For all the improvements and tarting up around The Valley for the new season I've still got a massive complaint about something that's been missing in the top drawer of the Cupboard End:
Where's the lift or escalator to get me up to the back row of Block N?! I swear those steps get steeper and higher each sodding season ...
I do feel for Gillesphey. Turned his game around last season, was excellent December onwards, scored the Wembley winner, dropped for Ding Dong. Harsh that.
Zero surprises in that lineup. Bell ahead of Gillesphey might seen harsh but that additional pace will be very welcome, Apter was always signed to play RWB and I see Olaofe being more of an impact from the bench player than TC. Good to have JRC and Knibbs available from the bench, as well as Berry if we're chasing a goal late on

Plenty of games to play himself back in. No time for sentiment. If he’s good enough, he’ll start games. Either way, isn’t it good to have squad depth and selection dilemmas?

Blimey no room for sentimentality in that selection as Mannion & Gillesphey (in particular) together with Leaburn and Berry find themselves on the bench.
Guess Jones has taken Curbs advice not to be too loyal.
The Docherty haters are going to be annoyed. Starting and captain.
'haters' should be a word that is banished to room 101 but I understand you are just texting in the vernacular.
Many feel Docherty won't be up to it in the Championship; I hope he proves the doubters wrong and I hope TC can prove me wrong and prove Nathan right.
Every Charlton fan should want players to succeed when they wear the shirt even if the player isn't your 1st choice.
My manta remains who is on from 65 odd minutes could be very important for CAFC this season and we have a strong bench with even the 'injured' Mannion and no friendly games, Knibbs and Berry.
This is going to be exciting even for fans who have longevity !
First game my Dad ever took me to at the Valley was v Watford 1980, which started this whole damn love affair, Dad is now watching this from the Memorial Garden COYR!
For those of us who have watched Australian Rules Football over the last 40 years, there's something about seeing the name "Carey" lining up at centre half forward that makes you a bit firm/moist (delete as appropriate) ...

Howard Webb doesnt see it happening too often... Haha... Okay, unless thats because referees wont be consistent penalising it.

Where the hell has the summer gone, doesnt feel long enough since that day out at Wembley.
The driver is now walking through the train to return to London Bridge. Which will take ages as the train is of course packed.
