The Charlton stream has been working perfectly. CAFC are streaming from the East Stand (so you can't see how empty it looks below) while Villa are streaming from the West Stand.
Williams, Aneke and Lockyer definitely the highlights. Taylor does look to be missing some of his swagger.
I also like the look of Oshilaja who has been quiet but effective and Purrington is his usual solid self down the left.
I hope Taylor is just not fit as he looks slow and indecisive to me. We are in huge trouble if he can't make the step up. I am interested in seeing Bonne in second half.
El Muhammdi a threat on corners / free kick. Grealish very good. Jonny Williams looked good. The rest of the midfield less so. Charlton short of a few players still.
Charlton looking quite good, loads of positives from the game so far, the season starting to look promising already. This is turning out to be a great warm up match with the weather just perfect for a game of football.

Villa look like they can open us up but defensively we've been pretty solid.

New kit looks rubbish on the telly. Big white tips on socks always make players look leggy. Just my tuppence worth. From the 35 minutes I saw I think we look solid but powderpuff. Lyle looks as though he’s still on the beach.
Half time and I really fancied a cup of tea rather than another beer but there was about 100 pints of lager and bitter already poured and lined up at the kiosk I was at so it seemed rude not to...
This isn't a true test as we're playing effectively a Premiership first XI but there's enough to suggest solidity if not the ability to create much from midfield. Aneke has looked impressive and JFC has put himself about without linking anything much up in the opposition half. Our one weakness cannot be spoken of as it's his big day

Now back on and 1-0 Villa.
Ideally need 3/4 midfielders and 2 strikers.
Williams Aneke and Lockyer have been big positives for me.
Dont expect too many 90min performances but expect him to come off the bench a fair few times again
Not impressed by Lockyer - looks too hesitant to me. Aneke seems reluctant to shoot.
Can see Villa scoring again.
Grealish looks an utter knob the way he strolls about.
