    06:30 start for me but it’ll be good to see our heroes take to the field at any time of the day. 
    Hope it’s a way less feisty affair than witnessed at St Andrew’s last night! Wonder what action the FA might take if any? Hopefully a points deduction for the vile supporters of Brummyland!

    Right, breakfast and then hit the A11/M11. Will give a wave to any lovely lions who we pass coming the other way to Norwich this morning. COYRs!!

    On the 6-30 train from Shrewsbury , the carriage is full of Wrexham on their way to Southampton. Some good conversations and much praise for the Valley I’m looking forwards to meeting up with my youngest who’s heading across from Bristol. It’s gonna be a great day .

    On a train down to London (sadly not for the game) and saw some Charlton on another carriage, made me very jealous!

    Both our title rivals dropping points last night, time for Charlton to state their ambitions. 

    All aboard! 😉

    Cliche corner:

    "Leave it all out there"
    I remember Gary Lineker taking those words literally!

    "Stay Focused"  
    Should have gone to Specsavers.

    Spread out, run around and smile😀
    A basket case of a manager

    "Be the best version of yourself"
    We are not having Mocha mousse as our 1st team kit.

    "Stepping up to the plate"
    Peter Garland's favourite cliché!

    "Good squad on Paper"
    The pitch is covered with reams of AO.

    "A win is a win"
    No shit Sherlock.

    Charlton 2 Watford 1 Not a cliche but a fact come 2.30.
