I’ve felt confident about this one all week but with six hours to kick off, the doubts are creeping in. It feels like an important game to win.
When you look at our upcoming home games….this one sets the tone somewhat.
Bolton Blackpool Birmingham Rotherham
3 of those 4 are likely to be to be our toughest home matches all season so it’s important to go into them with momentum. It’s also a chance to make a statement to the bigger teams in our league. We want them to come here, not have a nice time, and to leave thinking “shit, Charlton aren’t messing around this season”
that starts today!

100% on the money mate ! Today can set the tone for the season. I’m sure NJ will have drilled that into the players. I’m fully expecting a high intensity pressing performance and excited to be seeing it. For once I’m not nervous about the game at all. 2/3-1 victory and the season is taking shape
Think we will win but a squeaky 2-1. Will be a bit more expansive than last week. Ahadme to get off the mark, Mitchell with the other from a set play. Some won't be happy with the football on show but a win is a win however it comes and we don't need to play pretty to get out of this pint league
A fellow Addick from Cork flew over this morning for the game & apparently there was another couple wearing Charlton shirts on the flight. He didn’t find out who they were. Anyone know? I’d love to find out.

There’s a couple that @guinnessaddick and I know called Mick & Judith. They’ve a place over there. Youghal rings a bell, but I’m sure G will know. They always drank with us in The Bull in Woolwich before/after games.

Oh I’d love to find out if it was them. Cheers Tel 💚

Good post. I think the one slight change of emphasis I'd make is that I'm more concerned with what our team thinks on match days than what the opposition think. I want our boys going out on the pitch thinking, 'we can beat any team in this league'. The best way to ensure this frame of mind is by beating everyone we come up against.
On the train to Charlton and what with the sun shining, the early kick off and the banter all down the carriage it’s got that old school bank holiday vibe about it. Obviously a selective memory is kicking in but I can only recall the ones where we’d turn the other team over…
Looking for some goals today, for us of course. We seem to have sorted out the defence so really that is the important piece if we are going to have a decent season.
I fear this won't be as seat as my previous prediction of 4-0. Orient were decent against Bolton last week, but we need to stamp an authority early this season. So my revised prediction is now 4 feckin nil. Let's ave it you Reds!!!

Orient were very good against Bolton apparently.
0-2 with both openers out for ducks?
Or 2-0 with 2 nudges down to 3rd man?
