Alright lads
After reading a few different articles and opinions on you lot recently, I'm undecided on how much of a threat you'll be next season.
Which players are expected to leave? I know you had a few loans, Reid Sodje and Forster stand out, but will the likes of Bailey and Burton be leaving too? I was under the impression that you'd be losing a few key players this summer, so I was a bit surprised to see you 2nd favourites for League One next season behind Southampton...
Up here, we're all confident that with the odd quality signing we can build on this season and get those few extra points to hopefully push for the automatic spots, and we're all agreed on the league being somewhat weaker than it has been this season, the 3 sides going up look far stronger than those coming down, and of the sides still down here, only Brighton look good for a play off push next season, and then there's some other possibilities like Brentford and Colchester, where it really depends on how successful a summer they have.
If I offered you another 4th place finish, would you take it and say it's been a successful season? Because if you offered us another 6th place finish, we'd probably turn it down.
All the best, always been fond of Charlton compared to some of the other tosspots you've got down in the capital!

Good luck to Huddersfield, dunno if it holds true for you given your pre-war dominance, but for us we have played Huddersfield, Middlesborough and Portsmouth more than any other clubs, which probably says a lot about the relative standing of those four clubs.
Incidentally I remember the Ian Greaves Frank Worthington Huddersfield that went up...dunno....35 years ago, now that was a really really good football team.
gotta say if your chairman backs Lee Clark you have agreat chance, we are going take a few years re-building I think.However you need a new Goalkeeper becoz yours was a feckin joke against them w**nkers the other night.If only Swindon had a muppett like him.
Odds are predominantly set according to betting patterns, so if the people make us second favourites, I'm happy to go along with it.

Na, keepers probably the last thing we need. Smithies had another good season and he's still only 19, he's only made 2 mistakes this season, Leeds away and Millwall away, not a coincidence that the young local lad has been feeling the nerves in the biggest games.
Agree with most of what's on here, the only team I see as certainties for an automatic push is Southampton, then there's a load of MAYBES, maybe us and Peterborough could with the right signings and experience, maybe Wednesday and Plymouth could if they sort out their off the field issues, keep their best players and get some improvements in, unlike this time last year when you could pretty much guarentee that the 3 relegated sides would be right up there along with the likes of Millwall and Leeds.
Thankfully for us Lee Clark looks to know where we need to improve, judging by the players we're linked with, and it looks like we've already got a CM lined up from Falkirk, and the £400k+ fee shows that the chairman's not losing faith in him, just like us fans aren't.. strongly believe that the young ambitious manager + experienced backroom staff system will work well.
Nothing really against Southampton other than the fool in charge but am hoping they have one of those seasons and he's gone by Christmas with them languishing in the bottom half. Had a Wet Spam fan telling me in the pub that he'd be happy to have Pardew back, cue drunken ranting for a good 15 mins.
I spoke to my local shamen who insisted you Udders fans will be rewarded with the trials of living in the north with a third place finish this season.
And you can quote him on this certainty
at this momment in time i would not take 4th, but then its hard to predict and judge at the momment
If this Arfield chap adds a bit of bite to your team, you could easily take auto promotion. We hope you pip Soton, though I can't see anything but promotion for you next season.
