On 10th October 2009 I took both of my daughters to the Valley for the first time, to watch a drab 0-0 draw against Oldham. One became a season ticket holder, until old yellow teeth sacked her hero, Chris Powell. The other has never been back to Charlton, though she did watch us get promoted at Carlisle. Tomorrow, they will both accompany to the Valley for the first time in 13 years. I’m excited, but we should all expect a drab 0-0.
Having nailed all 3 results so far (albeit with a draw/win or draw/lose tag) tonight Matthew we’ll be Brazil1970 and win 3-0 or 3-1 and return to our rightful place of 5th in league one
Really big test this one. How we recover from our first defeat will be crucial to our season in my view. Plymouth come to us after a good win and both teams like to play. Should be an entertaining match, 1-1, honours even.
This will be a tough game. What has surprised me is that Plymouth seem to have kept all their best players, unlike the likes of MKD who lost a number of theirs, which is what normally happens when "unfancied" teams in L1 have a good season.
The midfielder Camara is in his last year contract and reported that he won't sign another with PA, and I think has been left out of the team. Really liked the way he covered the pitch, looked a good buy for L1 or maybe higher.
Home win - 2-0 - that’s if the game goes ahead mind - weather forecast for most of the afternoon into the evening is heavy rain and thunderstorms - I remember a game in the Prem days at home vs West Ham - weather was horrendous - I got off train at Charlton, to be told that the game was off (which didn’t surprise me) so simply walked over to the other platform, and went back to Dartford
Imagine travelling all the way from Plymouth, and that happening !!

I drove all the way from Nottingham to find out that West Ham Match was called off.
Think tonight will be this seasons version of Forest at home under the lights in our Championship season (except with all 3 points this time round). Everything just clicks and we look unplayable. 3-0 Charlton.
I'd be tempted to send McGrandles out on a 28 day loan into the National League (I would have done that the day after his sub appearance at Accy tbh), He desperately needs minutes and looks miles off it at present.
If we win we have had a good start to the season, if we draw average and if we lose it's a bad start..
I think Plymouth is a good test for us to see where our season is going.. I am feeling positive about our season, but we need to be beating Plymouth at home if we are going to have a good season
Pretty much how I see it. We should, by now, know who are starting 11 is as well.

Should have played for the U21s on Monday and had today off. Can't get match fit in cameos.

Agree. Worse case scenario give him 60 minute starts and he can be reserved for 5-10 min cameos if required.

Looking forward to it. Hope Stockley has been on the lucozade and grabs a brace.
