    That 27 December 1971 game at Carrow Road referred to FA was one of my early away games as a youngster. It was a full house at Carrow Road, Kenny Foggo scored after 10 minutes and we barely got a kick, with Ray Treacy having our only attempt on goal in the second half. Two late goals finished us off. David Cross was making his debut, having signed from Rochdale for £40,000, and another debutant, Jim Bone from Partick Thistle, scored in the 2-0 at The Valley in the return at Easter. Following a 2-1 home defeat to Orient in Good Friday morning (featuring a memorable own goal from David Shipperley), the writing was very much on the wall. At least we're in much better shape at present.

    Norwich will be favourites tomorrow but we usually perform reasonably well at home and I quite fancy us to take something from the game. I think that  Josh Makama, who gave us such problems on Boxing Day, and Toure are both still injured, which must deplete Norwich to some extent, notwithstanding their excellent form and the strength of their squad. As others have said, a draw would be a satisfactory outcome.
    I'm not certain when I started going to The Valley.
    I know I've had a S/T since 72/73.
    I reckon I first went in 1969.
    I definitely remember Shipperley's OG. He was in or near to the centre circle wasn't he?

    Expect Carey to have a good game. Being a Norwich fan and all his family being Norwich, it’s usually the way football works.

    They’re a very good side who move the ball well. What happened to them at the start of the season is down to one man. Some of their fans didn’t like him from the start, the squad was far too good to be in that position. A better start and they’d be top 6 by now.

    Hoping for a good day in decent weather and picking up the points to take us over that 50 point mark but think we’ll get a draw.

    Would like to see Kelman start too.

    By the time we play Bristol City on Good Friday, we could have Sichenje, Knibbs, Berry and Godden all available or at least close to it. Decent opportunity for us to try and kick on and end the season strongly.

    He certainly was - and thumped the ball high in the air, looping it over our goalie. If there were blooper complications in those days, it would certainly have made the cut !

    Thanks that's what I thought I remembered.
    I knew as a kid Charlton weren't great.
    I've never supported Charlton for the glory.
    I support them because they were my local club.

    Remember it to this day. One of the most bizarre own-goals you could ever see.  
    We weren't great back then but, as a kid, it didn't stop me falling in love with Charlton and The Valley.

    Having watched a truly awful Charlton performance at Carrow Road I really hope to see a great home win.
    Not sure which was worst.....

    Norwich
    Millwall 
    WBA
    Oxford

    This list is endless.

    4 - 3 win.

    NJ releases Charlton's attacking potential and we win a thriller.

    Despite his hat-trick of assists Campbell will be blamed for us letting in three goals.

    One of the tougher fixtures going at the moment, but we know we're strong at home, generally good against decent (and expecially free flowing) opposition, and hopefully being two points off Nathan's aim of 50 with eight games to go is just the right balance of motivating vs calming. 

    Not sure any result would surprise me, other than a load of goals in either direction. I reckon 1-1 with Carey giving it to the locals.

    Would definitely like to see Kelman up top with Dykes. As much as I generally want to see more of JRC, probably a game for Doc.

    Talking of bizarre goals and
     Charlton players, I remember a 6ft 8 goalie from South Africa named Utenbogaart who scored from a goal kick in a reserve match at the Valley. The opposition keeper finger touched it which made it legal. The huge South African never made it into our first team and went home.

    @Kingfish 7 October 1950 v Folkstone.  It was a clearance rather than a goal kick.

    He actually did make the first team six times

    Charlton 3 -2 Norwich

    Suddenly it all clicks up top but also falls apart at the back.
