    I think it's gonna be Karlan Ahearn-Grants year this year! More first team starts more goals from a very exciting young striker!!

    In training he is definitely seen as part of the 1st team set up. I am guessing that he is seen as the 4th striker for this season. That is the Roland way.

    So we learned what we already knew: we have a small squad and the players we do have are good enough to beat Welling. Marvellous. Now to get some more players in

    We lost last year
    Eh? I must be getting old and my memory playing tricks. I'm sure that we won 4-1 last year with a pen in the last couple of minutes. obviously imagined that.
    Yes it is. We lost 2-0 last year to a goal in each half...

    There you go then. All the years roll into one at my age.

    Year before perhaps; with a Piggott hatrick?

    Igor was sat about 5 seats to my right in the old stand. Hate to say when he got up he looked as if he was walking with a limp.

    I can also confirm that his missus (assume it was as she was sitting with him and had a shiny new wedding ring) is gorgeous....

    Mrs Vetokele is a bit special. Instagram is a beautiful thing.

    ...good finishes from KAG today.

    That's the one. Wonder where that missing year went.

    Back to today... I learnt that our first team can beat Welling and most of the kids aren't good enough at the moment to be near the first team. Also, Piggott is not the solution to our lack of forwards. Other than that, not much else. I didn't understand the split between 1st team in first half and youngsters in the second. Made the 2nd half really dull and not sure what Guy learnt from it.

    Is Kag that much improved?

    He looked sharp. But it was against an almost static Welling defence.

    Igor has had only 2 weeks off during the close season (to get married) The rest of time was rehab on his Achilles.

    must be, as he didnt feature at the end of last season when we were safe, but Luzon played Church & Co instead.

    Bonkers..........

    I wonder how much correlation there is between the welling result/performance and how well we've done in the following season? My guess would be "fuck all".

    I really hope so, I thought he did well, if he could have a good preseason, push himself forward as a 4th choice striker this season, ( or better) score 5 goals or more then he will have done really well.

    Saying that I saw Joe Pigott bang in a hat trick v welling, playing alongside Kermorgant, I waxed lyrical about him, thinking he was going to have a great season, you just never know ,who is going to break through.

    If you'd have said to me 12 months ago that Gomez would have become a first team regular, and get shipped off to Liverpool at the end of the season , I would have said really?

    Just realised , I put my thoughts on the wrong thread, I think it must be the sun yesterday!

    Really enjoyed the 1st half, as soon as I heard the line up for the 2nd half hoped it would be all right, but felt a bit short changed, as it was pricey to get in.

    Apologies if this has been mentioned and I've missed it. Apparently for the first time Charlton asked to share the gate money for the Welling game yesterday. This has traditionally been a money spinner for welling that pretty much finances their upcoming season. If true (I read it on another Charlton forum so have no reason to doubt it) this is a bit unnecessary and classless by Charlton.

    Well at 15 quid a pop I'm not surprised, maybe we thought Welling were taking the piss seeing as 90% of the crowd was Charlton fans anyway, and decided 16k would be handy to have, I mean it's probably most of KAG's or THD's wages for this season

    Nice that the people on that bus would have seen the first goal. That's my only reflection on the game.

    Thought Alex Kelly looked a good player in an otherwise drab second half. Confident on the ball, intelligent movement. Most of our attacks started with him finding some space and making a good pass.

    I know Charlton are nicknamed trainspotters, but it was pretty incredible how many buses go past Wellings ground, must have been one a minute, seemed like every bus in London went there, I guess it shows how dull the 2nd half was.

    Bit shocking if that's true, totally unnecessary

    I'm inclined to agree with this.
