Garrymanilow said:I always see that Cambridge 2-2 match as the beginning of the end for Appleton. Results had dipped a bit after the Reading game, we'd somehow drawn against Carlisle and barely managed to beat Cheltenham 2-1 off two pens. Cambridge at home was another easy match and even though we still didn't play well we were 2-0 up at 87 minutes. Somehow managing to draw 2-2 off two Ahadme goals at that point was an absolute killer and I think that was the start of our complex about always conceding in the last minutes. After that we conceded late in 6 of our next 7 games and things went from Badappleton to Worseappleton. We needed that Cambridge result to start us off to get rid of him though, so what I'm saying is Gassam Ahadme has already done more for Charlton than half the players in the squad and he hasn't even kicked a ball yet. Good lad.

Ok, based on the consensus here and to a lesser extent his goals vid. I'm feeling a bit less furious about May going now. I now have a better idea of what a "Jones striker" looks like. However I'm still in the dark about what the ideal Jones formation is. @fenaddick those Jones vids you posted were a good watch, but he was explaining his tactics in specific games. It showed how he works in-game and it shows that he's flexible enough to adapt. But what's his starting formation? 3-5-2? And where are the goals coming from, apart from Ahadme himself?0

Think they’ll be one more striker.cantersaddick said:I think this is us done for strikers right?
Gass, Miles, Chuks as the big man/lone striker depending on the system. Godden/Kanu as 2nd striker or of we go 2 up to. Tyreece can also do that role.1 -

Welcome Gas “The gas man”. Looks like a malevolent Chris Kamara0

I think the West Ham lad might be in the frame. Kanu out on loan if that works out. 50/50 I’d guessScoham said:

I definitely meant that, sent me shivers saying one of them names let alone the rest.! 😂ForeverAddickted said:
Dont you mean... Please be better than Ladapo, Camara, Penney, Fraser, Ambrose... Erm... Anyone else?SouthLondonisRed said:Please be better than Ladapo.! 🙏
Feels like since we signed Darren Bent and Matt Holland from them, they've perennially had our pants down!!
Couldn’t agree more with the last bit of that message 👍1 -
If it is £1m or near, at least it is spread over a 4 year contract0

Strikers command big fees. Not if they play for Charlton.Simonsen said:
A lot potential. Looks like he could really train on and go the next level (similar to Leaburn).paulsturgess said:Is anybody able to explain how this guy has commanded such a large fee? It looks hugely out of kilter with his on paper career history, but here’s hoping !
Plus, he's a striker and strikers command the big fees.
We pay big fees for players who break down most of the time.1 -
So doing what Theo did all those years ago.Solidgone said:Pay more dosh for his potential (which is a gamble in itself). But NJ feels that he can turn him into a Haarland and recoup the investment plus.
Had faith in Theo and those players back then.We can only hope things are going to turn around . Time will tell.0 -
I knew nothing about him until today.
His wiki page describes him as a 'second striker'
Had a very good scoring record on loan at Cambridge
Spanish education so probably technically good, born in Catalonia, he's of Moroccan extraction
Academy at Norwich
Decent height, somehow looks 'quick'
Good age so let's hope he's an absolutely brilliant signing

I think he adapts formation to personnel slightly. The goals will ideally come from Ahadme and his strike partner but Jones will want late runners from midfield. Look at the way Anderson was playing towards the end of the season. I also hope our set pieces improve, we've certainly increased heightPragueAddick said:Ok, based on the consensus here and to a lesser extent his goals vid.

In terms of somebody playing off a target man we only had cameos from Leaburn (poor) Chuks (semi fit or crocked) Wickham (no integration and a bit past it) so apart from getting his own goals, I'm sure Ahadme will get numerous assists.PragueAddick said:Ok, based on the consensus here and to a lesser extent his goals vid.

He used a 4-4-2 diamond with our u21s (or u23s, whatever it was at the time) and at Luton. I’m sure it’ll be that or 3-5-2. Either way they are similar formations, with one giving you an extra midfielder and another an extra CB, giving the wing backs more freedom to get forward.PragueAddick said:Ok, based on the consensus here and to a lesser extent his goals vid.

I wouldn’t be surprised to us switch between the two and settling with whatever ends up being more effective. They worked well as our main formations under Bowyer.2 -
If he plays 442 with a diamond would we not need a CDM who is able to drop into the back line as an extra CB. Maybe that is Edwards but he's needed at wing back or Z Mitchell in time.Scoham said:

If he players 3 -5 -2 then there is an option for a Dobbo style player alongside Taylor or Coventry with Berry behind the strikers.0 -
The other option with the diamond is one fullback slots in to create a back 3 when attacking. This works if you have fullbacks on each side capable of doing so but I think only Edwards could really so we'd look lopsided. I can't see us switching from 352 too often really.Henry Irving said:

Interesting from April last season, could be viewed either way I guess, he was either one of the better forwards in the league, or he's worse than Stockley:

NJ wanted 9 signings but that was before May left so that should mean 4 more. My guess is a GK, CB and two midfielders, that should then give us the players we need to go with a diamond or three in midfield.Henry Irving said:

Still trying to score from corners ....oohaahmortimer said:think it was 4 pens 7 headers and 2 with his feet in that video
have we got anyone who can cross a ball
what's danny green up to ?2 -
Looks a good signing, however we need wingers that can cross the ball none of our wingbacks barring maybe Edwards as never seen him play can cross the ball. Hopefully some proper wingers are on the shopping list.1
