Was a guest of Lee Power in the directors box at Swindon when they played Donny one time. MY cousin is marrIed to Tim Sherwood and they are mates from their Norwich days.Think he is from Lewisham and did play for us I believe
Lee Power played in the first match back at The Valley. Unlike a certain Alan Pardew 🤣
I reckon the team will duly oblige - although it would be very 'Charlton' to get a result in a competition where, relative to our league stats, we have one of the worst records of the 92 league clubs.
Presume losing to Wycombe in QF (2005 or 2006?) is the furthest we’ve progressed.

Yes, to the best of my knowledge anyway.
Pls no-one mention that Wycombe game. At least when we lost 7-1 away at Luton, they were still fit to wear the shirt...
Macaulay Bonne Bonne Bonne. Who needs a takeover? Paul Elliot/t's Red and White Army
reading this in the way it was attended (as a joke) still makes me angry as this guy thinks he owns us and is holding us back. This is a whinge at Elliot and not the post!!
For a first division team, we are playing some really good football. Even if LB can't add to this squad, there's more than enough here to ensure we are competitive this coming season. Add some players to the squad and we must be pushing for the top six.
Only problem I can see is a lack of goals. Again. Can only hope Aneke, Gilbey & Washington can provide some.
Oztumer can be a key player for us if he gets a fair crack of the whip.
Finally, let's not go overboard about young Barker but in Tuesdays game against Wimbledon and today, he hasn't put a foot wrong and seems so comfortable - in fact a lot more assured than Oshilaja. He certainly won't let us down if he starts the season.
Barker is the son of former assistant Richie Barker, was it his father who brought him to us? It's not as if Richie was with us for a long time, he was only here for 6 months

Be curious to see if this Swindon performance is purely because they dont care but then just treat it like a Pre-Season friendly like we are?
Just a shame for them the ball went straight out of play
Would argue if we've got more quality or if its just that Swindon care even less about this competition
Lapslie and Barker are my standouts for the half!! - Vennings isnt doing too badly either
Oztumer should definitely show his worth at this level
Aneke will carve through this Swindon defence like they're wet paper if he comes on!!

Whoever we'd face in the Second, potentially Third Round will be good chances for Bowyer to assess any new signings without the result caring so much
Werent expecting that last bit were you
