A small aside, I was interested to see the popularity of our Jamican style 3rd kit being worn at Aston Gate by the Addicked faithful. I really love it as much as i dislike the light blue 2nd kit, sorry Charlton IMHO shouldn't play in blue whatever the shade. Its a horrible design and a bit naff however the Jamican kit in contrast is stylish, subtle and just looks great not screaming out "football" shirt but more "casual" leisurewear, well done to our new kit designers. I hope it's first league appearance is at Loftus Rd. COYA's.
Why would we wear black against QPR? They play in blue and white and we play in red...
One thing i missed was that Nathan Jones was on the same train as me the 18.22 from BTM to Portsmouth. Another Charlton fan told me when we got off at Salisbury. Apparently he was a couple of rows of seats behind me...Typical.
Apparently some fans eyeballed him at BTM prior to my train coming in.
He was enjoying the adoration of the Charlton fans on the platform opposite with them singing “Jonesy’s at the wheel”
I think he particularly liked the fans with the ‘Charlton Cymru 🏴’ flag and took a selfie with that in the background.
Clearer image of what he has in his hand. I didn’t want to believe it but it’s definitely a sandwich. Devastating.

Make you right Sporadic, but I think it's been a long time since I've been able to work out how and why we play in the second or third kit when there is no colour clash, go back to black and white telly I say, three channels, a short walk to turn it over, beans on toast for tea is it ? never could be sure, Marvellous ! e
I mean there was a 0-0 at The Den over a decade back, I was there! And the Bauer disallowed 0-0. And the Tucudean 0-0, both at home. So we've kept 3 clean sheets against them in our non-winning run

Ah Leuth happy days, I am one of those who have seen our only two wins at the Den. Kim Grant in the snow and a much forgotten two nil victory, Dave Shipperley and Peter Shaw, scoring, my Millwall mates deny the second match ever happened but can remember the return game at the Valley, when they won 4-2.

It wasn't so long ago that we had just two kits, and in an emergency for the one game a year both kits clashed, the kit manufacturer would produce a generic plain kit for that match,
Then that plain 3rd kit got normalised.
Then that 3rd kit became a proper kit in itself...

We definitely play at a very high tempo so all of our players are going to need a rest and recovery out of the team from time to time. Jones has a squad where we’re able to do that without too much disruption. At this point I still don’t think Nathan has worked out exactly who his “first eleven” are. Knibbs and Olaofe for example haven’t come to regularly play off the bench. At some point both will need integrating into the starting line up. Having said that, none of the current starters deserve to be dropped. What a great position we’re in for the first time in donkeys.
Not saying Kelman deserves to be dropped, but I think we would be more difficult opponents with Olaofe starting. Or Miles. I know Kelman works the defense, but so would Olaofe in particular. I suspect most defenders would rather face Kelman than Olaofe from the kick-off.

Because it's happened doesn't make it right. We should wear red away at QPR. We can wear black shorts (as we used to).
And looking at that picture, picking players out for pass at pace would be a darn sight easier if we were wearing red.

We are a high pressing team now though It would help us steal the ball.
I was very impressed with the Bristol stream commentary and analysis. It's well put together.
Also, if they can afford it, I'm hopeful we can too.
Can you give more details about it? (since I'm due to talk with Tom R, about Charlton TV, mainly on behalf of the international crowd)
How come you were able to/chose to access it? (if the answer is something to do with a stick could you also access Charlton TV that way?)
Do they have a studio - based format, as we did?
Do they have control of replay footage, as we did but no longer do?
I watched it with a Bristol fan who has a subscription.
Yeah, it's a studio format. It's tighter than our old show and more game-focused. They were able to annotate the highlights - which I never saw on CAFCTV - and provide insight and analysis. Whereas CAFCTV was more general chatter and comments about the game. Which is good, too. But there could be a balance of both.
I'm not sure if they had control of the replay footage during the live game. I couldn't tell.
Largely we have been crap against Millwall but we have also been very unlucky/robbed on a couple of occasions. The Solly red card for having the ball volleyed at his face & the disallowed perfectly fine goal stand out

Both games were available in tv sticks, as they are every week, along with almost every other EFL team.
Good to know (since the “piracy” angle is bound to come up) . Since I’ve never come across these sticks, can you or anyone explain how private streams like these make their way on to them?
I believe, in its simplest form, the people running the services intercept the legitimate streams and simply restream them, I’m sure someone can give a more detailed explanation
I’ve had a variety of different subscriptions for these services and the number of channels available can vary hugely.
My main sub has absolutely everything you can imagine channel wise, college football, mls, all EFL teams etc, whereas my backup sub has maybe 5 channels max, with no EFL channels.

I cannot work out where the weak point is in the system. But as I understand it, even under the Sandgaard model, the main game stream was coming from the EFL centre for feeds which is in Osterley ( the Athletic did an article on it.) But if the sticks have the full CTV show with Terry and Brownie on 30 minutes before KO, that’s something only available to people who have paid, with a card, and the club hold the details. And that’s true for all the other clubs too.
It’s beyond me, but maybe somebody can explain it.
I imagine either someone has a subscription for all the clubs (not that expensive when you consider how many users there are) or someone has hacked it. My guess is it’s the former and they sell their stream on to the various providers/websites. Last year one stream kept having (what I presume was) Chinese writing on the screen but the website seems to be Scandi so they’ve probably bought the feed off someone in China
