  • Small with a great smile on his face the moment he starts talking about Charlton, said it was a low point in his career before he joined us.
  • Christ thats a lightweight frontline, ready to be bullied. 

    Hope that isn't the case but we will see. 

    Loss 2 games on the trot so might have been to try some of the new recruits.

    I’d have gone for Olaofe and Leaburn up front for the physical presence, but then I’m scarred by memories of Pritchard, Pigott etc being lightweight in games against Millwall.

    Prove us wrong Kelman and TC 🙏🏻
    This - Kelman and TC don’t inspire me at the moment 
  • Think it a mistake starting TC seeing as he's been half way around the world & played a match in midweek.

    Better off starting Oalafe against his old side. But then NJ didn't learn from the QPR match when he should have started Kelman. 

    No wonder why our players never score against their old sides.....they never get to start ffs !
  • Oh I do love Paul Heckingbottom, saying that budgets are overrated - He can be a Charlton Manager in the future!!
  • That lineup says to me we aren’t going to play long ball and let their CB’s dominate loads of aerial duels. I want to see balls into Kelmans feet for him to flick round the corner for TC or Apter to run onto. If that happens or not is a different question 
  • SKY turning their attention to our game, after the break.

    So we used the international break to get minutes into players, just so they could warm the bench as usual.

    Everyone has to be ready to play, from the off or the bench...
  • Really want to see TC run at Leonard, bloke is 33 and slow so a real opportunity there

  • Millwall are a poor team, especially this one. Have faith in NJ, he has a plan for this match and is one of the numerous managers we have had over the past 15 years who understands the importance of this game to the fans. A comfortable win for us playing most of the second half against 10 men. Keep the faith.
  • I presume Anderson is still suspended for a straight red. 
  • Alex Neil is too calm - talking like he's had an edible 
  • I presume Anderson is still suspended for a straight red. 
    Forgot about him
  • I have been to nearly every single Charlton/Millwall game since we last beat them 29yrs ago 
    In my life time, Charlton have played Millwall 40 times and beat them 6, I would guess I have seen 2 of those wins (33%) yet the vast bulk of the losses/draws (probably 80% of them).  I am the Jonah.  And I am off to Chiswick for lunch (gutted completely not to be at The Valley but there was no getting out of it).

    To sum up the above.  We will win, handsomely... because I won't be there.

    Kelman to get off the mark, TC to terrorise them - having come through our academy this game will mean a lot to him I reckon and give him an extra few %.

    UTA.

    Why wouldnt you be calm if you were Millwall Manager.

    Easiest three points he'll have to work for this season

    It's just it wasn't clear whether it was a second yellow or a straight red at the time.
  • I hope NJ does what Chris Powell did in the away match. Play 11 men behind the ball, it did work. 
  • Feeling optimistic this morning. 1-1 draw
  • In the Bugle. My daughter, who has been to quite a few games, has just revealed that she has NEVER seen us lose.

  • Campbell clearly being utilised for his pace in this team... No one can rival him in the 20-man squad for that role really.

    Whether the fact he's flown around the world these last few weeks, with limited time at Sparrows Lane, will have an effect remains to be seen.

    But I mean... If his team mates dont know how he plays now etc., there is a greater issue at hand
    Olaofe? His pace, strength and work rate is what he’s all about?

    His lack of minutes in the League is a bit telling though isn't it - Whats he not doing, that we're not seeing?
  • With Bree on the bench at least we shouldn’t see TC having to move to RWB 
  • Nathan sticking to his guns, BUT still seems unsure who is his go-to striker .. Millwall playing a 4 4 2, back to the future ?
    Good referee today and he'll need to be strong and competent
    Big test for us today, roll on 12.30 and get this thing rocking .. Come on Youse Addicksssaaaa

    You think the game in Bermondsey will be harder for them?
  • Blimey MWall look massive
  • Just hoping we never hear the Your never beat the Wall at the end of the game.

    27 years - it has to end at some point 

    2-1 - Kelman winner at 64 mins 

    Carey gets off the mark as well 
  • They’ve obviously worked on stuff with Kelman the last couple of weeks.
