And the problem is there isn't a single one of them that's promotion-level based on what they've shown for us. Get rid of all 7 and start again and I wouldn't complain. I'd maybe keep Taylor for set pieces and Anderson because he's still improving.ForeverAddickted said:

Why would you look at a player like that and think they could play advanced?
We've got Anderson / Berry as our forward box players
Then we've got Coventry - Taylor - Docherty - A.Campbell - Edun all vying for the other two roles.0 -
Captain Morgan and his Hammond Organ would have some presence in midfield, I’m not sure what Campbell brings. So far it feels like he’s another one of Jones’s trusted guys, but it’s at least one season too manyHal1x said:

I’d far far rather be watching Albie Morgan, it’s getting that bad.0 -
I've said this before but will say it again .... he is extremely slow, is lazy, has no ball control, and is completely one footed. How he gets so much game time after the displays he has given is beyond me. He is awful.4

don’t think he can be labelled lazy. He presses a lot but just lacks the quality on the ball and sometimes doesn’t go in for challenges how he should. He certainly isn’t the player I thought we were getting but he isn’t lazyPhilFor54 said:I've said this before but will say it again .... he is extremely slow, is lazy, has no ball control, and is completely one footed.

I’d say he’s one of those players that makes himself busy running away from the ball and influencing a game rather than trying to get stuck in1
-
Just don’t get it, can’t see what he brings to the table - we are so pedestrian, he’s been woeful, as others have said, he’s 26 played at a higher level and should be just entering his prime.
he has to be better than he’s shown so what’s gone wrong??2 -
Watching him on the stream yesterday he looked to me like a moderate footballer (in terms of being able to kick a ball) who didn’t know what he is supposed to do.
I would play Kedwell from the unders before him.1 -
Ali Campbell?
There's a rat in me midfield what am I gunna do .....0 -
Pedestrian and woeful are the phrases I would use to describe him. How on earth he didn’t get exposed for pace when playing at a higher lever is beyond me ! It’s got to the point now where it’s slightly amusing watching him and Ahadme running through treacle0

One of about 5 midfielders we have in the squad who I genuinely forget is playing whenever he is on the field.5

Chief shirker
I stayed out of much if the post match but I really can't be asked getting worked up about it no more.
But this fella epitomises what we are as a football club.
Promise so much. Deliver so very little.0 -
Bottles every 50/50 challenge which is not what we need when our entire system is supposedly be built on pressing and causing mistakes2

The strange thing is his work rate, pressing and aggression are supposed to be his strengths - it’s what he was known for at Luton.Croydon said:Bottles every 50/50 challenge which is not what we need when our entire system is supposedly be built on pressing and causing mistakes
He doesn’t look like the type of player for us. Just compare to Anderson who does stand out in that way compared to our other midfielders.4 -
Jones doesn't like to help develop young exceptional loan talent which is why Caleb Taylor went to Wycombe and not us.
We got Campbell and should be thankful that we have such an oven ready player.0 -
He only wanted loans he believed were exceptional, which is why we were close to loaning the young Arsenal GK.Addickinedi said:Jones doesn't like to help develop young exceptional loan talent which is why Caleb Taylor went to Wycombe and not us.

He really seems to be an enigma.
When he signed I felt quite positive. Unlike Greg Docherty and Scott Fraser , he has got a full international cap for Scotland , so naively I thought he might be an upgrade., particularly because he played a key role for Luton in their Championship promotion season.
Luton sources felt he was Nathan's type of player although his loan spell at Millwall raised some alarm bells.
Let's hope he improves because currently he is not impressing at all other than the Birmingham game.1 -
The one positive about Allan Campbell is he’s not our player.6

It’s actually remarkable how anonymous our midfielders are almost every match. I’ve never seen anything like it, week after week on full time you think back and you can hardly remember any of them making good tackles or putting in a good pass.cafctom said:One of about 5 midfielders we have in the squad who I genuinely forget is playing whenever he is on the field.

Isn't he on a season long loan so he can't be sent back in Jan?0

We won’t be spending in January, of that I’m sure. A couple of young kids from Prem sides will be it. For me it’s now all about the owners and the summer transfer window. I suppose it might depend on who we lose to other teams but it’s obvious that the squad is woefully inadequate and needs four or five first team players in. Do the owners have the ambition for that because without a summer spend we’re going nowhere fast.1

Bit of a rewrite of history no?

Bet if you asked any Luton fan if they’d take Campbell, Berry and Jones back now they would bite your hand off for them.
It’s clearly not working for him at Charlton but I don’t think the logic holds up here.1 -
I think Edun should be added to attacking options, merely for his cameo at AFCW where he contributed to our belated attempt to get back into the game. He has a bit of pace, can tackle, and has played there before.ForeverAddickted said:

I think everyone's too scared, because it's the most obvious question.cafcsinger said:Would love someone to ask Nathan Jones just what he was thinking bringing in a load of his old mates, particularly Alan Campbell who I can’t stand. Absolute rubbish
But once again, what can he say?
"I thought I could rely on them, but they've all been absolute crap".3 -
Enslin and Huke (injured?) are also options from U21s for creative roles.seth plum said:Watching him on the stream yesterday he looked to me like a moderate footballer (in terms of being able to kick a ball) who didn’t know what he is supposed to do.
