    Really hope the players put in a shift today, and that the players raise there game, Personally I would want Leaburn to start, with Godden, then put Aneke  on after 70 odd minutes. Hopefully a draw, but if we loose  it could well set the pattern for the season.

    Start with the most experienced XI we can put out and I fancy us to get a draw
    That would be my first instinct too, but if he insists of persisting with the high press we will probably need the likes of Campbell and Anderson's energy.
    If it turns toxic we really need to remove the kids from the firing line

    Well that first defeat has to happen somewhere... I wonder where.


    Does it? Why? It MAY never have happened in a 46 game league season yet but never had a team in the lower leagues spent an 8 figure sum on a player either.

    Let’s hope for a reaction today - and a proper gameplan. We started the season looking organised and efficient but I reckon Jones tried to tweak it when he could see we didn’t have any creativity, and that’s resulted in us being a halfway house. The chopping and changing of personnel to up the creativity levels hasn’t helped that. Give Godden a run and I’d also take Anderson out of it, urging Doc to put in a captain’s performance. 

                                 Mannion
                        Mitchell Jones Potts
    Ramsey                                             Edwards 
                            Doc (c) Coventry 
                                     Berry
                           Godden  Leaburn

    Subs 
    AMB, Taylor, Gillesphy, Aneke, TC, Small, Ahadme

    That midfield is so pedestrian , not that there are many other options .  Nil points

    Aneke or Leaburn to start up top with Godden, whoever starts to be replaced by the other on 60 mins. I think Docherty will return in a midfield three with Coventry and maybe Taylor, possibly Berry. Back five picks itself imo, Ramsay, Mitchell, Jones, Gillesphey, Edwards. 2-0 Charlton win.
    Bloody hell. Did you and @golfaddick meet up and take some funny pills last night?

    Feeling very optimistic, no point going otherwise is there? Way some people talk you'd think we are playing Real Madrid. They are the Midlands Millwall, going home with their collective tails between their legs. COYA.

    Think we need to go back to solid
    NJ is still working out the identity I think but I’d prefer we stop leaking goals while he does 
    I also think Godden is an intelligent footballer and will hopefully link the play much better than Campbell and Ahadme

    If Dixon is called up, see that a bit as Jones pushing his final panic button. 

    Wouldn't want his first game to be against Birmingham, seems like a silly introduction.

    I struggle to pick a team for this one. Our striking options are pretty dismal.

    We pressed them well in the cup game and kept them at bay, but we seem to lack the edge and motivation to do that recently. 

    I'm going to have to literally drag myself to the Valley on Saturday. 
    Wow. Have you set up some kind of sophisticated and automated long distance winching system?

    Yeah, the same one we used to get Ben Watson on the pitch

    Expecting a much improved performance from all players today, but unfortunately not hopeful of picking up any points.

    Unfortunately I'll be there. 
    It's what I've  been doing since 1966.

    Why the fuck did my late uncle support Charlton instead of Arsenal or Man utd or whatever. 
    I blame my late uncle as well!

    I loved him dearly, but he did cost me a fortune in match tickets and grief being an Addick!
    Think how much it would cost for match tickets for Arsenal or Man U. He did you a favour by saving you money 🤗

    Win, draw or lose, I'll be happy to see us just put a bit of fight in and show some kind of game plan. A lot to ask for I know.

    It’s only possible if the players show the fight on the pitch to match your fighting talk. The kind of fight that only May and Dobson showed last season.

    I can imagine being there with you, with the sun shining, and feeling the same optimism. The thing is that when we did that together we had players like Gritt, Stevey Brown, or Johnny Robinson. Now all I ever see are disorganised give a shit tosspots.

    Anyway, I’ll be mowing the lawn, hoping you’re right.

    Could have been a Gills fan, or even worse, Millwall!

    Think we will put in a good performance today and Ahadme best performance in a charlton shirt. ( anything above 4 in the player ratings is a Win )

    My first in person game of the season, bumped into @Braziliance and the fans bar is busy but coping well. Taking those last two as good omens for a scrappy 1-0 home win

    Historically we’ve played better against the better sides so that suggests we could sneak
    this. Though historically we’ve probably had better players than the current bunch. Hoping for a win today, Alfie is nailed on to score but he’ll be on the bench until the last 10 minutes so hopefully we’ll already be 2-0 up by then. 2-1 Addicks. Chuks, Miles

    my Posh supporting mate described their squad as the worst they’ve had in 10 years on friday which I thought was a bit extreme!
