PLAYER RATINGS & STATBANK: Watford 2-0 Charlton Athletic, Saturday 17th October 2026
-
I am going to say it!! Yes I am, Nathan Jones......................
Out!!!! yes I said it and I don't care. Shit negative football, making 4-6 changes every game tell us he is desperate and has no clue. Dropping decent players who have played well for no reason. Horrible little manager with no clue whatsoever. How have we come into the season with no attacking midfielders and no wingers.…

General things that confuse you
I'll start: - Why anyone would put an orange fake tan on and think "Yep, looking good". - The popularity of that Kardashian programme. - Most tin openers. - People camping outside a hospital for days on end in the hope of catching a glimpse at a stranger's baby. - American football.

Going to games on holiday
I’ve travelled overseas expressly to watch a match a handful of times (El Classico & Madrid derby etc) but usually football doesn’t cross my mind when I book trips abroad. However….once they’re booked, I sometimes take a peek at whether the local team has a home game and occasionally pop along. Interested to hear other…

The Under 21s Thread (Match updates and news)
On a personal level it is extremely disappointing that our Under 23's are seeking permission to play their matches at Beckenham Town this season. Although 5 matches will be played at the Valley, that is too far for me to travel. Of course Beckenham is far from being "Charlton heartland", but of course the regime are…

Football facts that don't sound true (but are)
Inspired by the Aguero not being a PotY conversation, what other facts do you know that sound like they shouldn't be true but are? I'll start with a couple. Jens Lehmann went a whole season in the Champions League without conceding a goal, and got all the way to the final. Sergio Ramos has scored more goals than Andres…

Round 1 is being played on 8 September so that's probably roughly when the draw will take place. Gillingham and Bromley…

Managerial sackings, comings and goings

It doesnt…

England women
I know they say that there are no easy matches in international football now, but that's certainly not the case in women's football England just beat North Macedonia 8-0 in a ridiculously one sided match, which should have been 18. England had 48 shots and 81% possession

Who should be captain?
In my opinion Lloyd Jones isn’t a captain in the true sense of the word. I want my captain cajoling players, bawling at players when necessary, a quiet word in their ear and encouraging when needed. After he gave away the pen Ouma needed someone saying, keep your head, forget it, keep going. But nothing. The same with…

But what about the player who scored the goal?…

The mathematics of relegation
Some of you will have seen the posts in the 'League table talk' thread where I indicate that we currently need 11 points to be mathematically certain of safety from relegation.

Comparing 25/26 to 26/27 game by game
Last season we ended up with 53 points from 46 games. One way of comparing the progress we make is to compare last seasons results to this season fixture by fixture. To make this comparison possible promoted/relegated teams are paired in last season’s table order so we compare Coventry results against West Ham, Hull…

Sidcup: Hundreds of motorists fined over A20 road sign error
One small error. A 50mph sign where it should have been a 40. Not sure exactly where this is. (Turn off London bound at QM hospital maybe?) Lots of headaches for others. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-68186175
