MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic V Portsmouth : Pre-Season : Saturday 3rd August 2024 : KO 15:00

So, Welcome back everybody to The Valley for this last Pre-Season friendly V Portsmouth, and the first chance to see for real the new pitch which has been extensively followed in its progress with photo's by @Henry Irving
We have beaten Pompey 40 times in the 116 meetings between the sides, including seven in the last 11. Pompey have won 46 times, with 30 of the meetings ending all square, we shared a goalless draw at The Valley back in February...Remember, this is a friendly...😉
We can only hope that Nathan has his first team just about sorted by now, but of course there could be some late tweeking still to be done, namely in the GK position...but here we go...

Looking forward to seeing the line-up, when available...

  • Play up Charlton…Charlton play up!
  • Congratulations Greg Docherty on been named as new club captain, he's worn the armband  for the Addicks during pre-season, first game in his official capacity...
  • Looking forward to the meltdown later this afternoon.

    May I be the first to say if we lose .. what a load of crap, Jones does not know what he is doing! New owners just looking for a quick buck, relegation looming.

    If we win .. Yay, Championship here we come, make Jones MOTY right now, New owners are gods.

    Delete as appropriate.
    Oh and just to get it out of the way.... Dobson would've made that challenge and May would have scored that chance.

    Think that covers the CL bingo nicely.
    You forgot the “a fit Chuks is a cheat code” .

    May as well get the post match thread up already by the sounds of it...🤔
  • Presumably the starting 11 should be pretty much our 1st 11 next week ? Interesting to see if Chucks starts again

    Quite right, how forgetful of me. I should also add a terrible A&E-ke pun for when he hobbles off after 30 minutes or so.

    Good idea, I’ll resurrect the “how outraged are you” thread.
  • Would be good to see a definite team today with square pegs in square holes and some attacking intent and defensive solidity. Also some set piece plans. And creating a few chances. Not fussed with result.

    He has not looked fit enough to play much more than 45 minutes, so unlikely if NJ is playing his first team.
  • I'm on my way. First time I would have seen the new recruits so I'm hoping I'll be impressed. 

    Also hoping that the starting 11 will roughly resemble the same 11 that starts next week, baring the odd niggle or  two.
  • I think jones is expecting a clean sheet 
  • No Godden?
  • Interesting that Edwards, Anderson and Campbell start instead of Small, Berry and Godden/Kanu. Other than those positions I expect that's the starting XI
  • No Godden?
    Wonder if it's precaution after the cut on his eye last game

  • I assumed he’d play the starting 11 for Wigan, but surely that can’t be it?

    I hope not

    Selling him
  • Expected Small to start but not knowing how players are doing in training I’m really looking forward to today
  • No Godden?
    Being sold....p/ex for Alfie May. We have to stump up £1m as part of the deal 😄.

    Definitely not. No way will he leave Berry and Small  out next week. 
  • I see Hylton (T) is still with us and on the bench.
  • Interesting/concerning that Small is on the bench again.

    I hear Andy Todd has been at Sparrows Lane.
