I can imagine me saying aloud tomorrow afternoon, 'Of course we're 1-0 down. OF COURSE WE ARE!' then kicking the washing machine. Then hurting my toe after kicking the washing machine just as the second Millwall goal goes in.
I like Bowyer and the team but even without all the injuries, i would be expecting to go over there and see a defeat. With the injuries, i'm virtually certain of defeat but you just never know, hence why i keep going
I don't think I've ever been so uninterested in the derby.
I feel in recent weeks we've run out of legs and rotation options meaning we have lost our edge just in time for this game.
Them 3-0
Sadly have to agree with this. Young players like Gallagher should not have to play 90m every game. He has looked a bit off it recently. Bonne is still adjusting and a few bad games could knock him back a lot. We have been lucky so far with injuries to the defence, otherwise we would be further down the table. The chronic lack of fitness of Hemed and Aneke have been exposed, given Taylor's injury. Bowyer has no striking options on the bench, and without Williams too much is falling on Gallagher and an unconvincing Oztumer in the attacking midfield.
If not for the injuries we should have been looking to a good run against sides lower in the division after a tough run. But injuries have made that less likely-and we could have a bunch of suspensions coming up.
A good owner would be looking to strengthen the attack in January. Just saying.
you say unconvincing but 2 games ago we played better or equal to west brom, the league leaders at their place. Oztumer had a cracking game there. We were only suspect at the back and the wingbacks not getting back (as millwall fans have pointed out), baggies had worked us out. Plus Kayal is back to fitness and the young striker made his debut v baggies so could be an option!
“It’s probably my biggest frustration, in truth. It was frustrating for Charlton fans, because you’ve signed a player you think is going to play and looking from the outside they think that he is just injury prone. But I’d hardly been injured before then.”
“It was tough. You almost feel guilty in that situation – because you’ve signed for a club who have wanted you for so long. Curbs had signed me to play with Richard Rufus – quite a good combination.The two of us retired with the same injury within the space of a couple of weeks."
Owes us a favour then...
In all honesty Rowett is someone I've always liked when he was a player with us and as a Manager - Would happily have him in charge here one day

Here we go again. We’re dipping in form, they’ve got a new manager. Millwall win, as standard. But we’re in the Championship. We won’t get relegated. Happy days.

A lot of people could learn a thing or two from this outlook. Highly commendable.
Lets just be honest here. 4-0 Millwall. We again do not turn up. We then watch the flat cap brigade dancing to Status Quo for an hour before they finally leave the ground for the police to then let us leave.

Gallagher to end the hoodoo with a sublime 25 yarder.

Sadly, I have the same expectation.
If most of us as fans had not been totally embarrassed by successive "no shows" over countless years...
C'mon lads carve a footnote in the history of Addickdom.
3-1 Charlton (Gallagher, Bonnex2)
2-1 to Millwall.
The good news is I'm usually wrong.
But we’re in the Championship. We won’t get relegated. Happy days.
23 years of hurt.
One constant. Lee Bowyer
2-0 Charlton (Bonne, Gallagher)
v Millwall
We will beat the spanners tomorrow.
Done Deal
