It’s preseason... Charlton also fielded a team the night before that lost to Ebbsfleet. So it was hardly their kids we were playing against.

As for the kit, maybe this is like Huddersfield and it’s all one big wind up building up to the actual kit launch!

Think we need to hold off on the Wilkinson talk for a bit, understand where people are coming from, but it’s just as easy to say Shamir Mullings too. Big difference between Wilkinson and Quigley when they both joined was that Wilkinson was a reject coming down 2 levels to us. Whereas Quigley has bee...

This is a weird one to be offering a 2 year deal to. Doesn’t fill me with hope at all.

Happier than a pig in shit with this one. Massive signing for us that shows we’re really serious. Shame about the 1 year deal though. Agree that we need one more striker, I also think we need another CB. It doesn’t seem like we have any cover if we’re going to play 3 at the back, which we probably w...

Personally find that hard to believe when we signed Rob Edmans whilst he had a broken leg. Always assumed fitness tests now were to find deeper issues in players that can’t necessarily be healed.

If we keep him fit then it looks like a decent signing. As does this right back that we signed. Agree that at least one more CB and a striker is needed. Given up hope that we will be getting Onariase back though, seems to be taking too long.

Would like to think that if it’s signings they have came over to complete then they might be quite big ones. Big centreback ones from Wolves and Rotherham.

Not someone I know much about or think we needed, but his background doesn’t seem bad at all. 4 more signings needed now IMO.

Looks like we’re lining up to play a 1-8-1 formation next year. Any chance of a few defenders now?

Seems like a goal scoring midfielder which is good to see! Signed for Sutton in January and scored 2 goals in 18 apps. Can’t say I remember him from last season but Sutton aren’t a bad side to be nicking players off of.

Not sure if this is a 20+ striker that we need, but definitely a step in the right direction.

Don’t think anyone doesn’t consider us a selling club, but more to teams like Peterborough not Orient! I don’t have any ill feelings towards Thommo, or Wilkinson, seems like our hands were tied which is very disappointing that we couldn’t get ourselves into a better position when we offered him an e...

And there’s you implying that other people’s reactions to Wilkinson leaving is over the top!

So off of the back of this, is there any 20+ a season striker that is available right now?

I’m actually lost for words on seeing the figures thrown around on twitter with this. Classic Dagenham if so where he has gone for less than £50k it seems!! I’m glad we have these new owners and the direction we were (emphasis on were) heading in. But this has been a shit show of a day. Lost our col...
