POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Preston Nth End: Saturday 29th August 2026: KO 15:00
One change from the previous league match starting eleven this afternoon, with Ivan Mesik coming in for the injured Billy Koumetio to take on the potato botherers from Lancashire. Patience was the word for the first half. Charlton prodded, speculated, and probed in attack to little avail. Conversely, the home side were…

2026-27 CL Prediction League Week 3 Fixtures
Well, hopefully everyone is into the swing of the 2026-27 Prediction League, though it seems several are keeping their powder dry. Last week was a low-scoring week, but Week 3 might be a chance to show our bouncebackability. (I'm hooked on managers' quotes this week). Talking of 'hooking', those with an interest in fishing…

Half time refreshments (or lack of)

Squad Registration Restrictions
With the squad currently looking like this, we're potentially at the point where two senior players have to miss out from the Championship squad. The U21 players, Asiimwe, Fullah, Mwamba and Mbick, don't count towards the 25-man limit, leaving us with 27 senior players for 25 places. Goalkeepers Thomas Kaminski Will…

But what about the player who scored the goal?…

John 'Fred' Saunders
As I reach the last handful of players to be included in volume 3 of 'The Valiant 1000', there remains a few about whom we have limited knowledge, so I am wondering if any of the sleuths on Charlton Life can unearth anything about Fred Saunders. He was born in Maidenhead in 1943, but went to school at Plumstead. He was a…

Horrible little manager with no clue whatsoever. How have we come into the season with no attacking midfielders and no wingers.…

There, I said it. I don’t believe he was ‘a greedy bastard’. I sense it was far more that Jones didn’t want / see him being in his starting XI in the Champ, and our wage offer reflected that. So he ended up uprooting to the other end of the country where he was wanted more. He always gave 100%, was exciting to watch,…
