Charlton vs Leyton Orient - Pre-Season Friendly.

I'm not too worried about team performance.
It's still only a squad practice game, to give everybody a decent run out, to build up match fitness and stamina.
We won't start with a best XI until the final friendly or 2.

i have to say i've not been a fan of Payne so far, but he has looked very bright in this game. Let's hope he can do that during the actual season. The amount of loose passes from our CB has been a bit concerning, however taken with a pinch of salt as it's pre-season. Let's hope that don't continue into the season. Get that shit out your system now lads lol!ValleyGary said:Payne is our only player that can skip past people in central areas. I don’t mind him at all.1 -
I'm on my knees praying, we're being drenched and battered by rain driven horizontally by strong winds. Sunny Cornwall? You're having a larf.KBslittlesis said:

The sun finally appeared, rain stopped so the goats were allowed out & mucking out had to be done.
Back now for the last quarter 😊
Maybe there's hope for deluged, bedraggled and very soggy Cornwall.....?
Keep the faith 😊

Is how I'd probably start the first game of the season.
I'm expecting Lloyd to get some game time and show why he'll start ahead of Thomas, and I'm also hoping a new striker and a new wingback come in, and maybe McGrandles or a new midfielder to come in and mean Fraser plays further forward and Payne drops to the bench
I know there is plenty of time left but I want at least 3 or 4 who walk straight into that team and another 4 or 5 that give better cover than what we have got. At least 3 or 4 need moving on as well.
Still plenty of time to go, but we are far away from being a promotion team as things stand.4 -
The famous DJ left foot getting a showing there0
-
Really hope DJ can find a club. It’s a friendly yes, but he looks heavy and totally disinterested.8
-
Hector is vital to us. Like men against boys.11
-
Hector | Campbell | Payne have been the pick of the bunch from this group of players... Not really noticed McGrandles too much, not necessarily a bad thing.
Elerewe and Asiimwe have been the standouts of the Academy Players - But dont see any breaking into the First-Team on a regular basis from the "showing".
DJ really doesnt have a future here.3 -
A lot of work to be done, hopefully the new owners will back Holden and give him what he needs.5

Absolute borefest.
a few of them need to find new clubs and some of the youngsters need to go out on loan.Orient were better for 3 of the quarters.
We only looked bright first 15.2 -
Standard pre-season friendly in the sun. Minutes in the legs and I’m sure Holden got a couple of confirmations on the people that really don’t wanna be here.7
-
The last 30 mins the worse of the lot. Kanu needs a loan out an NLS or NLN team just not looking ready for fully professional football, DJ looks like he has lost another yard of pace and cannot turn the opponent at all.
Hector the only player who looked ready for the season.
I would guess first game of the season looks likely to be a draw.1 -
Well that's 2 hours of my life I'm not getting back. Working from home today with a plan to watch this. Actually ended up working for the second hour.

Sounds like I was lucky I had a meeting at 11:30am, after watching the first 60 minutes.3

Delighted Bakrin played well.0

While I agree. Given the ownership uncertainty and how far along into the summer we are, it probably not realistic. If I had to guess, I would expect a starting fullback and starting midfielder to come in and a reserve center forward (as cover for Leaburn injury) and a reserve midfielder to come in.J BLOCK said:

Still plenty of time to go, but we are far away from being a promotion team as things stand.We are probably going to have to live with the likes of our youth (Ness, elewere, bakrin) as reserve center halves, either Asiimwe or Chin as a reserve wingback, McGrandles/Payne as reserve midfielders and one of Campbell/Kirk/DJ out of position as backup forwards. Not ideal. Feels like a slightly better than mid table club to me but we will see.0 -

Well if we can’t beat little lower league Leyton Orient that’s a major concern. Hell of a job to be done before the start of the season and we start playing league rivals. Who we got first game?10

The loans, and hopefully we use them properly/well this time, will be the key.Bostonaddick said:

5 players on the level of JRS and Sessegnon suddenly makes it a completely different kettle of fish.
I get the need for some sort of consistency and longer term planning but that's a lot easier in the championship. Bowyers team was, in all honesty shit or bust. I think we are probably slightly better off now than when we kicked that season off so we can certainly do it in the time available.4 - Sponsored links:

Reminder of our team that day. That squad wasn’t getting in the playoffs, never mind getting close to the top two and winning them.Cafc43v3r said:

I was only half watching the game. People shouldn't expect too much, the players will have had an intense week of mainly physical training, so the football side won't be ready yet.
We do desperately need more strikers though, as playing 352 with just May as a recognised striker just doesn't work. Chelsea showed last season that you can have all the midfielders in the world, but without someone up top you will be ineffective.3 -
