nah, as sad as it is, I can see the franchise getting to the championship in short order. Warne is a very good manager (sadly) and if they are signing pretty much whoever the fuck they want (by lower league standards) then it’s only a matter of time. All I ask is that we are in the same...

Armando Junior Quitirna (winger) just signed from Crawley. Can't remember him personally, so no idea if he's any good or not, but at least on their forum CTFC fans seem sorry he's gone.

*doh - duplicate post deleted*

Yeah, don’t think I ever saw him play to be honest (not even in The Tinpot). Surprised you haven’t re-signed Hartridge, I doubt he’ll get a sniff with us. I guess he’ll go out on loan somewhere otherwise. Sonny Bradley, who did very well on loan to us last season, has just signed for Lincoln...

we make our first signing of the window - James Tilley from AFCW. Not really sure what to make of that one.

Brandon Hanlan went to Doncaster in the end. Fair enough and good luck to the lad, he was OK but I wasn’t that worried that we loaned him out last season and it was obvious he wasn’t coming back.

Yeah, they did. But in Simons’ case at least, by the time he reached us we’d started to turn into this really weird, uber-negative and defensive side - which we weren’t with Morley. I can imagine that Schumacher will play a lot more attacking football, which will suit Simons better.

Mixed bag for us to be honest, but we were a team in transition when he came in - trying to change too much at once. Looked good in spells, so if he can up his consistency you've got a player, but he wasn't on it every game. Morley was a lot better for us.

In fairness to Hanlan we played him more as a winger than an out and out striker. He’s more of a footballer than Loft (a low benchmark I know) but then Loft would get the kind of goal that only lumps get, so it’s swings and roundabouts. But I can’t pretend I was devastated to see Hanlan go...

Yes (other than departures) but contracts don't even run out till the end of the month, so not worried. Looks like a bunch of clubs are in for Brandon Hanlan (Vale, Donny, Cobblers). I think he'd be a decent signing. On his day, he's unplayable...just that that day only comes around one game...

They pulled a Wycombe - off to a flyer (though they were even more flying than we were) and choked abysmally in the second half. At least they made the final I suppose. Congratulations to AFCW, least it's not another bloody Northern team.

As much as Jones is a dick and I’m glad to be shot of him, congratulations to Charlton after years of punching below their weight, dodgy owners, etc etc. Credit to Orient too, with a new sugar daddy and a reinforced squad then they could be a solid bet for another promotion shot next season.

I doubt it. It's not his fault, he's barely had a sniff of a chance with us, which is probably unfair as he's not really had time to settle into the team. But when he *has* come on, he hasn't looked very good, and he's been sent off twice (2 yellows rather than straight red, but still). I...

We've only just announced our retained/release list. I feel like Vokes has been so injury-prone in his last couple of seasons that he may yet hang up his boots, but nothing has been announced. Don't know why we're getting rid of Kieran Sadlier as he has been decent but it may be an injury...

Yeah, that’s on Dodds really, we’ve been playing him as a target man and expecting him to win aerial duels against monster centre backs - when that’s not really him. In the first half of the season, our wingers were pushing forwards a lot more and he had other players to play off, and we could...

I will be backing Charlton to win in the final, if only because: 1) Orient’s my local team, it’s great to have a ground I can get to in under 30 mins 2) can’t fking stand Nathan Jones, he clearly hasn’t done anything to me personally but he’s one of those types like a Martin Allen where you...

Fine margins overall, Charlton took their chance, we didn’t, end of story. Roll on next season.

Yep, shocking game so far, even worse than the first leg. Charlton’s attacking play has been better when they get it in the final third though.

Charlton-Orient final then. Commiserations Stockport.

Well we haven't been helped by Ipswich coming straight back down to the Championship. I think Humphries is possibly more a "good L1 level" than he is "gunning for promotion in the Championship" level player. That said, Ipswich have put out a piece on how well he's done on loan for us, and I...
