My prediction:

We are magically solid defensively for the first time in ages but can’t score because May is out.  It’s a charlton thing 👍🏻

I kind of forget we had Aneke in a way, if we can find a way to get him on the pitch with some regularity then our squad looks completely different 

ForeverAddickted

Bloody hell, the teams are out... Coin toss is done, we're now having a minutes silence for the recent disasters (?)

Its only just turned 3pm, is this sort of thing allowed? - If this was at the Valley, we'd barely be out of the tunnel

Apparently for the one year anniversary of the Queen dying.

Not feeling confident, but excited to see how it goes.

And we're off. Charlton shooting towards the home end first half.

ForeverAddickted

Early FK midway in our half, C.Campbell clipped after breaking past their man... FK came to nothing, gone for a Goal Kick after a long ball tried to find CBT

ForeverAddickted

Ooo long ball finds Leaburn who out muscles their CB... Goalkeeper was in no mans land, but Miles' chip only went for a throw to us

Sold out away end

The excellent black kit helps but we look a much bigger side than lately.  Cant be bad.

Ball gets lofted into our box... Their player wins the header, but Isted gathers comfortably

That’s the stand you get in your third year of a football club owner simulation.

Poor camera position, one corner of the pitch is blocked by the roof of the stand!

   Corner, Stevenage. Conceded by Lloyd Jones.

I hate to say this but if heading a football really does cause Alzheimer disease there's going to be a few people playing today who could be in trouble in years to come.

Really? I think he's dealt with danger pretty well apart from slipping

Is it a bit quiet on here today?

Abankwah slips over on the far side. Home fans start chanting "Abankwah! Abankwah! Abankwah!" or something that sounded very similar at least

Well I jinxed that. I like the confidence just wasn't the right situation to try that. 

Chunes

Abankwah showing real inexperience there. Almost cost u

Attempt saved. Louis Thompson (Stevenage) right footed shot from outside the box is saved.

ForeverAddickted

First warning there from Stevenage, shot from distance just wide of the post... Isted may have had it covered.

I can add comments from BBC, but they will be a bit behind the game

Honestly how is that not a yellow. 

They should have two. I don't care what minute of the game they happen in.

@LouisMend

Stevenage hit the side netting from outside the area - Louis Thompson's shot looked like it was going in one direction only but it's just wide
