Just seen Apples interview I think he is very realistic about where we are and what we aspire to be - short term Tomorrow will be a good test of where we currently are.Last season IMO they were the best team at the Valley Shame about Chucks but we still have enough in squad to be top 6 - we shall see COYR
Reckon we’ll have a good go at them. Appleton was mightily pissed off Tuesday so will hopefully demand a fast start. Whether we can maintain it and keep them out the other end, I don’t know. Don’t think we’re the full ticket yet. Better than last season but still not top 6 material.
Tedic truly second rate striker and like our other premiership loan striker Campbell will not help Charlton. Wish we could play are own players as this would be better for Charlton in the long run. As for tomorrow see only a heavy defeat 0-4 and then on to Wigan that highlight of the North.
It seems a lot longer than 9 years since we beat Bolton at the Valley? And when you think they went down to L2 in that time aa well? This really will test us? Even a draw would be good to me? But Tues seemed worrying. Our defence? Their third goal? 2-0 to Bolton.
Good team Bolton? Lincoln was a one off? Big match against strong opposition? Could be celebrating Saturday 5pm? What?

Agree with you on Tedic. I personally would play May up front with Camara in the 10 role rather than Tedic up front & May out of position
Dont agree with your view on loan signings though. In my view good loans are one of the best opportunities we have to bring in the quality needed to get out of this league (as Cullen & Bielek etc did for us in 2019)
Looking forward to the game seems ages since I have been We need to get our A game back after our last game & get a win today Going for a good 3-1 win for the mighty CAFC COYR
If we play the way we played last week for 60mins and on Tuesday for the whole game this will be a heavy defeat. If we pull our finger out we might give them a decent run. 1-2.
That's exactly what Bolton did when winning 4-1 at the Valley when they went for the Jugular under Nigel Adkins tenure and they were excellent when winning 2-1 again last season in SE London.
The good news for CAFC is I have gone for another win for Ian Evatt's team and I can't tip my hat this season !
Bolton have been excellent at the valley over the last two seasons and we will have to play well to get a point. They will attack in numbers so we will need to be sharp in transition.
I so want to be wrong but it looks like an away win 😲
One home win v Bolton in 10 years .. they love the valley but they also get a lot of luck against us like last season in both games very poor ref decisions went there way that changed the course of the game .
Hoping as always for a good performance and three points. Defence is too fragile and doesn't instill confidence at all. Bolton seem a decent attacking team so expecting the worst. COYRs!!

3-0 Charlton, everyone complaining it could have been more.

I will be suitably impressed by Micky Apples if we can get 3 points out of Bolton

We need three in midfield. Or three at the back.
3.1.

What am i missing? Do they have a few injuries?
Is Ness injured?
bolton - Pompey double buying money

Was Appleton being realistic or defeatist?
It is 11v11, there is always a chance Michael.
