My only worry is how lee and the boys will react to more losses than wins - not being negative but it’s completely different league up there, league 1 there have been some tragic teams Scunthorpe being 1 of them there is no one that bad in the championship so it will be a nervous season just hope we stay up and that he sells but who knows, suppose that’s just being a Charlton fan coya
If you think there are no rubbish teams in a league it probably means you’re the rubbish team!
Of course no one in the Championship will be as bad as those you mention but we've got to see these games in a similar fashion to games against those around us in the top six last season
The Valley HAS to be a fortress like it was last season, we'll lose more than what we did last time out but they have to be far and few between as we wont pick up much on the road
If ownership changes this week: hope springs eternal consolidation and survival in this division can be realistic If the helmet keeps his tentacles attached any longer then even Bowyer, Archangel Gabriel and The heavenly host will struggle to prevent the earliest relegation in division 2 history Things will get lively in SE7 but that won’t be football
Statistics show that league position matches the amount of the first team squad budget. The bigger the budget the higher in the league you get 90% of the time. So having the smallest budget will almost certainly mean mean the the bottom of the league for us.
One thing you can 100% guarantee, they’ll be some rumour doing the rounds coming up to Christmas , that a takeover is imminent, it’s like a perverse ground hog day tradition, we fall for it every time!
No expectations whatsoever until I know what kind of squad we have assembled in about three weeks time. That’s said, it’s hard to think that we will be doing anything other than fighting off relegation with a ream assembled from the needy, the desperate and the kids.

were all dreadful - i cant see 6 championship clubs being that bad.
Right - we are the lowest ranked team in the league (based on last seasons performance) and I would imagine fans of most other teams won’t be expecting us to finish above them - they probably consider us to be the worst team in the division as things stand. Without a takeover I don’t think that perception will change.

Always makes me laugh when managers get criticised in the PL for failing when you look at the mismatch in budgets. Would love to see Pep etc managing in L2 to see how good they are on a budget.
Given then lack of spending and the fact I think we will still have Roland all year, I would be satisfied with 21st. 42pts has kept teams up 3 of the last 4 seasons in The Championship. So hopefully a 25% win rate and 0.9 points per match will do the job. If we sell Taylor, I think we literally come in dead last.
Patience, Napa.
Let's see where we are in a fortnight's time.
If there are 5 or 6 players signed by then, with others promised plus the loans which will arrive late, as per normal - then I'll feel the jigsaw is being put together.
Hey, there might even be new owners. Get on your knees and pray, like the rest of us.
I think we will lose a couple more of the Wembley heroes before August and will start with a largely new team. That will mean a slow start and a struggle. If Duchatelet's still here I can't see a sale before next Summer. I expect the new caterer's to ul chil portion size to 18.
Is ul chil within the local authority food safety guidelines, because I’ve a feeling it isn’t? Up chip! Big fingers, quick mobile response!

These are the clubs we want to be challenging

Under new owners a top half finish would be decent.
