Ged Roddy absolutely hit the nail on the head - “This club has been hollowed out from the inside by the previous owners”.
I don’t think our very own demi-god, Thomas, has a particularly high opinion of the odious Farnell. As well as getting it off our collective chests, it will hopefully impact upon Farnell’s attempts to worm his way into another club.

A lot of confidence on here and rightly so. Lets balance it with a bit of pessimism. Fleetwood probably deserved something in our last match and Gillingham often are difficult to beat. Still think we might struggle for goals this season. 0-0 and a bit frustrating.
Gillingham went on a 5 match losing streak before beating Crewe. Of the 5 games they lost, it included Portsmouth, Fleetwood, Ipswich, and Sunderland - all without scoring.
This really ought to be a fixture where our quality shows and we beat them, just as the other promotion chasers have done of late.
I'd love to see him start bogle and aneke up front against the caravan club. I reckon they would bully there two centre halves all game. 3 nil win I hope
Gutted we're missing going to this one. Always a good atmosphere there, even though it means sitting out in the open, which in late November might not have been too much fun. Recent results there have favoured us, but I remember going there in the FA Cup when in the Prem & losing after going in front.
I don't think either Pearce or Maddison will start & expect Gunter or Pratley to be in the back 4. No idea about the midfield or up front & wont be surprised if Bows does one of his tricks & selects a team/formation that no-one expects.
0-2 to the mighty reds.......and just fecking hope we play in red this time.
I don't think we have really got going yet. But the players we have, and the depth for the level we are in has started to give us results. This is what you would expect at this level, where if you keep putting the ball in the right areas, you will score. And if you defend well, other teams will find it hard to do so.
If the team is getting better as it becomes more familiar and fitter, we should expect the same results with more commanding performances. We also need to factor in that many sides have not got the resources to have big squads and Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday is going to increasingly work in the favour of teams that do.
I would expect Gillingham to come out hard at us, but if we stay strong, we will take control and eventually win this comfortably.
This is one of those games that worry me. When almost every Charlton fan expects a comfortable win, that's usually when we put in a shocker and fuck it up.
Hopefully this side is different though, and with the 5 subs rule now in play we have a lot of options. I think we'll edge it 2-1.
Feeling strangely confident about us at the moment and the Pompey game could be a seminal point in our fortunes this year. Almost a fully fit, confident, rested squad, and lots of permutations for Bowyer to use during the game if required.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Gillingham are going to get something from this game.
Battered.
Shinnie with the opener, Bogle to get overdue reward for all his hard work for the team before half-time, Maddy with a 25-yarder in the second half, before Lord Bowyer unleashes the Kraken in the last 20 mins with Mount Chuks monstering the centre-backs, making them cry like 3-year-old kids who have just had a severe telling off from dad, and bagging the fourth.
In a final, dramatic, twist the "Big Geezer" explodes with rage at the final whistle and collapses in on himself under the weight of his own gravitational field, creating a black hole at the Judas Priestfield Stadium from which no football can ever escape.
