6-0 the last time I went to Oakwell. A repeat of that would do just fine. This Saturday I will be in Barnsley, but umpiring. If it’s rained off by 2 I’ll be hot-footing it there.
Happily take a hard fought 0-0. 7 points from first three games is a good return. Two weeks ago I was struggling to see where any points would come from!
Thos could be a real six pointer come May so we could do with avoiding defeat. But this is Barnsley and 6-0 aside our rwcord is mixed at best. 1-0 to Barnsley.
I thought we got promoted to get away from teams like this. Bloody dull yorkies.....
Since Charlton were relegated from the Prem in 2007 ....... in those 12 seasons, we've spent 6 seasons in the Championship and 6 in the Third Division.
In that same period, Barnsley have spent only 2 seasons in the Third Division and 10 seasons in the Championship.
" [Barnsley first team coach] Tonge said: “Charlton have had a great start and will be full of confidence. Certain people might expect certain things out of the game but it will be a really, really difficult test. We don’t see Charlton and Luton as newly-promoted teams, we see them as quality Championship opposition.
"Charlton had a very similar summer to ours in terms of losing a lot of players but they have kept the momentum. Lyle Taylor is a massive threat and a fantastic player. His goals to games ratio in the last year and a half has been up there with the best. They have dangerous players around him like Jonny Williams and Conor Gallagher.”
Hard to get any result in this league, would take 1-1 now, but will be hard fought. Tip of the cap to our band of travellers. Do us proud as you always do!! COYRS!!
"No team has fewer shots in the Championship than Charlton (14) - however, no team has scored more often than the Addicks (5), converting 36% of their efforts at goal so far this season."
Blimey, whoever thought we'd be regarded as clinical in front of goal?
Joint highest goals scored in the League (erm ... after only 2 matches, of course), from the fewest chances.
Excellent preview as always @ForeverAddickted. No mini preview from me this weekend due to having far too much personal work to do, I really haven't had the time.
Think we will go back to the diamond for this tomorrow and see one or two changes from the side that started last weekend.

This will not be as easy as some people think. Barnsley haven't lost a home league game for 17 months.
1-1.
In that case I can see this being one of those occassions where Paddy Power tweet Barnsley's updated home record after tomorrow's match, like they did with Luton's long unbeaten run last season ...

Oztumer is not going to be in the squad. Surely Chucks will be on the bench.
Although he only joined this morning, I would prefer to have Oztumer on the bench than Bonne who is clearly not ready for this level nor would he even come on. That’s why I’ve included him.
I also think we will look to have raw pace come off the bench in Leko than starting. That’s why I have included Aneke, as well as scoring after coming on last weekend, looking better when we went to the diamond and getting an hour into him on Tuesday.
Doesn’t mean that team will be the team, but that’s the team I would go for and wouldn’t be surprised if Bow went something like it too.
