Not feeling enitirely confident as Pardew coming back, but i have still backed a charlton win on basis of our form 6 from 6 and theirs 4 draws & a lose. so surely we cannot let this be a bannana skin in our current season, COME ON YOU REDS!
Waiting for that kick in the teeth that as charlton fans we have come to expect, still think we've got too much for Southampton thou, all players being fit we should win this one and by a margin, if we pick up some late injuries I'd be a little apprehensive
2-0 Racon & Sam. Unchanged side and electric atmosphere hoping for highest gate of the season. Everyone back from holi bobs and a gate of around 19 - 20k. Would love us to stuff them but can see it being a tight game until they tire and allow our Midfield to start tearing them apart.
Potential Coupon buster I know, but who in their right mind footballing wise can actually expect the team top of the league with a 100% record lose to the team bottom of the league at home? Do not underestimate the fact that he was not particularly well liked by the players either & I think a few of our players will have a point to prove to him, just as much as anything he has to prove to us, can see us winning this but no doubt it will be tight game.
Much depends on Bailey and Racon being fit. If they are I think this may prove a tougher task than their league position suggests but everyone will be up for this and we will win 2-0.
I have gone for a saints win, but then I have said the same for every game we have played so not going to change that. I think their manager deserves a bit of luck as they don't seem to have had the rub of the green this season, poor things.
That is if you want to believe the know nothing fuckwit who manages them now!
Depends on the nature of any or if we have changes. We need to be icy and remember we have won matches by getting and keeping possession...we must not panic, and must try to be as clinical as possible all over the pitch. We are in better form than them, so be ourselves and they will have to be damn good to have any success, taste revenge cold.

See a 0-1 defeat but with us dominating - Lambert will get one chance and score.
Same team again though.
Hope i'm proved wrong
Pardew will get a little bit of abuse.
He will not be too bothered about it
We can then all move on.
Plenty of abuse for Pardew and our first 20k+ crowd of the season (2k from Saints)
Southampton will finish the game with 9 men
It will be the ballboys fault Southampton lost
Pardew will get the worst abuse ever witnessed at the Valley non stop for 90 minutes + injury time (I hope)
voted win, head and heart
I suspect Saints will pack the defence and try and frustrate us and catch us on the break.
Nevertheless a home win, I don't care how it happens, but win.
If we concentrate on playing the Football we have been playing, this could be a rout.
4-1
Well, let's hope you're bloody wrong, then ......!!!
;o)
I fancy us to win 3-1 Shelvey, Sam and Llera and Pardew to be sent off and sacked after the game.
However I will be absolutely delighted to be proved wrong, something I've also written every game except Wycombe.
Superstition is now creeping into my predictions!
