    Ex player curse I fear. JRS to run rings round our defence. 

    We have to.score first to win this one. And it is a must win game if we want to put distance between us & the bottom 3. But having only scored 3 goals in the first 30 mins in games so far this season I see another nervy game ahead.

    0-2. JRS double.

    By most accounts JRS had a piss-poor game against WBA on Saturday - no reason to fear him.
    I think we nick it 1-0 - Jones from a corner late on.
    JRS did not pull up trees at Sheffield utd or whatever random Turkish side he found himself at earlier in the season.  Nothing to fear.

    I’m not confident we will get a result, given the lack of creativity in midfield.

    It will be more long ball and hope we nick a goal.

    0-1

    Gutted when he left and we kept Ben Watson instead. Hindsight and all but what a terrible decision.

    Does anyone know if a photo of a season ticket will work on the barcorde readers to get into the ground?

    I don’t mind Pratley but that’s like Glastonbury putting Jedward on for the Sunday legends slot 
    Pratley should have the Sunday legends slot at Glastonbury.

    He could talk us through the Peterborough away game where he fouled everyone before he got booked.

    Can we compete? Of course. Can we pressurise them and create chances? Of course. Can we score enough goals to win? Ah, that's the big question.

    I did this for the QPR game as was running late due to the trains. Worked fine, just turn the brightness up on your phone

    Burke has been missing from the squad for the last 2 games.

    Anyone know if he's injured (again) or on the naughty step after his appalling performance at Millwall?
    Everyone was appalling at Millwall .  I’d still rather Burke than Gillesphey at centre back

    Probably best to make sure it’s a photo of a Charlton season ticket.

    Win tonight and we are just 8 points off a playoff place. Somehow we seem to have narrowed that gap by just worrying about trying to move away from the relegation pack. Those last 4 points seem to have all counted in doing that. Maybe if we keep that approach going we will narrow the gap a bit more.

    Have more luck with Burke and Hare...
  • A win tonight and it will really boost my confidence about staying up. Definitely a winnable game...

    I loved Darren. His way of winning a freekick by putting himself between the ball and the opposition player and then slowly falling over became a legend in our house. And also along with Pearcey having a little lie down every now and then to stop the game.

    Well, he certainly didn't score a spectacular own goal  ;)
    In fact he tookk it upon himself to drag the team back from their torpor after that set back.
    Leader.

    Me too.
    Once you've got the picture add it to Google wallet (probably same whatever app you've got); crop it through the process, to show barcode only. This sizes it nicely, and gets rid of background. Works a treat. 
  • Bite your hand off for a draw tonight, need to just keep picking up points while those around us are losing.

    Big one is next week, have to beat Portsmouth at home.

    Some museum archive items are difficult to date or to put into context, not so this plate gifted to
    @CAFCofficial by @stokecity in February 1998 to mark City's first season at their new stadium.

      It was also Sasa Ilic's debut and the start of the run to Wembley 98. The rest is history.

    • Charlton Athletic have lost just one of their last eight home league meetings with Stoke City (W5 D2), winning their only two this century: 1-0 in January 2008 and 3-1 in August 2019.
    • Stoke City have won just one of their last eight away games against Charlton Athletic (D2 L5), a 2-1 victory in January 1997 under Lou Macari thanks to a Mike Sheron brace. Overall, they’ve won each of their last two league games against them, previously winning three in a row in January 1997.  
    • Charlton Athletic won nine of 10 midweek league games (Tue/Wed/Thu) between Boxing Day 2024 and November 2025 (D1), but are winless in their four since (D1 L3).
    • Stoke City have won just one of their last 41 league games in London (D14 L26) – a run that stretches back to December 2014 – beating Queens Park Rangers 2-0 in December 2021.
    • Charlton manager Nathan Jones has lost five of his six previous league games against former club Stoke City, with the exception a 2-1 away win with Luton Town in February 2022.

    Still feel bad for how much shit I was giving him after the Orient win last season before he looked me directly in the eyes and clapped our fans. I will be there an hour early to pay my respects.

    Alternatively you can scan the barcode on a pack of Whatsits and the turnstiles will still let you in.

    I actually don't get the stat (and relates to your point). Was their last win in London 2014 or 2021? 

    Google tells me the 2021 date is correct when they beat QPR 2-0 in December 2021. 

    that is a lot of games though and we can't let me break that record tonight.  0-0 draw.

    Of course we aren’t in ‘must win games’ territory yet but sooner or later we’re going to have to start winning some home games. Sadly think this will be another draw. Can’t see where our goals will come from.

    He's played 2 games, 1 against 10 men, 1 against a very weakened QPR side - think you are jumping the gun a bit.
