    Alexander says we won't be signing a midfielder, which I find staggering.

    We're skint, there's not many more times he can say it. We've been completely misled by Sparks and the "competitive" budget is more likely to actually be around mid table and given the investment in Hughes' huge and disappointing squad we've now got to cut our cloth accordingly and cut costs.

    I agree. We have "enough".

    The question that needs to be asked is not on quantity but rather quality.

    Maybe could mean he's going to try Chapman or Pointon in there though. Let's see the team for Saturday. I think that will tell us a lot about GA.

    I think he might be tempted to go with just the two sitters in there like at Derby until Walker is fit. If so we've got 3 'specialist' (without Walker and Pattison) and a couple of others that could fill in.

    I heard what he said, I've got ears.

    Unfortunately it just didn't get past my bullshit filter.

    Maybe he sees Pattison as a 10 not a central midfielder if so we do have enough quality in the 10 with chapman,Walker & pointon who can play there. Hope that’s his thinking anyways where crying out for a central midfielder

    I dont think people have an issue with Lewis going. If it was in the summer, then fair enough. But this season, he's cost us a lot of points. The issue is how the club moves forward. Signing a 32 year old goalie who's played 50 games in 6 years is shocking recruitment.

    An people can bang on about Lewis not having many games under his belt, but heres the difference. Lewis was still a rookie. He has his whole goalkeeping career ahead of him. He could of been a world beater or a dud, it was a risk but there is a potential for it to work out. Walker on the other hand is a known quantity. Charlton fans arent overly enthusiastic about his appearances. An lets be honest, at 32 years of age, if you are good enough, you arent sitting on the bench at a league one club

    In parks world no manager has ever told a little porky or been guided on what to say by senior officials of football clubs.

    At last BB…..!

    After the Derby performance I’m sure he will stick with the same formation, utiliding the fit personnel available at the moment.

    Which brought us in an ADDITIONAL £100,000 to add to the £1m we got for Lewis;)
