3 nil and a decent run out for nearly all the players.
Freddie Warren MOTM for what it is worth. Seemed very assured at RB
Wiggins good going forward less so defending.
Green a ball of energy and a great goal
Trailists Andersen and Williams both did well.
Morrison looked very assured and hollands useful.
Can't read too much into it especially as Welling were tired out 2nd half having to play a whole new side but promising signs at least.
Good to meet Tangoflash and a few others. Thanks for the extra shirts to auction Jim, some real classics there.

Went expecting the usual pre- season bore fest but was pleasantly suprised.
Players seemed up for it and got stuck in which is good for friendlies as it instils a winning mentality.
Was most impressed with Bover. Excellent technically, great use of the ball and strong with it.
Was also impressed with Sullivan as was behind our goal and he didnt shut up, barking orders, organising the players in front of him and constantly motivating.
Doherty looked solid and would love it if he can find some form. Now he has competition it might kick him up the backside.
Came away pleased and didnt expect the result or style of play from a group of players still learning each others names.
Good day.
Henry ... Saw you slumming it behind the goal as I sat in the old stand ;-)
Charlton numbers seemed less than usual especially in pub before and after game
Second half especially, evidence of the midfield linking up with our defenders and attack and when we did go long it was usually a long diagonal ball rather than an aimless hump into the channels.
If that's a taste of things to come then it bodes well.
And yes, I know it was only Welling.
Others may disagree but the style seemed to be positive and playings were always looking to find space and although there were the odd cross field passes and hoofs out of defence there was a lot of nice intricate passing at times.
Difference for me from charlton sides of recent seasons is that the players seemed to want the ball and more importantly knew what to do with it when they did and found space/ got into position when they didnt.
Missed todays game as was at Silverstone watching a pretty deflating effort from LH and JB.
Any news on why BWP didnt play?
Does someone we whole gameknow put the teams up for each half. I spent the wholw game trying to work ou who was who
Good workpout will be lots of cmpetion for places but the extra urgency of Green and Solly impressed as well as a couple of others who i'm not sure who they were !
As for the game, whatever !
Guys can someone go down the first names of the charlton players for me first half and subs... Im trying to sort out the highlights and your site just has first names. ta
