Spoke with a colleague who is a Forest season ticket holder, Brum were woeful on Saturday and the score line somewhat flattered Forest. Heart says a win head goes with a draw. Never let my heart over rule head. A tight 1-1
Who remembers the home game v Forest in our promotion season of 1998 ?
Forest were top or near top & it absolutely lashed it down & very windy.
We beat them 4-2 and my abiding memory, is all the disabled fans in front of the West Stand getting absolutely "mullered" in the stormy conditions.
I also recall the 2-1 win over Cloughie's team in January 1977, on their start of their run to League 1, then Champions of L1 and then European Cup winners.

Forest games are usually very good.
Didnt we beat them in the Cup 4-1 at the Valley that season too? - Or was the the following season?
Certainly remember going to both cup and league game
Another very good preview by one of the Charlton Life resident Journalist. We were dealt a rough hand when the fixtures were announced. Didn’t think we’d get too many points out of August but the lads have exceeded my expectations thus far. Another tricky game tonight. Forest are a good side. We’re on the google box so not expecting a win. If we get a point, I’ll be happy. If we win, I’ll be over the moon Brian. If we lose, sick as a parrot 🦜
I am useless at predictions and always err on the side of pessimism anyway. One thing we have learned about Bowyers addicks is that they regularly defy the doubters, and through hard work, team spirit and no little ability are consistently better than the sum of their parts. So however our opponents compare on paper, I don't think this team can ever be written off. I don't think any result would surprise me tonight, but all the while we remain unbeaten you have to believe we can pull off a win particularly at home.

I think the result could be anything. I wouldn't be amazed if we won or lost by 4. I'll go 2-1 to Charlton.
Looking forward to this so much. A proper European Giant back at the Valley under the floodlights.
Sure beats Fleetwood.
Either Hamed or Oztumer to come in for Leko and then hopefully the ball can start sticking up top a bit more. We had very little possession in the attacking third at Oakwell because Leko isnt currently playing as part of a team. He is doing his own thing and its thent very easy for a defence to swamp Lyle.

I’d be tempted to throw Hemed straight into the starting line-up tonight.
You’d image all of Forest’s research on our team doesn’t account for Hemed - he could throw a spanner in the works and free up some space for Lyle.
I am away at the moment. Has there been a management decision to shift mid week games to Wednesdays or is this a one off?
Live TV game.
All midweek games on Sky.
The rest will be Leeds.
Apparently you can press the red button and pick between six different Leeds games.
One day Leeds will realise the reason they don’t get promoted despite being favourites every season is because as the season is going into the final months every team they play against will have seen them on the box umpteen times and listened to the expert analysis of their players, plays and weaknesses

All the while they're spying through the bushes at training...

this is a cracking benchmark tonight. It will show if we are actually a decent side or if we are punching above our weight.
i think I’d take a draw but think there will be goals 2-2

Leko’s pace off the bench as well.
4-3 either way.
Ariana Grande at the O2 tonight so plenty of traffic.

Everyone will expect to beat us
And even better for them we will have played Derby twice by the end December so they won't have to show us!
