    There's no chance Jack Payne would be playing in what was basically a Crawley Trialists side at Isthmian League East Grinstead last night.

    Think an additional attacking pacey winger should be the priority.

    Doesn't learn does he? Stockley is very one dimensional, Aneke is always injured or can only play 30 mins at a time, Davison struggled to score regularly in the league below this one, and Leaburn is 18 years old and completely unproven.

    I'm not sure how effective "Garner-ball" is going to be with a squad full of non-scoring midfielders and that 4 up front, time will tell but I have my doubts

    Well I'll go first. If he is relying on an 18 year old and Davison plus two crocks for a strike force than we have absolutely no chance of making the play offs.

    Pigott for me, if Ipswich are letting him go. He's got the technical ability to be a different option to Jayden. I like Stockton but there are too many ifs.

    Seems like it's a bad year for strikers, can't think of too many good ones who will be available.
    I know Piggott personally and trust me he ain't coming to Charlton. 
    I really wanted us to be 100% big immobile lumps up front ; shame 
    You've always got the best takes on strikers ;)

    Wait and see what happens before we judge his words. We would all like to see options uo front but if we are playing 433 a quick goal scoring wide player is definitely more important

    One for those who watch the youth set-up:

    Did Leaburn and Kanu play in the same team last season or were they in different age brackets?

    Have you ever seen pigott play?
    Yes quite a bit - since his youth team days in around 2011/12.  You ?

    What is true is that it is probably best not to sound desperate for a striker. As a fan of his dad, I dearly hope Miles has a great career but it is wrong to put too much pressure on the lad. If he steps up then he steps up. It could be now, it could be later. When it happens, then you bank on it. The mistake we made last season was thinking the U23s could step up. It happens when it happens and when it does, that is the time you don't need another striker, midfielder etc...

    Both played together in the 18s and at the end of the season U23s.

    ML is older than DK by a year or so

    TS letting agents know he isn’t desperate. Smart guy…

    Exactly, why people have to rage blackout instead of seeing this I don't know. A month ago he said we'd sign no players untill the end... which turned out to not be the case.

    If the strikers don’t score then the other players will have to.

    Deluded if he thinks we will get out of this division with Stockley, Aneke who can’t or won’t do 90 minutes, Davison, enough said, and a kid without a single league appearance.

    What does his manager think about it? The only opinion that counts if you want to go up this season.

    Something we have to consider is the fact that the best loans come late in the window as parent clubs leave the decisions until that time. Sandgaard has mentioned this so he must understanding. The best of these loans are not free and need a lot of work and hopefully we are working on some strong ones.

    Wouldn't be surprised if this were the case.

    Hopefully Miles and Josh will get some valuable minutes tonight against Colchester, as it will give a better benchmark as to how both could cope against proper EFL sides - Dartford on Saturday was impossible to tell, especially going by their Manager's comments, when he said that their team in the 2nd half was trialists and U18s.

    The clips of the Sunderland Chairman, trying to sign Will Grigg on Deadline Day and paying vastly over the odds is probably a good example of how a lot of fans (at any clubs) would approach the Transfer Market.

    I'm seeing a different side to TS and his public comment. The reason Cawley and others still ask him for a quote on how the tea was brewed is because a year ago you couldn't shut him up. He was a media dream. He was outspoken and at times outlandish on a number of key issues - from "blowing the league" to the 5 year plan to the "ladies" debacle.

    Now I'm noticing he still speaks almost as much but he barely says anything of any substance or material opinion at all. He says things that are more slow-paced and sensible and often from the perspective of commending what or who we have. I listened to him speak on Saturday and thought the same. He struck the right balance between candid and respectful over Jokat for example.

    I see this as a good thing. We all (him included) needed a lot less hot air and a focus on actual delivery.
    Agreed, get our business done under the radar, no fan fare, no promises. He's learning.

    Personally think we will see Davison move on and someone will be brought into replace him. Fully expecting that player to be a back up to Stockley. Can see why there is no rush when we already have the main guy, just looking for his back-up.

    If you ask any manager they probably want more signings than the owner allows. That’s just a part of football.

    Deluded if anyone thinks that those 4 would be good enough to get us into the top 6.

    One hasn't played a league game in his life
    One we loaned out to a lower league club & although did ok hardly set the house on fire
    One has a history of not being able to play 90 mins
    One had a back injury last season & only played 30 odd games.

    Well that's ruined my day. Miles has barely played for the U23s yet. Josh looked embarrassingly bad at league one level last year. That leaves Chuks, who can't play 90 minutes, and Jayden, who can barely kick a ball with his feet.

    There's a big distinction between 'not signing a striker' and 'not urgently signing a striker'. It's good to know he's not ruled out bringing one in but generally speaking the strikers are priority targets that get locked down early, if we don't want to fork out for a Cole Stockton or a McKirdy, then be prepared to have cast-off players that are only decided when clubs are settled. 

    Personally didn't like the latest release, Davison should be nowhere near our actual playing squad this year and Leaburn shouldn't have this much pressure on his shoulders, he should be with the U23s unless he is setting those games on fire also.

    It is unlikely, but personally I would love it if Davison scored 12 or 15 goals for us next season.
    I base that on him being a good lad and a real trier, and some of the criticism has been harsh.

    I would be truly astonished if Sandgaard actually truly believes that we are fully stocked for strikers. 

    But him going around saying we're actively looking for one would achieve nothing other than adding a few more zeroes to all wages/transfers/agents fees.

    Playing it cool in public is a sensible enough tactic.
