not to mention the 4 in the 2nd half of the Arsenal game before the season restarted.

    Pearce being out will be hurting us as well

    Think it’s their u-12s so we’ll have a chance 
  • Just to cheer everyone up with this result, Southend won 4 games out of 35 in league one last season and conceded 85 goals!!
