Maguire is an unknown entity in this league. Ike did really well and can hopefully replicate his performance regularly now and we should sign him in the summer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So we fail in the transfer window as many expected would be the case, everything is left to the last minute once again, Poveda might prove a good signing, but this is more luck than forward planning, or it would have been a signing instead of a loan which means we have 7 loans and two wont be involved even if fit every game. We then get, there always free agents excuse, then in the last few days the manager is using the free agents wont be fit excuse. Not just Danny, Darren Moore had to wheel out the same excuse instead of just saying what we all know there wont be any free agents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in our first match since the window closed a striker we signed scored 2 goals and the winger we signed was man of the match. Yep, massive failure. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, massive failure. We needed a central midfielder before we lost 3 in the transfer window. That's a massive failure, and we'll likely see that when the injuries, suspension, and fatigue set in as the season goes on. Beadle, Pedersen, Ugbo and Poveda look to have been a decent bit of business so far, given the budget. Though I suspect having to go thread bare in central midfield to fund it, that's going to cause us problems in the coming weeks and months. Keeping Gregory, James, and others not in Danny's plans was a failure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Some fans thought we had a bad window and that Charlton had beat us to two players we would have been better off with. Here are the comments of CA ST holder, Occam's Razor, on the two we missed out on and also his thoughts on Bakinson after the recent 2-0 defeat to Reading. What is Connor Coventry supposed to be good at ? He had no influence on the midfield, and his free kicks & corners were pony. Ladapo .. ….where to start ? He looks shot to pieces. He’s so slow, and his touch is so poor. He can’t even hold a ball up for May, or win a header. Bakinson is a slow, lumbering & clumsy donkey. He’s a L2 holding midfielder at best, he’s never a No. 10 in a million years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is, changing this squad around is going to take time. Not one window. We had an aging third division side, that limped over the line to promotion. We then completely f*cked up the summer with some shocking signings. DR has inherited a squad incapable of competing in this league, has worked a miracle getting us back in touch with those above, made four signings, which look like they could be good. We have the best management team we e had in a long long time, why not back them and see what they can achieve? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't there's no chance of signing players like Ugbo, Poveda and Bernard. They won't be playing in League One. We'll be be looking around in the bargain basement bins for players.

They're still here taking a significant wage when we can't even afford to put the TV on or seed the pitch. Add that to our VERY weak central midfield - when we clearly wanted a central midfield - equates a failure to me (I don't recalling talking of a disaster?). Agreed regarding everything else you've said. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those who has the ability but just has no desire to do it week in week out , will have little spells where he does ok. He looks like a football , fairly neat and tidy. , tall, ok pace , can pass but all when he can be bothered ie once a flood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see any logic in playing Coventry, Dobson and Bakinson together in midfield as all 3 like to play that deep laying holding midfielder role and don't complement each other well. Don't think We missed out on Ladapo in this last window as well. Beadle, Poveda and Ugbo are all good players that improve Us. Shame that neither of them is a long term solution as they all look like they have quality We need but are here on short term deals. Biggest failure last window is that We failed to strengthen in central midfield and are still lacking composed, experienced head at the back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 It will take several windows to sort out this squad. A lot depends if we can have some real stability in the managers seat. If Röhl stays I very much doubt we’ll sign many players over 25. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy I work with often is a Charlton season ticket holder Text him when they'd signed Bakinson and told him he was dogger, he was like oh great After he'd had a decent debut for them he text me saying he's decent what you on about Then I saw him at a wedding last week and we got talking, his words Sorry mate, he's terrible, everyone we bought in January is poo - I can't understand why we let Appleton buy these players and then sack him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
