Stockley reportedly scored more headed goals in 2018 than any player in the top European leagues.[82] He was nicknamed 'the headmaster' at Charlton.[143] In 2021, he said that "there has got to be fast and creative players around me" as he lacks pace, though he can hold the ball up and bring others into play.

CW any rumours as to who the new striker is ?

The youth seemed to have got pretty much battered in every friendly. Not a great sign. On Sasu, where there is space to run into, he is decent but otherwise he really isn't good enough for this league. Too lightweight. Really needs a loan.

The Yoof lost 4-0 at Horley in a game to mark the home clubs 130th anniversary

Sasu scored 2 goals today which is good but otherwise gave a good impression of a headless chicken, surely he has to be sub when the real games start

CW if that’s we probably won’t announce it til next week I guess.

Sasu’s pace for his first goal today was stupendous - a great asset to have for if we find ourselves a goal up but under pressure.

We have apparently signed a new striker today, one who played against us in league 1 last season

So the fact he took sasu off to stop him getting injured makes me think there is no new striker coming in and we will start the season with what we have.

Charlton seem like idiots to be honest

Love that Aron Sasu

Maybe we're putting Sasu in the wrong place?

Sasu again!

Sasu i take it all back!

2-0

Exiled - it’s a rumour that’s been doing the rounds. That Charlton want to sell Kanu rather than loan him out but they want £1m for him (which they won’t get) so the thinking is that he’ll go on loan anyway just later in the window.

Smith. Shot. Miss.

No shots so far. Sasu cannot hold on to the ball. Certainly need a couple of forwards.

Is the clock wrong by an hour?

Where does it say Charlton want £1 million for Kanu ?

1 down.

Trying to stay awake. An absorbing game so far.

Isn't there no more £25 dons tv anymore?

Back in the 70s keepers didn't wear gloves but somehow managed to catch the ball even in the rain. Modern keepers punch by default despite gloves that would look the part in a baseball match.
