I seriously think we'll win the league, we're second favourites with most of the bookies behind Sheffield United who are only first because they are deemed to be the biggest club in the league. Despite selling our best players we still have a lot of quality in our squad.

Im with you on this; my pint is half full as opposed to half empty. A positive start is crucial to banish last season. I am in full support of CARD but am pleased there will be no first game protest as the team need full backing.

Long live the protests. So looking forward to wearing the protest shirt to a game when it arrives. Got the CARD hoody but this is somehow more matchday attire. As for the football. Not a hope in hell's chance of promotion. Had a great day at Hull seeing the funny side of it all. Sadly Henderson never recovered and he's now history. We'd probably dream of that squad this season
CHARLTON: Henderson, Solly, Johnson, Lennon, Williams (Fox 59), Cousins, Poyet (Vaz Te 81), Jackson, Gudmundsson, Vetokele (Umerah 66), Harriott
14th. Nowhere near top nor bottom. A dire season. Slade will lose patience and quit after Christmas, and we will be back to Belgian losers after that.
I'm inclined to say 10th, but with roughly the same reasoning. I don't think we're going to bring in players of sufficient quality to get us promoted, in part due to lack of spending and in part due to lack of imagination.
There should be enough in the team now to finish mid table, maybe higher when everyone is fit. Looking around the division there are a lot of decent teams, but I don't think the standard will be very high this year. I'm not entirely convinced by Slade as a coach yet, and I don't know if inconsistent players like Harriott, Ba, THD, and Ceballos will improve under him. I'd loved to be proved wrong, and if Slade can get something out of those on the fringes then I think we're going to have an excellent season, but if not, it's going to be incredibly boring.
This season will finish about 13:50 on 30/04/17, I'm confident about that. Charlton's season will be effectively over by 28 February as 2 points from the 6 games since the transfer window closed prove the new manager (insert name here:-----) still has nothing like the resources required to keep head above water in the division and the most likely outcome is a 2nd successive relegation; this time with a record low points tally; played out in front of record low attendances, by a dispirited squad of the remaining academy players not flogged off cheaply in January's fire sale, plus occasional cameos by a solemn Johnnie Jackson and a hobbling Chris Solly; the only sounds in the Valley the delirious catcalls of the grateful visiting supporters and the tumult from Floyd Road as the ever larger, louder and more vitriolic protests rage on outside the hastily installed barricades now skirting the premises boundary. Keep smilin'
I got caught up in the con. I thought Roland was investing enough to get us back up. I realise now the stupidity of falling for it. I don't blame myself, it was wishful thinking. But now I realise, bottom half isn't just realistic, it's incredibly likely.
I think there's enough dross to stave off relegation for a year or two, but if Roland doesn't go before the end of the decade, we will be a fourth division team - or worse.
I'm going for 15th this season. Slade to quit by Christmas. I truly hope I'm proved wrong by a flurry of signings in the next few days.
We might be mid-table for a while, then the wafer-thinness of our squad will hit us hard. With the 60% fair play rule, and our wage bill being hit by having to pay the wages of Watt Tex and Sarr, we'll slide into a relegation scrap.

Realistically we will get 8 more league 1 wannabe's who are semi to incapable and then we'll finish 18th to 21st.
The 2016/7 Sky Bet League 1 season will see Bolton, MK Dons and the mighty Charlton drop down from the Championship
