Boldest predictions for the season

LittleAddick · July 29

Mine is that a 35yo Matt Godden is going surpass 15 goals in all competitions.

And maybe just to even out that blind optimism, Carey is going to massively underperform and we're going to be left wondering how he got 8 goals last season.

Chalobah will be signed for free, with a contract related to availability, and he will complete 34 first team matches next season.

Complete as in play 90 minutes or he'll make 34 appearances?

Welcome to Charlton Life, Mystic Meg.

cafc-4-life · July 29

We sneak late in to the 8th position to be in the play offs.

sam3110 · July 29

We are in the top third scoring teams in the league next season

Swisdom · July 29

Sichenje turns out to be a machine and we wonder how we ever coped without him

Koumetia is the second coming of Sam Sodje winning EVERYTHING in the air and bringing us at least 3 heart-stopping moments per game

Mesik gets tapped up by a premier league team, especially after scoring the winner in the Millwall game just before christmas

SouthWest_Addicks · July 29

The three relegated sides (Bolton, Lincoln & Blackburn) will stink the place out this season and teams will only need 40 points to stay up.

HastingsRed · July 29

We hit 60pts. Would be happy to just improve on 53 though.

golfaddick · July 29

We beat Cheltenham & get through to the 2nd round of the League Cup.

These arent just bold predictions, they're: "WTF have you been smoking" predictions

cantersaddick · July 29

Nathan Jones will get so irate on the touchline he will punch himself in the face out of pure frustration at a refereeing decision and the lack of explanation by the 4th official. He will leave himself with a black eye.

cantersaddick · July 29

Not that bold in fact nailed on - our injury crisis position will be central midfield. We will be wishing for Karoy Anderson some point in the middle of December.

MarcusH26 · July 29

The 20+ year transfer record is going to be smashed on a CM.

jonseventyfive · July 29

Lengthy cup run, prediction may have been affected by the heat.

CAFCTrev · July 29

My boldest prediction is that everyone who wants a ticket will get one.

Uboat · July 29

FA Cup quarter final

killerandflash · July 29

We play such attractive, possession based football, that Nathan Jones is poached to be the next Barcelona manager.

usetobunkin · July 29

Our safety is only confirmed when we equalise against Lincoln City 90+ 9 after being 2-0 down.

Garrymanilow · July 29

I do agree with the opening post that we might not see the version of Sonny Carey we saw at the start of last season. Not such a problem if Knibbs is at it but I'd love to see good Carey again, he really started winding me up as the season went on and his decision-making became less and less justifiable.

My bold prediction is that if we do get this commanding CM that Jones wants then we'll still see a lot of Greg Docherty but he'll become a real fan favourite. If we've got someone else to control the game then having Docherty either come on to help see out a game or playing alongside a positive ball-player and doing all the extra running for him that he does will endear him far more than at the moment, where he's asked to win the ball, support his wingback, block shots on the edge of the box, get hold of the ball, start creative passing moves and then arrive in the box as an option as well. And I'll be delighted about that because Doc deserves the chance to focus more on what he's good at and less on showing off attributes he doesn't necessarily have at this level.
