I think the Millwall game will be more of a try out for both teams in an obviously more private context. Charlton have only just returned, and they will be re setting their pre season, Neil Harris will also be sorting his players out. Previously there has always seemed to be a good relationship between staff at Charlton and Neil Harris (a guy I have met briefly, and liked, and thought of as a proper football man), and I expect the game will have kind of agreed parameters and hopefully won’t be a brutal one. Maybe one with multiple substitutions taking place. I think the more conventional game will be against Crystal Palace on Friday, although they will be missing a couple of their players who need a rest after the Euros.

Has there ever been much onfield aggro between Charlton and Millwall? In recent years, I remember the games being pretty tepid actually.

it is the off field trouble. there was some at South Bermondsey station after the game last year. I remember being stuck in the que at the bottom of the stairs, watching some police squeeze their way up the stairs to support colleagues on the platform.
I had assumed that the Palace game on Friday 19th was the next one, then Millwall a week from tomorrow on the 23rd followed by Wimbledon on the 27th, spacing the three games out evenly.

I suppose ideally you would want a game where you can try diffrent things out. Maybe have four 40 minute halves instead of two etc... A game where it is all about getting minutes in legs and tweaking things. A game were the score doesn't matter. Maybe that is what this is whereas Palace will be more conventional.

It's a bit weird, both teams have played 2 matches already so surely can't be trying out new tactics. Can only assume they've got a trialist they don't want anyone to know about

I was responding to the comment hoping the game wouldn't be a brutal one. Obviously there's lots of aggro off the pitch when we meet, but as no spectators will be there tonight, that's not an issue.
“I’m disappointed with the result because we’re better than the result showed. But, one, you’ve got to score goals and, two, you’ve got to keep them out at the other end. I am generally pleased; these are a Championship side so it shows we’re competing there, but I want us to get better.
"No one has reported any injuries - that's the most important thing really and then you're looking for the physical workout, which we got. Then you're looking for the result, so two out of three ain't bad."

Brilliant insight Nath, cheers mate couldn't have possibly worked that one out

Nathan obviously putting himself up for the England job with tactical insight
Surely you just wouldn't bring up injuries if you didn't want people to know someone was injured, What's the point in saying no one got injured if it's not true

Is it at the Toolbox or their training ground?
Might try to blag my way in with my staff pass 😉
Behind closed doors.
For some reason Millwall want this REALLY under wraps
