    Before anyone goes over the top ICT have finished in the top six of the SPL two years in a row now and ended last season in 4th.

    That's one way of looking at it. An alternative is that we just got beaten at home by a team that had had a very long trip and whose usual home gate is merely a couple of hundred more than the League Two average.
    Another way of looking at it - pre season friendlies mean absolutely nothing. They help for fitness. It's not as if we have a plethora of new players that need to get used to playing with each other - the core of this team have played together for a few years now.

    Stop moaning people, it's only a friendly, christ.

    A week before the season kicks off and we have no No.9 and no No.10 at the club. I'm worried and it was poor all over the pitch.
    Golfie hacked Dazzler!

    Well, Inverness doesn't quite have the population or catchment area of Charlton.

    Thought it was a decent run out. Their pass and press game was excellent, no individual stars, but a very good unit. With Yann not firing, we were always going to struggle. Piggy looked OK though.

    Back home. No cohesion to our play, lack of penetration, lack of width on the right.

    Sounds like one of golfie's dates!
    Oi, no need for that !!

    For what its worth, I don't know what all the fuss is about. Thought the whole team played well, outplayed ICT and were just unlucky not to score with the 3 efforts we had all game. Hope we play like that all season long..............

    I was really impressed with Dervite. Brought the ball out of defence a few times and looked really comfortable with it at his feet.

    I mistook him for a hesitant newbie. Slow and unsure. Any opposition front line with pace or guile will have a field day especially if no Hughes in front to offer protection

    with 1 forward 0% is pretty realistic, sign a couple and that will rise


    The probability that the sun doesn't come up tomorrow is 0%. The probability that Charlton finish in merely the top quartile of the Championship isn't.

    We could well be taken over in September and spend £5m in the January window for example.
    Like your thinking. nya

    Of course another way of looking at yesterdays result is that it was that type of no goals scored and sucker punch goal against is the reason we were not in the playoffs last season

    Don't know what's been posted previously but this is my two pence.

    It was only a friendly.

    Impressed by Gower, always found space, intelligent passes and kept the ball moving.

    Piggot did ok when he came on.

    I feel for CP, the squad and our fans because the fact we have 1 senior striker at the moment is going to completely fuck up our season if we're not careful.

    Never been a big fan of 4 5 1 anyway but if yesterday is anything to go by Kermorgant is going to be one frustrated individual.

    We need a busy, pacy player in c midfield

    Not gonna get carried away by the result but the people in charge need to let CP get in who he needs to get in. Easy for me to say and not my money? Don't care, sort it out.

    We won't concede many but we"ll score 12 in 46 on that showing.

    Just got home after a great day and night out in London, im rough as a badger and ive lost my voice but it was all worth it!

    Met a few Charlton fans who were all great lads and the hospitality was top notch, you have a great club and i wish you all the best for the season, defo wont be my last visit to The Valley.

    As for the game i thought we played ok in patches but not great, big Josh took the goal well and things are looking good for our opener next Saturday at home to St Mirren.

    No attack whatsoever, Yann goes for all the goal kicks and heads them 20 yards on to absolutely fucking no-one , or drops deep and looks for a pass, only to find the entire midfield has dropped even deeper to accommodate him! Harriott was still losing the ball by trying to many tricks, Pritchard loses concentration with the ball in dangerous places and Stephens just looks lost. Need a serious step up for next Saturday

    Thanks for all reports, gentlemen. I simply don't understand the point of playing one man up front, at home. We know that our midfield is weak - that is the reason why we lost all those games at The Valley last season. Let alone Kermorgant, I'm thinking of the long diagonal balls from defence to Harriott on the very edge of the wing - a perfectly accurate pass, and he has trapped it. Before he can even think of what to do with it there are three Huddersfield defenders in his ear. And where is our midfield to help him? They are thirty yards away, looking at him.

    So, we get a throw-in on the edge of their box, which changes hands. Someone else must take it. Trundle, trundle. Meanwhile, all the opposing defenders have matched up. Our man with the throw-in looks for a forward move - and there is nobody there. No movement; nothing. So he throws it back to midfield, which goes back to the defence, and back to the keeper.

    All momentum is simply given away; it's a precious gift. Am I alone in thinking: What on earth happens on the training pitch from Monday to Friday? It is especially pertinent, about Paddy Powell. Much beyond his skills and talent - and his ability to skin that Huddersfield defender - he was instinctive. So what happens now? We throw on Danny Green - who might score - by accident, rather than by design.

    Perhaps CP was making a point to the powers that be?
