A hefty number of travelling Addicks sold out the allocation with over 2,600 fans based in both one end of the main north stand, which runs along the side of the pitch, as well as in a section of the new Motorpoint Stand behind the goal.
The main stand offers generally good views, but is much older with some wooden seats towards the back. There are some seats which do carry a restricted view and those were the last to be sold of the initial allocation. The newer Motorpoint Stand, however, offers good views and legroom with more modern facilities.
Just have a gut feeling we are due a wheels come off day. At 90 minutes last week it looked like it was happening, then BOOM ! So, now have a feeling it's this week, add in Taylor missing, an I can see a 2-1 defeat.
2-1 to the Addicks . Reeves and Grant with the goals . Looking forward to it . Just three stops on the train for me .
Hopefully will see you in time for the walk to the ground. Although I feel very positive about the team it was alarming that we only just scraped through against Accrington. Think we'll bounce back from that win ;-)
We've certainly got the players to trouble this team but my main concern is that, in Taylor's absence, we won't be able to make the ball stick up top and bring other players into the game.
There will be a lot of pressure on Karlan and, as the main danger man for Peterborough, I hope he doesn't come in for too much clogging. He's so quick, it's usually difficult for defenders to catch him but there's more scope for robust challenges if he's receiving the ball with his back to goal, rather than running the channels. Recco may play but I'd take Lee Bowyer's press conference with a pinch of salt and I wouldn't be surprised to see Fosu start- he's hardly going to spell out his tactical plan for Evans.
Charlton v Posh at the valley was a close contest with the match being decided by the inept referee James Linington awarding a penalty against Page despite the only appeal coming from the panto villian Evans. Posh were flying then and we were still finding our feet.
A draw would be decent but we are well capable of winning. I don't think Bowyer will put Reeco or Wilberforce in ahead of Fosu ?
Peterborough impressed me at the Valley and I did think they would be top 2 contenders. But we played well too that day and did not deserve the late defeat. This is different. Taylor is a big miss and they will be up for this. 2-0 to Peterborough with 2 wonder goals from range.
If you’re worried about Arsenal’s injury problems in defence, they’d call back Callum Chambers from Fulham well before they think about Bielik.
For sure, Bielik is a very good player, especially at this level, but they won’t be thinking a young player performing well in League One will be able to handle the Premier League.
You were the last to rock the blazer and slacks look Less a coach, more like a coach driver And now a suit, but worn with none of the grace and poise of Oliver Hardy
A playing career cut short in a time when tight shirts and short shorts would have done you no favours. A chippy, barrel of a forward north of the wall, who may have struggled to get past the chippy.
Now a pitch-side pit-bull, A crumpled, sweaty mess after 90 minutes of other people’s efforts An outlier on the club-doctor’s BMI chart. Port Out, Starboard Home is your club’s nickname The implication of class and elegance, an anachronism. Pork out, Scotch & Ham would perhaps fit better.
You bought Boston and Creepy to the promised land. Your best years. Although probably best not to Google that first one. A move to the land of the white roses started promisingly but quickly wilted, prompting a return to a more familiar level
A home defeat Angrily marauding up and down your area, shouting in the face of the fourth official as another corner goes against you. The spittle barely drying between assaults.
Wide-eyed rage and pointing at the men in black who calmly ignore your conspiracy theories as they wait to be escorted from the pitch.
Storming down the tunnel Accompanied by fickle boos and jeers but not by your players. Slamming doors and throwing things Like my daughter when someone has used her hairbrush.

I would go for for this, looks a bit weak on the wings as both wingbacks dont get forward too much , but playing RHF makes no sense at all to me.

Due to the large following, fans are urged to get to the ground with plenty of time before kick-off to avoid congestion getting into the stadium.

Time he came back for his annual hamstring pull and lay off.
If you mean a transfer......then you're barking up the wrong tree. He ain't going anywhere this window. Trust me.
