Are we faffing about though? That is just an assumption because we haven’t signed a Charles replacement immediately. There are all kinds of reasons that hasn’t happened. Isn’t it more likely that other clubs are waiting to see what happens with their own targets before they release players? Or maybe the players themselves are waiting to see if better options come along? Sadly the nature of the transfer window means that the further down the food chain you are, the harder it is to do the business that you would like to do when you would like to do it. Yes, it is possible that Spors and his staff are sitting on their hands waiting for the last few days of the window to get busy. I think it is more likely that the phones are ringing off the hook and red hot with texts and emails while us and everyone else in the football world are trying to get their ducks in a row before the window slams shut.

Perhaps wait until the transfer window slams shut before you slag off the business in this window? Surely it is better to get the main target in, even if we have to wait a while?

Quite a big thing actually but this is a feather in the cap for the London mayor and other progressives who have fought for ULEZ. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/18/ulez-better-lung-size-function-london-children

Dating the wrong women??

My point wasn’t about the circumstances of Charles leaving. It was that some said that the Downes/Bragg pairing would be fine.

And yet many posters had no problem with Charles leaving and we more than happy with a Downes/Bragg starting pair? The problem today apart from the brain farts from Stephens and Manning was the lack of Jander…oh and the dreadful state of our crosses into the box.

Yep, Downes was on it today. Larin coming off didn’t help but THB should really be putting that chance away. Gifted them the win but we really should have imposed ourselves more in the first half when they just bullied us and it worked.

As someone else said earlier, we started well but they kicked everything that moved and from then on we have been second best. Two poor goals to give away and they always look a threat on the break. Eckhert will need to earn his wages big time in the half time team talk.

He did hoof it though, that was the problem. He hoofed it the wrong way.

Stephens does what Stephens does too frequently.

This might be controversial but the away kit doesn’t look too bad live

Can you imagine the meltdown if THB’s name is missing from the team sheet today? He will go or he will stay, but no amount of fretting on an internet forum will change anything so why not enjoy this long hot summer while you can instead of posting the same old nonsense day after day. If he goes life will go on, trust me.

I believe his daughter is only around 8 months old so that is a fair point. He isn’t going anywhere for the kind of money being quoted so far anyway though.

The trouble with him is that he also does tend to lose or give the ball away in dangerous areas. Something else he needs to work on.

He knows he needs one and has said, in effect, that we will replace the likes of Stewart and Charles if and when they go.
