That is good news - you will be closer to the goal than any of our players have been so far this season.cfgs said:

I thought some of our play against Wednesday was far more entertaining than last season when we saw Pratley, Pearce and Amos passing it between themselves for 90 minutes tbfsam3110 said:We won't get relegated with this side, no. But we sure has hell won't get anywhere near the top 6 either.
The concerning thing for me is there's nothing to suggest to me so far that we'll be entertaining to watch this season, and I'll be ok with that if it's effective and gets us out of this poxy league, but that won't be the case with the current players.
3 weeks to shape the squad, and any new signings now will take time to integrate into our squad, the system in place and the way we play0 -
We cant afford to get even slightly unlucky with injuries though - otherwise what happened v Wimbledon will be a normal league game.sam3110 said:We won't get relegated with this side, no. But we sure has hell won't get anywhere near the top 6 either.

Are people just throwing names out there for a laugh or are we linked? Asking for a friend.1

So if we sign nobody and in early September Stockley, Innis & Famewo get long term injuries and we can't replace them, you don't think we'll get relegated?Lazy_eye_metaphor said:@Covered End even if we sign nobody else this window I really can't see us getting relegated. Lower mid table is the worst case scenario IMHO, just because the worst teams in this league are usually absolutely terrible! There's a real possibility, however, that come the end of the season we could record our lowest league position in 90 years, but not relegation.
We will get 3/4 players out at a time, we always do and we only have 12/13 reasonable fit players now.
Davison your only striker & Pearce & Elerewe as your central defenders.3 -

Oh please … The worst in living memory. Really! Never have I seen such an overreaction in my life. I agree we’re short of quality in depth but this squad is never in a million years the worst in living memory. Clearly you wasn’t around in the 70’s.Covered End said:

We are in my opinion in a much better position than we have been for years. A engaged and enthusiastic owner who I don’t think anyone can argue against is laying solid foundations for the club to improve
A experienced and successful manager with a good back room staff.
I think we have made excellent acquisitions for this level so far and every confidence there will be more before the window shuts
Good academy players coming through who may not be ready to play a significant part in the first team yet but the future looks bright
And yet after a perfectly acceptable first league game and I agree a poor cup performance people are looking at relegation odds having a pop at the owner and manager writing off the new signings and the academy players and generally going into meltdown
I am not saying we will blow through this league but am confident we will be in the promotion picture at the end of the season
come on people less negatively on here COYR
But a stable club is much reduced if it cannot field 11 players of top 6 L1 ability.
AS OF TODAY/RIGHT NOW, the squad is debatably the worst in my living memory.
We have arguably 12/13 fit decent players.
Purrington & Gilbey make 14/15.
Arguably 5 players out injured/suspended is somewhere around the norm, which would leave us with 9 or 10 if you include Elerewy (the only academy player able to step up to the squad on last night's performance).
We need at least 6 first team level players and now have 3 week left.
We need a LW, LB, CAM, striker, CH & GK in that prioity.
Our season is totally dependant on the signings/no signings.
6 good signings and we could be challenging for automatic promotion.
3/4 good signings and we could be challenging for the automatics.
NO good signings and we'll be relegated.
Heaven help us as it stands if Stockley, Innis, Famewo and MacGillivray get injured.
The next 3 weeks are so crucial.
I've all but given up hope on smashing through this league, being Champions, Premier League in 4 years and europe a few years after.0 -

its obvious to me that we are waiting for our 5 loan signings, i dont expect more than 2 permanent signings but they will be decent5

i am reliably informed that kirk to us is still going to happen - i know nothing on timescales - the source is no longer cast iron, once was as cast iron as u could get, but is still very close to many who are cast iron - stick that in the smelting pot - hopefully a little boost for those who choose to believe it, i have no reason not to40

the docherty, pavel abbot , daily era and crofts / foley was the worst i can remember although yes, in the early eighties when i first started going a fair amount, the likes of berry and tydeman were pretty uninspiring, as was the huge ground with not many fans in it meaning not much atmosphere - we're not far off a good team here with a good owner, good fanbase and a great stadium - TS needs to just go that extra bit now and we can take off again7

I think so too and I expect many/most of us do.bertpalmer said:its obvious to me that we are waiting for our 5 loan signings, i dont expect more than 2 permanent signings but they will be decent
But every transfer window the expected signings don't arrive in the end.
We can but wait.
The first 11 are nowhere near the worst, but the only reasonable player on the bench on Saturday was Pearce and that was pre injuries, first game.
We have no squad to speak of, just a first 11/12.2 -
Sunderland sign Dennis Cikrin from Spurs on a permanent deal. He’s a 19 year old left back. Another we’ve missed out on or are we looking for better?1

She left Club Brugge a while back and has done some legal consultancy for us (I run a sports marketing business). She is bloody good at what she does, and a nice woman by all accounts. She knows I am a Charlton fan and all I will say is I feel pretty shit about some of the views I had on her in the past.Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Certainly reading the more personal stuff (looks, family etc) I find a tough read know since getting to know her a little bit. I don't think it was an easy gig here by any means.

Not fair to talk about Berry and Tydeman in this way.DOUCHER said:the docherty, pavel abbot , daily era and crofts / foley was the worst i can remember although yes, in the early eighties when i first started going a fair amount, the likes of berry and tydeman were pretty uninspiring, as was the huge ground with not many fans in it meaning not much atmosphere - we're not far off a good team here with a good owner, good fanbase and a great stadium - TS needs to just go that extra bit now and we can take off again
Both were key members of a promotion team which went up from this level 40 years ago.
Ironically watching the Big Match Revisited a couple of weeks ago reminded me what a good player Tydeman was when we played Fulham with Best, Marsh and Moore.8
