Too many gift wrapped chances from us and not enough tinsel in midfield to last out the bleak mid-winter before those wise men from the east turn up with some gold (subject to EFL approval, of course).
2-1 QPR0 -
Not had a chance to read the comments but kust seen on sky Johnn WIlliams has pulled his hamstring in training and Sam Field still injured when we were hoping they'd be back onthe bench. APart form rotten luck with injuries, why are so many breaking down again just when it seemd they were ready to play again? I blame Roland! But seriously, are they training too hard in some way? It does seem odd as if something isn;t quite right1

Going in hope rather than expectation. Thoroughly fed up with the current run involving injuries and multiple last minute concessions. Bowyer also culpable with his continual changing of the defence and playing wrong players in certain games ie Sarr at the scum and Ledley at Boro.
Not sure why people continually go on about us being ok once injured return. Others will get injured ie Pearce, Williams is always injured. Only a big investment in January will save us and the EFL appear to be doing all they can to scupper that.
More finally smelling the coffee come 5pm as we wander wearingly and disconsolate back across London in the pouring rain.

Field did it while at West Brom and Williams is made of glass.PrincessFiona said:Not had a chance to read the comments but kust seen on sky Johnn WIlliams has pulled his hamstring in training and Sam Field still injured when we were hoping they'd be back onthe bench.

That was me the day we went to Pompey two seasons ago, that and a day out, having a drink or two, thinking a noisy Pompey crowd and our form up until then (apart from a midweek win) wasn’t likely to get us a result that day. It was only getting through the turnstiles as the game kicked off that it was clear that something special was happening with Charlton’s support and both sets of players responded accordingly, ours upped their game and theirs shrank. A liquid journey across London sets it up nicely for a repeat.bolloxbolder said:Going in hope rather than expectation.2 -
Last time I was in the lower away end at Loftus Road, we lost 5-1. I'm expecting a difficult afternoon.....result/shit seats/fractious fans/probably getting soaked etc etc0

Christ Almighty some of you lot are a bundle of happiness this morning and the sooner you get to the pub the better. Merry Bloody Christmas! Keep the faith COYRs!1

Can't remember how many we took in November 1970 for our biggest margin win 4-1 in my lifetime but there was plenty of us and some in the wrong end until we got repatriated by the Old Bill 😈. Mike Kenning on the scoresheet that day. However any margin of victory would be more than acceptable but I'd take a point right now.
Seasonal greetings are warmly reciprocated FA and thanks for the previews, keep up the good work and you Sage 👍.
A serious question mate, in those days of no segregation what was considered the section the away fans would go?0 -
Just about to set off, come on you reds, my money is on a 3-2 win.0

Most standing fans would be in the end we are today and if you wanted to sit you usually were in the stand on the left as you look at the pitch today.ElfsborgAddick said:

It wasn't mate most grounds had their home end like we did in the Covered End but once you were inside a ground you hadn't been to before it was pot luck hence the police escort round the cinder track in 1970. Crazy thing was old bill didn't believe us at first and thought we were looking for a ruck in the Charlton end lol. Good job my mate had his provisional driving licence on him 😉.ElfsborgAddick said:

Kicked off after the game down the Uxbridge Road when we came under a hail of bricks and bottles and I sought refuge in Clarkes shoe shop, still here to tell the tale though 😎.0 -
The key to the match is extra time. If we can keep the stoppages to a minimum we've got a chance.0

Nice to see the 'i' paper has taken a @AFKABartram quote about where people eat Christmas dinner for our match preview today

Was there with my soon-to-be- wife as guests of her boss who was a QPR fan. So reckon i was one of a handful of Charlton fans in the main stand. Our away form at the time can best be described as shite so wasn't expecting much. What a surprise...we were very good on the day and I certainly didn't sit on my hands! Needless to say I wasn't invited back!!RedChaser said:Hats off to the 2,900? travelling to the Subbuteo stadium near the Bush tomorrow.

...as for today can't see us repeating that feat; another defeat on the cards and then prepare for more vitriolic comments from the many 'keyboard warriors' who seem to dominate social media these days. Doom and bloody gloom merchants one and all.0

I can see us sneaking a draw but we really need a win 1-10

Been in Belushis since 11 am.
Totally full of Charlton.
Brilliant atmosphere.

Fancy us to nick it 1-0.1

Wish I was there - the fact I’m not should give us a chance of a result - fingers crossed - COYR!!!!0

I would take a point right now. I fear a defeat though particularly as I have broken my cardinal rule and bet on a Charlton win...0

Not feeling too optimistic in the light of the injuries but the team has fight and hope springs eternal. Thanks to RedChaser for the memory of Mike Kenning’s two goals back in 1970 or so. I remember as a little kid being staggered to see us 3-0 up at half time on Grandstand, as we ended a run of 30 odd away games without a win. I think that Ray Treacy may also have popped one in. I feared a QPR comeback but it finished up at a 4-1. Incidentally, a really good black and green striped away kit from memory.
A fairly local trip for us, so popped into Brew Dog Shepherds Bush and a then on to a good beer selection in a relatively new place, Prairie Fire at Wood Lane arches, which does some very good BBQ sandwiches and burgers etc. It is next to the behemoth Westfield, with the now shrouded Grenfell a short distance away. Only 11 minutes from the ground..
I have yet to see us score a goal at Loftus Road, including the dispiriting 3-0 FA Cup defeat to Fulham, so hopefully today will break the duck. I hope that Albie plays, as we desperately need to compete in midfield and retain possession.0 -
Hopefully we might see defenders actually jumping at set pieces.0
