We don't know how Phillips, Doughty, Lockyer and Bonne feel yet. We also have to remember a large chunk of our side have already left. Only one I'm gutted about is Cullen though. The rest of the loans weren't particularly good. I'd take Field and Green though.ForeverAddickted said:

To be honest, even without all our issues, you have to expect to lose players when you get relegated.

If those four stay then along with Washington you could start to think that even just five loans would give us quite a decent squad for next season
This is Charlton though, doesnt work like that for us1 -
welcome back Ben .. IF you ever left ((:>)1

Obviously Lee wouldn't say anything otherwise, but good to hear him refer to Dillon in a manner that suggests we/he wants to keep him. Still expect him to go but it is nice to hear.ForeverAddickted said:0 -

Amos
Deji, Lockyer, Pearce, Purrington
Pratley
Morgan, JFC
Williams
Bonne, Aneke
Plus Doughty, Lapslie, Oztumer, Washington. You're suddently only 3/4 away from a half decent League 1 squad and then 3/4 players from U23 to make the numbers up.
Not expecting it to look anything like the above though. Fully expect Lockyer, and probably Doughty to leave.3 -
exactly what I thought too.ForeverAddickted said:
Nope we've not offered Amos anything this year.SouthWest_Addicks said:
It’s funny how all football fans read into things and we are guilty of it. For example, JFC & Williams are taking their extension because no one else will take a risk on them in current environment. Amos didn’t play a match last year but he’s only been given a contract to replace Phillips.ForeverAddickted said:
Amos will be a decent mentor for Maynard-Brewer as well who you'd expect to be No.2 next season if Dillon did leaveSouthWest_Addicks said:I am struggling to name two better goal keepers in league 1 than Amos and Phillips. Kind of expecting this contract extension will lead to Phillips leaving. At least we won’t be hunting around for a loan keeper this year.
The extension was put forward to Ben when given his contract last year, its his own choice to take it up
These decisions from JFC | Williams | Amos could actually be pissing off ESI as wouldnt be surprised if they'd be praying that all three would leave and so bring down the wage bill
ESI of course could yet choose to sell all three2 -
I put this in another thread, but Bowyer is actually smiling in the video, it's good to see and so different from how he was on talksport a couple of weeks ago.
Hopefully he is feeling more positive about the season ahead, really think he is staying put now as well, which is fantastic2 -
Is Bowyer being pushed in front of the camera? I can’t work out if he’s happy or not at the prospect of staying or whether he’s off but doing his duties while he’s still here1

Does this announcement means phillips is off?0

If anybody offers more than a couple of hundred quid, yes.2121 said:Does this announcement means phillips is off?0 -
I am sure before we got relegated that I saw something about Phillips not wanting to sign a new contract if we are in League One, so I think he is almost definitely off. Even if we had proper owners I imagine he'd be off.2121 said:Does this announcement means phillips is off?1 -

fair play to phillips hes good altho got a lot of criticism last term0 -
In Football Manager I kept Amos for several seasons as he was genuinely happy to be the reserve keeper, only playing the occasional cup game!3

Lockyer has a release clause in his contract if we were relegated. He can leave on a free.cafcfan1990 said:

He'll be gone.0 -
They've offered him a new contract... who knows if that can be approved by the EFL now. Championship or not clubs are reducing budgets.
They'll be a few clubs interested in him in the champ, but surely they want to move quickly before any wage budget voted on? He may feel it better to accept a contract, as I don't think any SE team are interested, and get a smallish transfer release price put in the contract. We're about to enter into the tightest market since ITV Digital, and it's even way tighter than then. It's going to be a very strange market.0 -
IMO as good a keeper as Dills!clive said:0 -
That save was excellent! He knows Dills is no better than him, just a matter of whoever got picked first to prove themselves (and obviously, that they had to do).

He knows he's had a good game on Saturday, his manager has made a point of telling the media how pleased he is with him - and no doubt good praise from team mates in the dressing room.
He's walking 10 feet tall. Confidence makes the player.

It's also good to see and hear Bows talk positively about squad players too. He can be a bit too grumpy at times.0
-
It seems that Amos needs a run of games to be at his best, to get his full sharpness. That loan season with us, he played regularly and was excellent0

Just been announced as the keeper in the EFL League 1 team of the week!7

Well done Ben.cafc-west said:Just been announced as the keeper in the EFL League 1 team of the week!0 -
Absolutely superb today. I'd say that in the last 2 home games, he alone has earned us at least 3 extra points with crucial saves.
We won't miss Phillips at all.1 -

& that is what makes him a good keeper...adjust...👍,we will be just fine with Amos in between the sticks,shame the way it ended up with Dills but heyho...!!jacob_CAFC said:

That's the nature of keeping. Superb for 99.9% of the game, but if Wigan had scored then it would have all been tarnishedjacob_CAFC said:

Yep, hence Phillips' critcisim for a couple of mistakes last season, particularly the one against Millwall, despite him being POTY.killerandflash said:
