I am uncertain as to who will initially be playing as right wing back. I assumed that Ramsay would start as he has a good engine and positive attacking qualities and him and Small would be a positive wing back combo. But he has played more on the right side of the back three with Watson playing the advanced role. I hope to be proved wrong but I just can’t see Watson cutting the mustard given that in block G we had ample opportunity of seeing Watson for most of last season. As a full back but not often as a wing back. |

I am happy to read a different point of view, but I think Coventry and Taylor are very similar indeed, but I would right now pick Taylor over Coventry because he has rather more experience playing in first teams, and for me he is a better set piece taker.
I don’t see either player as talismanic, with the tackling back, getting team mates out of trouble, or the sheer work rate of George Dobson.
If either of them play, it seems to me they would need a ‘water carrier’ to do the donkey work along side them.

Jones Mitchell and Gilly look a good three in pre season and have settled in together well Rubbish. Need a leader and while I prefer them to Hector and Thomas I think they are vulnerable when put under pressure. I am wondering if NJ was referring to Gillesphey and or REG when he talked about players not getting much game time and needing to move to another club…..neither were his signings and both were overlooked for Thomas and Hector last season when NJ clearly didn’t fancy either… NJ has already gone on record saying we are actively looking for a new LCB and if I was Gillesphey I think that would make me a little unsettled |

How many goals has Ramsey scored? And how many has Watson? If we need to share the goals around without May, who is the better option at wing back? |

Surely the better question is who can do both ( being forward and the back) we did last year and continue in PS to not keep clean sheets. We can't forget that thr wing back has defensive duties and Watson struggled last year. |

Probably the best water carrier of them all hence his nickname being just that. |

The type of player we need who immediately springs to mind is a Nicky Bailey type player. Aggressive and gets up and down the pitch.
Wouldn't mind another Ricky Holmes either. Closest we'll get there is Nicky Cadden who is unbelievably still a free agent!

Jones Mitchell and Gilly look a good three in pre season and have settled in together well Rubbish. Need a leader and while I prefer them to Hector and Thomas I think they are vulnerable when put under pressure. I agree, maybe a Potts type. My opinions of our centre back options are: Mitchell - is young but even so still has a lot of games under his belt, but still learning, but i am liking what i am seeing so far. Gillesphey - has had some injury issues (but hey he wouldnt' be a charlton player if he didn't). Can pull a decent tackle out now and then but think he needs a run. Jones - I had such high hopes for him when he signed. I'm still not sure about him to be honest, i'm not confident with him at the moment. Not making him a scapegoat at all, i just was expecting more. Hopefully this season he cracks on. Edmonds-Green - Sometimes he does good and then sometimes i wonder what he is doing. I do kinda agree with others that maybe he is more a DCM than a centre back. Ness - really not sure whats happened with him. When he first came on the scene i was so impressed. He then got that injury and not been the same since. Not including Ramsay, Small and Edwards in this "opinion", because in my mind they should be full backs, getting forward when they can, leaving the remaining 3 to defend with the support of s DCM. But this is because i prefer a back four to 3 centre backs. I just think 3 CBs get in each others way. |

Yeah this is pretty much how I see it…..Mitchell aside it is not exactly a glowing report of our current defensive personnel…… |

It's going to take him half a season to adapt to the level but he's going to be one he'll of a prospect once up to speed. |

In terms of attacking midfielder I know its been said apparently the recruitment team dont fancy keillor-dunn but what about Ethan Chislett from Port Vale only 25 a year left on his contract and now league 2 with port vale so surely we could get at a reasonable price
Stats the last couple of years
Wimbledon 22/23 in league 2 - 44 games 9 Goals 3 Assists
Port Vale 23/24 in league 1 - 43 games 9 Goals 7 Assists

Panuche Camara (a fit version) Full of energy but no goals in him. The very little we did see of him, it was evident his end product was poor. We do miss someone who can break the lines with rangey runs… remember aribo wriggling out of tackles and breaking away. Invaluable! |

Is anyone concerned by the lack of games we’ve played this preseason? Seems that all the clubs in our league have had loads?

Probably more concerned that the actual first eleven planned for Wigan will only get the Pompey game to gain some cohesion…..I was really surprised at the lack of game time that Small, Ramsay and Adhadme got at Wimbledon…. Hoping that Potts plays on Saturday and signs for us before Wigan…. |

It doesn’t seem like we’ve played many minutes this pre-season with all the subs for pretty much every game. |

It doesn’t seem like we’ve played many minutes this pre-season with all the subs for pretty much every game. I remember thinking something similar last summer. Maybe this is the new, modern, way to get players most ready for the start of the season - although we started badly last year. |

Is anyone concerned by the lack of games we’ve played this preseason? Seems that all the clubs in our league have had loads? Oh, my giddy Aunt! Let's look at this season compared to last, shall we? Last year we played (at least) 3 non league sides. Welling, we lost one of our best players, to a horrible tackle from a triallist, against Dartford a triallist got sent off for throwing a punch at Fraser, and we had a decent run out against Wealdstone. Look at how our season started. Within 6 games our manager had been sacked. This year we have played Dartford, (which is part of our agreement to allow our U21s to play at Princes Park) and all our other games have been against League opposition. In fact, only one has been against lower League opposition (Wimbledon). All the others have been against higher League opposition (Millwall, Palace, and Portsmouth on Saturday). Do you think that NJ has learnt more, or less, from seeing how we can play against teams who we COULD be playing against NEXT season, than a bunch of gung-ho postmen, bakers, candlestick makers etc who are desperately trying to make a name for themselves? Also, what are the chances of picking up injuries, playing MORE games with under cooked players? I'm sure NJ knows more about the capability of his players after the games this season, than he would have playing more games against local semi-pro sides, looking to make a name for themselves! |
