I've just remembered a thought that I had going into injury time tonight, I looked up into that inky black sky and said "come on B4 give us a hand", you didn't let us down, mate.🐏

The EFL and football leagues around the world have, for over a 100 years, decided that 46 games or less have been enough games to fairly decide who is good enough to win championships, gain promotions or bad enough to suffer relegations. 
At the end of the day, football league tables are just statistics and these are the statistics that decide where we play next season. What do you suggest, each season to last 5 or 6 years and 2 or 3 hundred matches, so we know who's truly the best and worst and who really deserves promotion and relegation?

CBT doesn't need to 'replace' anyone, football is now a team game consisting of 15 outfield players playing over around 100 minutes. Ideally, we could do with one front line starting and another front line on the bench, ready to come on against a tiring defence. This already seems to be in Warne's plans as our subs have scored more goals than any other lg1 team this season, CBT will only improve these 15 players.

4 if you include Wilson when Nyambe returns.

Blackett-Taylor, Mendez-Laing and Barkhuizen all rotating and chipping in with goals and assists will be a game changer for us in this 2nd half of the season. It allows us to keep them all fresh and shouldn't have big dips in form (which often comes from fatigue). We also have Wilson terrifying full backs. Good options  to have.

What about having all 3 games at Wembley, on the same day, with a 15 minute break between matches, an even better plan?😁

3 quality wide players in the match day squad, means one comes on 60-65 mins and is a nightmare for defenders. Hope we keep Barks, he is a confidence player and his recent goals will boost him.

Great news! Hope he kicks on now and settles into the side, scores a bag load of goals, and signs on the permanent in the summer 😎

Not such a daft idea at all in my opinion. You should be rewarded for your exploits over 46 games.
You could have a formula worked out whereby you have a 1 goal advantage for finishing 1 to 4 points ahead of your opposition, 2 goals for 5 to 8 and 3 goals for anything more than that.
It would maintain interest right to the end of the season because every point is valuable, target than making the playoffs and resting players, when they autos are out of reach.

I agree. I remember a fair few fans wanting to "bin" Curtis Nelson after the first three home games, but they don't seem to have learnt anything from that episode either.

Teams were always doing this against us last season and I hated it, but if you can't beat them, join them.
Personally, whenever there is an 'injury' and the physio comes on to treat the player, I would make the rest of the players go to the centre circle and allow a young 'waterboy' on to the pitch with bottles of water. Although, it wouldn't stop the break up of play, it would help to stop the tactical team talks with the manager.

That's the problem with not been allowed to pay a fee, last January we weren't allowed to spend 20p never mind £20k on a player. That stopped us from buying any player showing promise that was under contract, which is everyone in January, unless there's a mutual agreement to cancel the contract.

The table does suggest we're getting better players than them

or...
We're keeping our powder dry. Why pay more than we need to for a player that's out of contract at the end of the season? 
When buying a house do you immediately go in at asking price?
and Burton fish in a different pool than we do - I don't think we've ever been both linked for the same player at the same time...

I think the fee is likely be shy of £600k but would make sense for Charlton to pack out the deal with future incentives, like a bank offering high interest rates.
Derby will probably throw £300-400k into the deal following promotion and not think twice, rather than pay that upfront now. If I was Charlton I’d be quite content with £300k upfront with a following £300-400k add ons for a player with one foot out the door.
