That’s trueStig said:Our biggest game for a while and one where there's a lot of interest as a result of Jones' arrival. Hopefully we'll see the start of a renaissance and will come home with all three points. That said, despite what anyone might say this game is not the be all and end all; we can win today and still go down, we can lose today and still stay up. We can't take it easy if we win and we shouldn't give up if we lose. Let's give it our best shot, but whatever happens we shouldn't let it go to our heads.Turn the clock back to Charlton v West Ham
we won 4-0 but we went down and the hammers stayed up.8 -
Like Golfie this will be my first away game since Man U.
Massive interest among supporters, generated by arrival of the Jones boy.
Trying to keep a level head but feel like a kid at Xmas.

I’m just enjoying reading a preview thread with a sense of optimism rather than foreboding.I don’t know if the bloke predicting 16 straight wins is a WUM or for real, but I am absolutely here for that type of lunacy and long may it continue.13

Back to back wins this week will make us all feel a little better. Would settle for 4pts.
Reading aren't as bad as their league position suggests (we are) so going to be another tough game.
Hopefully new manager bounce and big away following gets us going 🙏1 -
I steered clear of the Reading match on the Prediction thread because this is a classic treble chance. Before the appointment of NJ I think the chances of an away win would be 7/1, but now, who knows.
The big difference is I feel excitement before the match rather than dread. First away match since Crawley.2 -
Feels like a new club bounce let alone manager. Perhaps I've got those rose tinted glasses on, but feeling positive.3

First away since Accrington in Jul22, season ticket holder but they just haven't seem worth going watch any more than I have to alongside less tolerance for some of the idiots who follow us. But I just hope todays the day things start to look up and I would take a draw.

If we ignore Cray Valley, Reading away 2019 was my sons last away win. Never dreamed we’d get to 2024 waiting for the next. Not sure today will change, but like we’ve done countless times over the last few years, we travel in hope.
I don’t think Reading will be our main competitor for relegation so don’t see today as a must win, but how good would it be to come away with something positive.
Come on you Addicks5 -

Let today be the day the direction of the club turns around.
Have a great day all the faithful going and enjoy it. Hope you come back hoarse

Honestly I don't think we win this game. Reading are in top form and are battling for their whole club's survival.
I'll be judging the Lincoln game on Tuesday more than this.1 -
What are people saying, take a point now?0

If a point keeps us out of the bottom.four, I'd take it, but it's more about a decent improvement in performance today albeit NJ has had only a week.

Isted
Ramsay REG Gillesphy Edun
Dobbo
Coventry Bakinson
L Watson
May Ladapo
subs: AMB, Thomas, Small, T Watson, Fiorini, Campbell, Kanu
Leaving home in an hour - absolutely tingling for a relegation 6 pointer - plain f*****g weird!0 -
So do we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and get an away win. Do we get a point in our fight against the drop, with another stumbling display by our unmatched bunch of footballing misfits. Or do we lose again, and Jones is the latest of the ever changing bunch of shit managers to roll through the door.We are currently the WORSE team in league One.

Wouldn’t it be great if we had new manager bounce, not sure we’ve ever had that, have we?2

No, I wouldn't. A point is a point, but I want all three. If it was the last game of the season I'd take it as a no brainer, but right now I'd rather get off to a great start under our new manager. It might be mumbo-jumbo, but 'think lucky and you'll be lucky' as Evadne Price used to say.se9addick said:What are people saying, take a point now?0 -
Drove up from Southampton and got here a tad early.
Parked at Holiday Inn and team were here. My old man got this pic with Nathan Jones. He's a nice guy!

When the story of our rise from league one to European champions is made into a blockbuster film, Michael Sheen must be nailed on to play Nathan Jones2

16 wins in a row! I don’t think that even our Championship winning team of 2000 or League One winners of 2012 managed that. How could you think that this bunch of losers could even get close?letthegoodtimesroll said:
You probably wouldn’t. It starts with one win, tomorrow hopefully, then another, and another and then if we can do it again perceptions and expectations will start to change, both at Charlton, on and off the pitch, and at other clubs. Winning after that will just seem the likely outcome.se9addick said:
Fair enough, I guess we all have our own levels of surprisedness and I would be extraordinarily surprised if Charlton won 16 games in a row.letthegoodtimesroll said:
It’s unlikely to happen but it wouldn’t be a surprise, it’s a new 16 game season and tomorrow is game 1 with a new manager to sweep away the negativity of the approach most of the squad and all the fans have had to contend with; and we have a player who scores for fun when he’s not having to win the ball in his own goal area and cross to himself to set up a chance. A bit of positivity from the Charlton fans will do wonders to help, because let’s face it, Appleton’s approach killed the atmosphere and that has had its own negative impact on the players.se9addick said:
I’d be pretty bloody surprised if Charlton won every match between now and the end of the season!letthegoodtimesroll said:
This is the best squad of players I’ve ever seen at the Valley to find themselves in a relegation scrap they should be nowhere near and it’s a squad that if they get their act together under the right manager wouldn’t surprise me if they won every game between now and the end of the season. I don’t expect them to but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.se9addick said:
Right be I think the important qualifier was lowest footballing point…letthegoodtimesroll said:
The club being touted for moving to Milton Keynes, the club almost going out of existence, the club moving to Selhurst, the Valley overgrown and derelict …these are low points in our lifetimes . A cyclical relegation scrap isn’t.oohaahmortimer said:The lowest footballing point in all our lifetimes and it’s going to get worse
can’t see a win , draw at best
think you’re off your rocker. I’m willing to bet that never in any professional league in the world has a team winless in 14 games with no clean sheets ever then gone to win every of their last 16 matches. Are you intending on matchfixing or downright cheating to make it happen?

Personally think this is a must win. Whether we get it or not though, is another matter.

Really? A few years back? It would be more like 100 years, if at all.JamesSeed said:
I think we’ve been lower in the league a few years back, but this has certainly been an awful run.oohaahmortimer said:The lowest footballing point in all our lifetimes and it’s going to get worse
