  • You know we're in trouble when HappyValley hasn't been on here to predict a comfortable 4-0 win...

    4-0 loss, and we'll be lucky it's only 4.

    Solly will get sent off.

    JBG will get an injury that keeps him out for 6 weeks.

    Middlesbrough will get hit by a freak Tsunami that causes £180M worth of improvements.

    Fraeye will get the heave-ho and Katrien will announce the Catering boss as new interim interim head coach and claim that he was the mastermind behind all victories since the takeover.

    Roland will then contradict her by appointing his cat as interim interim interim head coach. Then he'll get carted off to the Belgium equivalent of Broadmoor.

    After intense psychiatric treatment he will realise the Charlton project was simply delusional and sell the club to a consortium led by Curbs and Varney. YAY!

  • I fear KF will have a similar impact to Les Reed and we'll suffer a routine 3-0 defeat.

    As others have written I hope he changes formation. In order to be competitive we need to overload midfield, I don't believe we have the players to play 442 therefore would welcome any of the formations mentioned including 3 CBs.

    A point at the Riverside would be a huge psychological boost, so I'd take a dour defensive battle just for the morale boost to the team - might be a bit hard to take though for those of us making the long journey up there.

    My prediction too.

    Frayes 'toughened up' Charlton strengthen up at the back with the return of Diarra.

    I think we'd all take a nil-nil and it looks attractive at 12/1 with bet victor.

    Home win and will be more interested in the rugby to be honest.

    A hearty and determined first thirty minutes. A late first half goal from borough. Floodgates open in second half. 5-0

    Got 22-1 for us to win 2-1 so took it. Funny old game as my Dad used to say. Blindly optimistic...

    I feel Karel Fraye will have as much effect as fromage frais on our season.

    I have already hidden the sharp instruments in advance of 5 o'clock...

    Doh! Just reminded myself where they are!

    Farewell cruel world...

    Just seen the stats on The BBC website ? don't make for good reading.
    The most telling for me was we've conceded the most goals from set pieces in the division. The goals we have conceded from corners when Big Mak was injured or off the field is shocking plus the free kick around the box where a combination of the keeper and the wall made mistakes.
    More work has to be done at the training ground to improve this record.
    There is no excuse.
    Lets hope the new coaches can correct these mistakes.

  • If we have to lose, it may as well be a big one, 5 or 6 hopefully

    Don't see Baas a holding midfielder.. He is in my view more of a passer than a tackler.. more box to box and has a decent shot on him...
  • We can't score and we can't stop the opposition from scoring. We do have a sofa.

    3-0 loss, (3-1 if we bring the sofa on at half time).

    If we have a player sent off early we have a ready made excuse.

    Agreed mate but that was the line-up today.
