A good workout against a team quite some way ahead of us on fitness. Didn’t embarrass ourselves and thought Washington in particular played very well. Thought Gandalf on the right looked sprightly and Barker was also very good.
Think that is way more disrespectful than Golfie calling another poster Lawnmower Man. Who the hell is Gandalf meant to be?
2-1 flattered us. Celtic's passing and movement was far better and they pressed us for long periods. Worth stating that they played a lot of their youngsters too, especially second-half. They are much better than we will face week-in, week-out so it was a decent performance in the circumstances. Suspect Adkins will be pleased and will know we will be much stronger come 7th August.
I don't think Celtic looked that much better. Sure they pressed and passed more, but they only managed two goals.
I believe that we're maybe 4 weeks behind them in terms of training and that is all that showed. We came inches from equalising when playing half senior, half academy sides each half.
Standouts for us, for me, in each half were Elerewe in the 1st and Washington in the 2nd. Had thought the 2nd half line-up looked the weaker, but actually turned out the better of the two. Thought McGillivray could have done better with the 2nd goal & Harness needs to work on his kicking. DJ & Clayden with some good plays in the 1st half. A very decent showing given the difference in where the two teams are in their respective pre-seasons.

Missed most of the game due to having to cook a barbecue. Came in to get the sausages and caught our first goal and then came in for some Halloumi and saw the great save from their keeper to keep it 2-1.

It was a good run out. A couple of the younger boys have some serious pace, which we've lacked. Washington was a class above. Dobson was a little disappointing, but im sure he will find his feet. @Henry Irving I was able to watch the stream for 'free' too. However I checked my subscription I bought last season and it expires late August. Maybe it's the case for you too.

I dont know why Washington gets stick on here. He always makes a nuisance of himself and I'm sure will chip in 12-15 goals a season. Him and Stockly will cause opposition teams trouble this season I'm sure
Does Washington get stick on here? I think he's quite popular
There are some on here who seem to have it in for him. Maybe they expected a world beater when we signed a QPR castoff.

Celtic have been pre-season training for a few weeks now, compared to our first few days only.
They've played games also, which of course we hadn't. Everything about them would have been sharper, fitness and stamina ..... not surprising really that they were dominant.
As you say, a very decent Charlton performance in the circumstances.

Roddy slipped at full stretch. Any player slips sometimes. Unfortunate but can hardly be blamed.
