  • I’ll get slaughtered for this but I wouldn’t mind betting we don’t see much of Dixon at all. Certainly not this season. If ever. 

    Dixon feels like the wild card signing.
    Doesn't fit like a glove into 3-5-2 but if we need a plan B and when a slow full back needs exposing we need to be flexible and tweek our formation as on days when  both wing backs are struggling we need the attacking wide player like Dixon or push Campbell wider as I still like to see forwards go past defenders in slightly wider positions.

    Will Kahiem Dixon be involved any time soon 🤔
    Probably, not this side of the new year.

    None of us have much to go on, but Campbell is eligible for Jamaica yet Dixon gets in the squad and he doesn't which maybe says something.

    Or maybe the Jamaican FA aren't aware and we should start a campaign like the one that got Ben Brereton Diaz called up for Chile...

  • i reckon another defeat or two, and the Bolton manager will get the tin tac.

    So negative and boring zzzz
  • Too be fair to Golfie, we’ve all been worn down, and dragged down with negativity following this club, as we have literally been mismanaged and abused as a club for years.

    The fact we are, as been pointed out 7 points better off than last season, is not to be forgotten or sniffed at.

    I actually thought, before the season started, that we had a tough start in store at the beginning of the season, so far, so good!

    Tougher tests like Birmingham and Wrexham lie ahead, (The month of October is another massive test)  but we just need to focus on one match at a time.

    The season we were last in the championship, and ended up getting relegated, we had a tremendous start, I think we were in the top 6 after 6 games, but all went wonky when going into November, we had 15, yes 15 players injured at the same time, so much so, we ended up bringing in  at the time a 16 year old lad into our midfield from our academy who is now playing non league football.

    I know this is Charlton, and we’re all looking over our shoulders, always waiting for something to go wrong at any given time, but please can we as fans, not just relax a bit, and enjoy the fact we are not on a downward trajectory at present.
    For now!

    I think he means Vennings, he was 18/19 at the time rather than 16
  • That's Ahadme's full name. Gassan Ahadme Yahyai
    So why would the BBC choose to use the part of his name that nobody knows and isn't on his shirt? More bollox from them.

    They are probably just using a sports news feed from a 3rd party provider like many of the football scores apps out there…
  • Where Charlton Athletic lead, others follow ?

    Mikel Arteta, who lost both Rice and Ødegaard to a red card and Injury before the North London derby came out with the Charlton fan's mantra.

    "We won Ugly" 😃
  • Why even speculate on that?

    No one has seen him play in England so why bet he won't make it? Why set any expectations at all, just give the kid some time and space.

    He might make it, he may not, why not just enjoy watching him when he does play and maybe reserve judgement untils he's played 20 or 30 games for us.

    There seems to be a very negative and binary mindset among many on here right now.

    For example, players are deemed either no good or so good they will be sold in January.

    We either win or we're shit and even if we win, that's not good enough if we haven't scored half a dozen worldie goals.

    And being 2nd is a negative because we might get promoted and our team won't be good enough for the Championship.

    It's like worrying you might win big on the lottery because you may get begging letters.




    Yep.

    My worry is that if I win big on the lottery my wife's going to pressure me to stop sending the begging letters.

    But you also have to remember that if we only score worldies then there will be criticism that our goalscoring isn't sustainable in the long run and we're not creating enough, just relying on moments of brilliance. Relegated by February.

    Listened to 30mins of Bolton Fanzone  on You tube, they are saying Reading is must win game.
    Also that he handed in his resignation after the playoff final and was talked out of it.
