I trust Jones' judgement, particularly at this level. He knows what he's doing.Another exciting signing you say, keep taking the tablets mate......please.
If we don't go up this season, I'll give £100 to a charity of your choice.

I was not happy with May going but I think Godden and Ahadme are decent strikers at League one level and the owners have paid out a bit of money. Ahadme scored two at the Valley last season and looked excellent.
Steady on old chap! I’m normally the one with rose tinted glasses- I’m hoping for a top six at the best and won’t be disappointed if we don’t go up as long as the footy improves
That's what is known as the Ponders Effect.
Just don't get me started on politics.
We will go up and that's that.Steady on old chap! I’m normally the one with rose tinted glasses- I’m hoping for a top six at the best and won’t be disappointed if we don’t go up as long as the footy improves
In NJ I trust.
All good thanks Ponders. Still doing my bit for local wildlife, like your good self.
You can judge the worth of a human being by how they treat animals.
Good news that Nathan Jones has landed his two transfer targets.
He’s managing upwards by publicly thanking the owners - they have just sold a 20 goal a season banker for £750,000
It’s beyond laughable to see certain people still pretending the club is discussing transfer targets with them . Embarrassing stuff.

Split it three ways, Alzheimers, Epilepsy and the BHF.
They will be very grateful receiving your donation tomorrow mate.
Doh!
I consider us to be in the new season, seeing as the players are back in training.
I realise that Mr Ponders, these wonderful charities need your money, so why wait for the inevitable?
I agree - they do need my money. Once we go up, I may just donate anyway, as a sort of celebratory gesture. I'm that type of guy.I realise that Mr Ponders, these wonderful charities need your money, so why wait for the inevitable?
Charlton Athletic are delighted to confirm the signing of midfielder Greg Docherty.
The 27-year-old joins the Addicks following a four-year spell at Hull City, where he made 143 appearances and lifted the Sky Bet League One title during his debut season with the Tigers.
Docherty has put pen to paper on a three-year deal, with a club option of an additional year, to become Charlton’s seventh signing of the summer.
Manager Nathan Jones commented: “We’re really delighted to get this signing over the line, he’s someone we’ve been chasing for a long time, all through the summer. He’s a player that has been promoted from this league and has been a Championship player for a long period of time. He has real pedigree as a person, an athlete and a player.
“He’s someone that we’re really thrilled to have acquired, again we’ve had to beat off a lot of opposition for his signature. He’ll add real competition, real strength, real leadership qualities to the team and there is big scope for him to develop and move forward with us.”
Technical Director Andy Scott added: “Greg is a player who we have had a strong interest in since we came to the club and the fact that we have managed to secure his signature with the options he had is really pleasing.
“He’s a player with lots of different qualities and is ideally suited to Nathan’s style. We’ve all worked very hard to get this over the line and Greg adds another very strong midfield option, bringing quality on the ball, tenacity, leadership, outstanding professionalism and game understanding to the group.
“We look forward to seeing him in a Charlton shirt and I’m sure he’ll quickly become a fans’ favourite.”
Born in Milngavie, Scotland, Docherty began his career at Hamilton Academical and progressed through the academy ranks to sign his first professional deal aged 16.
In December 2013, he made his senior debut against Alloa Athletic at the age of just 17.
The Scot would go on to make 108 appearances for the Accies prior to earning a move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers in January 2018.
He featured 14 times for Rangers in the latter half of the 2017/18 campaign before moving to Sky Bet League One side Shrewsbury Town on loan.
The midfielder netted 10 goals and registered 11 assists during a hugely-successful season with the Shrews, culminating in him being named as the club’s Player of the Year.
Upon his return to Rangers, Docherty made a further five appearances in the Scottish League Cup and Europa League qualifying rounds prior to joining Hibernian on loan in January 2020.
He immediately impressed at Easter Road, contributing three goals and five assists during the Coronavirus-hit campaign.
Docherty completed a permanent move to Hull City in the summer of 2020 and quickly established himself as a fans’ favourite after starring in the Tigers’ Sky Bet League One title-winning campaign.
He featured 41 times across all competitions during the following season as Hull retained their second-tier status.
The former Scotland youth international continued his influence in 2022/23, making 36 appearances and scoring the Tigers’ Goal of the Season in a 3-1 triumph at Blackpool.
Docherty arrives at The Valley having played a role last season for Hull, who missed out on the Sky Bet Championship play-off places on the final day.

This signing suggests to me that Dobson coming back is unlikely.
Docherty looks an upgrade on Dobson on paper - all our signings look better than previous windows - things are on the up mate
