Jacko hoped to start Fraser earlier

Johnnie Jackson had hoped to get Scott Fraser on the pitch earlier yesterday.   He also said that Corey Blackett-Taylor made the right decision in deciding to come off: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-boss-reveals-sub-switch-and-provides-injury-update-on-corey-blackett-taylor/

Jacko is taking a 'one game at a time' approach to reaching the play offs: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/boring-for-you-guys-charlton-athletic-boss-johnnie-jackson-on-whether-they-can-still-make-play-offs/

I doubt whether it is possible, although four points from the next two tough away games would be a boost.

Doughty loan back off

Richard Cawley of the SLP reports: 'Sounds like Alfie Doughty's move to Stoke should be announced at some point today.  It won't be a loan back as rehab on his injury is going to take a bit longer than expected.'

'It opens up another loan slot for Charlton, they are chasing at least two signings before the end of the window.'

'Charlton are still working on getting a player in before Saturday's match against Swindon Town.  The deal Lee Bowyer spoke about from earlier in week is still in play.'

If this means Joel Randall from Exeter, I have mixed feelings.  Of course, Bowyer and Gallen are better judges of a player than I am.   But £1m seems a lot for a player whose main experience is with Tiverton Town.    I suppose our situation justifies taking a risk.

Cawley has also stated that rumours about Scott Fraser at MK Dons being a target for Charlton are not true.  He would not be affordable within the salary cap.
