For anyone who’s not quite as up for it as the rest of us. Take a minute and a half of your day to watch this sky advert staring Sean Bean from the late 90s, if it doesn’t put hairs on your neck then football is gone for you, “It’s a feeling we can’t explain but spend our lives trying to explain it!”.

Happy new season everyone, up the charlton!1 -
I worry Orient will want this more. Newly promoted side, won the league, with new signings... Predict they'll come bursting out the gates and shock us first half. Hopefully we can fight back.
Also feel we're not quite there yet. Still a little disjointed and a team that's coming together.
2-2 (we snatch a draw after a half-time rollicking from Holden).
Looking forward to it!3 -
There’s a simple answer to worrying Orient will want it more, you and the rest of us have got to communicate we want it even more than they do by making a lot of noise from the off and getting behind the Charlton players and let orient worry about us.Chunes said:I worry Orient will want this more.

Great to be back but I think until we see what side we have on 31/08 it is too early to get really excited. Our defence has lookrd all ay sea in all the games I have seen in pre-sesson and Orient will look to exploit that. 2-2 entertaining but also disappointing.0

Why would Orient want this more? We're at the start of a new era, with new owners and a genuine expectation of promotion, unlike last August. We have new players and players fighting to keep their place with new signings bound to arrive this month.Chunes said:I worry Orient will want this more.

I think the first game in a new league having won the championship in the previous season is a more exciting prospect for Orient.killerandflash said:

Yeah we have a 'new era' but we're coming off seasons of intrepid disappointment. Things are looking brighter but we're not coming off a promotion season, we don't have their mood.
Some of our players will no doubt be suffering a hangover of nervousness / lack of confidence from the last few.
Let's hope this feeling is wrong and we bloody crush them.1 -
With heavy rain predicted all day tomorrow are we confident the game will go ahead?0

I want to see us dominate games and to be competitive all over the park.
Will be interesting to see how we do in attack as we still look a little light of attacking options
2-1 to the addicks0 -

Important to note Orient are without Drinan and Agyei0

For me will depend more on where the player's heads are at than pure fitness or match fitness (obviously both important). First game of the season, players wanting to impress, hopefully a large crowd. New players and any promoted youngsters (Asiimwee and Anderson) will be nervous. Holden seems into the psychology side of the game and I hope he has prepared them as, like most sports, the game is played in the head as much as the physical side. A win will massively boost confidence. Going for 2-0...1

Just a quick question do they do Guinness? In ground2

Stole my thunder.LargeAddick said:squad not good enough, couple of new signings not fit yet, one senior striker, playing a promoted team - CAFC 1 The Orient 3
Best you stay at home & visit the missus. The game will live up to all of your expectations.
We must be the only club who signs
8 players in the summer & less than half start the first game.....with the other 7 or 8 starters being part of the dismal performances of last season.
1-3 as above. Only not in the bottom 3 because teams start with points deductions.

3-0!2

I saw Orient back in February against Rochdale at Brisbane Road. Sadly, Darren Pratley wasn't treading the boards that evening but that other expert exponent of the dark arts, Omar Beckles, was serenely marshalling things at the back. It's difficult to really judge given the weak opposition on the night, but I was very impressed with the O's right winger, Theo Archibald, and whether we play three at the back with wing backs or a flat back four with Thomas as a makeshift left back, I think he could well give us problems. The other area that slightly worries me is defending set plays, where we'll miss Leaburn's height and aerial ability.
Speaking from a position of relative ignorance - having not seen any of the pre-season games - I'd rather go with a 4-3-3 formation in the absence of a second striker, thereby giving Blackett-Taylor and Campbell the opportunity to utilise their pace and trickery and push Orient deeper. Orient will doubtless press us to try and force long balls, where Alfie May will be up against big and competent defenders, in consequence of which, we're likely to concede possession.
A difficult game to predict but, given that newly promoted teams are best avoided early in the season, I wouldn't be surprised to see this one end all square.4 -

Doesn’t sound like we should expect Taylor, Edun and Jones to feature too much to start with based on Holden’s comments yesterday. As Russell Slade once said, be patient.0

They're slow enough serving lager or an instant coffee in the kiosks, can you imagine how long it would take to pour a Guinness
