The good thing about Slade and his Coaches is that they have identified the chaff very early and have either got rid ie Reza, Tucudean etc or have loaned out Sarr. They have been trying to get rid of Bergdich and Ceballos for a while, but surprise surprise, no takers. Slade knows exactly what he wants from his squad and that is fitness, togetherness and team spirit.
Charlton hit 9 goals with no reply. Two players get hat tricks. CharltonLife forum goes into meltdown on whether it's a good sign for the coming season or a bad one.

Slade is certainly on the right track. Let's hope he is allowed to continue to manage his way.

Bergdych & Ba were sitting next to me at the POTY "do".
Ba appeared unable to speak English & Bergdych's English wasn't all that.
It MUST make it harder for these lads to join in the togetherness and team spirit.
PS Bergdych asked me why the supporters were demonstrating, he genuinely seemed to have no idea.

Jesus Christ - BA has been in the country for 3 years now and can speak English - that's disgraceful.
Then again, he was in Sunderland for 2 years and they do speak a different language.
Any foreign player ought to be sent off to learn to speak the lingo as soon as the sign for a club in that country. Given its pretty much the most spoken language, you would think he would be bothered to learn it. Tevez was another who never did - mind you given his playing capability you could probably make allowances. BA on the other hand......
We heard that Charlton charged us last season to send a team but I'm sure it's only because of the Belgians.
As an aside I think there's outside bars today. If you use them or the new refurbished Welling bars rather than the Erith bar the money will go to Welling.
Welling have almost a whole new team. Look out for Jonte Smith and Chris Lewington amongst the new players.

For our side, look out for Zak Bergdich - if you see him let him know he should have reported to training a week ago.

If that is Ray Lewington's brother then he's about 55 now, fancy our chances a bit more now
I understand the game is being broadcast on CAFC Player....as I'm at a loose end this afternoon anyone need or want a match thread? It may not be a full blown one but I can do highlights at the very least.

Red, toward the end of last year I started working out while listening to the matches on CAFC Player. It's quite nice, very cathartic in many ways. I always check in at HT and FT, and always appreciate your work, but I think what's most important is you do what you're comfortable with.

Please. I'm going to the game but may just spend the afternoon in the Bar.
Seriously, enjoy another afternoon away from Chaflton mate. In a few weeks time you'll be back to pulling your hair out, and could well look like Bussell Slave by the end of September.
I hope all at Welling will enjoy the kick off of the season. My fellow German Addicks Marc and Kicker will be there. I'm really looking forward seeing the Orient game in 2 weeks. See you over there.
They just did a Facebook live video of the players arriving. Saw CC, hope he gets a run in the team in pre-season at least. I know Dick said they're trying to move him on, but he seems to have the ability. There must be *something* wrong with him, his attitude, his application, or maybe just his injury record. Unlike the soft tissue injuries we had last year, he fractured his foot sticking a boot in on a player about to cross.
Popey and Diarra seemed to be kind enough to stop for everyone wanting pictures and autographs. Have a tremendous amount of time for both of them. For all the talk of JJ being a player coach, I'd absolutely love to see Diarra given the chance after this year. Also think he should be made vice-captain assuming Cousins leaves.

Mate of you feel up for it then I (and I'm sure others) would love a match thread!

Are you sure your your not the club's physio as well
