I’d happily trade places with Charltoh wait.
That quote sums it up nicely actually - May is thinking how many goals he can score with Charlton labouring along in 11th place, Harris is hopefully more focussed on promotion.
I know it was against very limited opposition but I watched the Cray Valley v Charlton FA Cup replay and I was left shaking my head at Charlton managing to sign Alfie May for £250k. It was daylight robbery. Im going to show my age now but the way he took his goal reminded me so much of Dalglish back in the day. The speed of thought and clinical finish.
I was also really impressed - again - with midfielder George Dobson. He also stood out against us. I see Charlton’s supporters are getting very twitchy that he hasnt signed his new contract offer. I’d hope he is very much on our radar.
Having said Cray Valley were limited, I was impressed with the left winger Kyrell Lisbie - son of Kevin Lisbie - he definitely had something about him and I can see him getting snapped up by someone in January

Alfie may is class no doubt about it shame we missed out on him but we move on .... A player I liked from those two replay games last week was ( I think his name) John Mcatee

Not John Mcatee, he is at Barnsley, on loan from Luton.
Alfie May was going to Charlton and only Charlton. His family are season ticket holders.

Dobson is the opposition player I've been most impressed with this season, I thought he was excellent at our place. At 26 time isn't exactly running out but if he signs a new deal with Charlton and they continue to underperform then he'll struggle to make the Championship which must be on his mind.
Re: May, £250k was an absolute steal. By all accounts he only wanted to go to Charlton so making out we missed out on some low hanging fruit is silly. Equally silly is saying that we wouldn't want him anyway because they're 11th while we're second with Harris getting there goals. I don't mind Harris but if you offered me a swap I'd snap your hand off and I think most fans would if they were being honest.
And if that isn’t the best gauge of sensible decisions, what is?

I couldn't get to Cheltenham today, so went to AFCW versus Notts County. Saw two forwards that people have mentioned as we look for a forward in January. Langstaff of County Absolutely not. Lazy goalhanger. Can hit the ball, but almost no effort otherwise. A slightly less tubby Cole Stockton. Al Hamadi of AFCW. Yes, please. Extremely quick, physical, great attitude and can finish. Unfortunately Championship clubs are interested . AFCW want £1.5M+.

Left back cover, Leigh out until new year
Matt Penney I think based on the picture on the Number 1 of the advent calendar.
Though he didn't have a beard at Ipswich.
Joe Bennett also available? Not sure on any others.

Good move I'd say , saves breaking up the centre back partnership( Moore and Brown ) and he seems much more in the Leigh mould of full back

Sensible move. Leigh could miss over 10 games and we only have Brown who can play at LB. Means we can move to a back 5 when we need to as well.
Looking at his pedigree I’m impressed, has played a decent level and was in the Championship fairly recently. Hopefully another who is a cut above L1 level. Apparently likes to attack and has good pace
Unlikely to add before January transfer window:
“We’ve got a recruitment meeting next week, where we’ll look at what we can do, but it’ll likely be January and nothing before that,” said Buckingham.

Stokes looking good against Stockport.
Aldershot as a team playing well, very positive play.
With another goal today. Smith hitting one in two for a terrible side despite having to work his way back from injury.
