POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Norwich City: Saturday 24th October 2026: KO 12:30
Four changes today for this early kickoff against visitors Norwich City. Charlie Kelman, Joe Rankin-Costello, Josh Edwards, and Sonny Carey make the starting eleven. Norwich are in a poor run of form, as are Charlton, so this was likely to be a cagey affair. Charlton seemed to have lost the toss and Norwich turned them…

Chas replied, "Form is temporary, class is artificial.…

Owners- Short arms & Long pockets..........or no pockets?
Touching on my comment on the post-match thread (Watford), I'm curious to what others think are the reasons our board haven't invested in the squad sufficiently over the summer? Is it down to they simply can't afford to? Rumours about their wealth seem to go against this, so is it just that they simply don't want to invest…
