champions, parky wins league 1 manager of the year, Dickson finishes top scorer with 29 goals (just beating Burton's 27) and we break the 100 point barrier with a fantastic League/Johnstone's Paint Trophy double !!!!
Promoted by Feb.
We will walk this league, its crap, we shouldn't even be in it.
(I've had a liquid lunch but I'm prepared to stand by my words for the rest of today at least)
Your right in a way we shouldnt be in this league however never underestimate certain teams in this league this league if anything will be more physical than the Champ. Watch out ha ha

Whatever you've just drunk/sniffed/injected Elthamaddick, can I have some please
Champion teams win by dominating the key areas. That means between the sticks and in midfield. In Rob Elliott, Charlton have a capable 'keeper and one who will surely grow with the responsibility of being his team's (and remember, it is his team) number one. And in midfield, Charlton will dominate, home and away, with either four-man or five-man midfields: the current incumbents, Sam, Bailey, Racon, Spring, Semedo, Shelvey and Wagstaff surely represent the best wide, central, defensive and attacking midfield options of any club in the division.
Yes, I want Charlton to win the league. And, based on the above, I expect them to.
Well yes based on the above we should win the league but realistically what teams can you look at that will cause us problems.
There is many teams lets start with Leeds home and away both difficult fixtures.
Also think of the Northern teams their fans will prob have a whole weekend of it down our way (i target Tramere here) not only will their fans relish the chance to play a once prem team but think of the players.
Dont underestimate this league will not be a walk in the park even with a full strength squad teams like Tramere dont play attractive football but they're hard as nails
I predict we finish mid table and still no word on the impending takeover, we are still in a period of consultation and unable to comment, says Murray at the last game of the season press conference.
Steve im with you on the take over part of that cant se it happening any time soon if it does so im going to try and forget about the TO for now and concentrate on whats on the field
I have seen quite a lot of league one through my work over recent years, and as long as you get a decent start and keep the current squad reasonably injury free. Then you'll be promoted I'd say almost certainly, so with a couple of proviso's I'd be pretty confident you'll do a leicester rather than a leeds.
All the talk about the league being more physical than championship is nonsense though. Particulary in defence and attack Championship players are generally far bigger and far quicker.
Much of the league one football I have seen has been utter dross, and when you see a player (particulary in midfield) that can do a bit he usually stands out.
Its interesting that most of the teams that have come out of league one in to the championship and have done well, are very good footballing sides rather than obsessed with long ball tactics. Bristol City, Doncaster, Luton (when they came up), Preston all came up playing very good football, and being honest CAFC finished the season playing pretty well.
Still what do I know I'm just a stripey nigel! ;-)
you're too kind sos ... we'll do well to make the play offs if the non inspiring parky is here all season.... but if we went for the goat option we'd stand a chance if we kept this squad

For me: first place.
