I wouldn't - we might have one or two decent players but will not have time to build them into a team and will be playing catch up. Pre- season looks all wrong to me - given the circumstances.
In all my years of following Charlton I don't think I've ever seen a pre-season campaign which accurately indicated how the new season would turn out. I remain relaxed.
Lots of negativity around this place tonight, I never judge a friendly on the season, even if we had first team players out, there are certain players who would not go fully into tackles anyway fearing injury
lets wait till Brentford then all this negativity will stop

Perhaps it is all a cunning ploy to play pre-season friendlies like we have to fool the bookies into believing we have a crap squad, they keep the odds long to win the title, we all lump on and win a fortune HA HA HA we are going to win some money
Only a friendly, development squad yadda yadda, but couldnt really take a single positive out of tonifht other than Solly made it onto the pitch, and there may be something about Tucudean.
I bet BP learnt a lot about tonights game, that is if he even watched it
The fact I could see him sitting on the bench suggests he was watching.
I wouldn't get too upset. It was proper low key. George showed some nice touches and good to see Solly get 60 odd minutes. Church poor as ever, Gomez decent.
Bit narked I bothered really as the feeling being given off most players was that they'd rather have been anywhere but on that pitch.
But doesn't a new team need more games- it isn't the result that annoys me - I thought we'd lose 1-0 to be honest when the updates started coming in. But does the manager know what he is doing? Seriously, does he?

Games every week, sometimes two a week, are pretty much a forge, they will make or break a team in a way preseason never will short of replicating those kind of conditions - which would leave you with a first 11 knackered a month or two into the season. It's too early to say which way this will go but Tucudean has scored goals with more experienced players behind him, Vetokele looks promising too... frankly, we've yet to play any team in equal fitness that is a realistic match for the kind of quality we'll see each week in the Championship. The fact Powell forged an even more radical overturn into a properly coherent, unified squad shows it can be done - and Big Bob has a reputation for doing likewise. I am not going to panic based on preseason friendlies that's for sure.
Should of been listed as Charlton XI match, quite unfair on fans to be honest. There is a big difference between the two. There is no way that justified Charlton first team
