    What's happened to Alfie May's beard?
  • Michael Appleton picks the team he feels is up to the job, and if that is the same eleven as the last match so be it.
    He is in the best position to choose, that is why he is the Coach.
    First win against Cheltenham tonight 2-0

    Charlton are on exactly the same amount of points (23) after 17 games this season as they were at the same stage last year. #cafc

    Why doesn't Appleton rate Watson? Bizarre 
    Maybe because he’s not our player…
    Neither was Josh Cullen

    Maybe by freezing these loan players out, Apples is making it clear to the clubs who own them that they need to be recalled. Probably wants to bring his own players in.

    I'm at Windhoek, where it is humid and threatening to rain.

    Alfie May saying we need to match Cheltenham? No we need to overpower, over work and out score them.

    What would have been the odds of two Addicks in Namibia at the same time?

    Maybe there are off field questions?
    Maybe we're managing an injury?
    Maybe Appleton believes he's more useful off the bench than Fraser would be?
    Maybe Watson is overrated?

    I’d like to see who he could bring in in Jan who is better than L. Watson. The others I might understand
  • Another capacity crowd at The Valley of Shattered Dreams:



    Team news: we're utilising the full squad in the upper reaches of the Cupboard End. Grandson no 2 is having a spell on the bench (he had football training earlier this evening and wanted to do that so he keeps his place in Holt U11 side) so granddaughter no 1 gets a rare first team outing.

    The first five games of last season we lost 1.

    The first five games of this season we lost 4.

    Same points, different trajectories.

    You may well be right but makes no sense to me freezing Watson out. He's looked really good for us.

    A period of applause for Terry Venables

    Well, we will see. If this doesn’t go well tonight, there will be questions.

    Cheltenham kick off and punt it forward but it's out for a throw.

    Terry calls Cheltenham "Carlisle" twice in the first 30 seconds. To give him credit, caught himself the second time... :-)

    Break in play whilst Tennai Watson takes absolutely ages to tie his laces

    AAARGH!! Buffering....
  • Header forward, almost puts Fraser through on goal
  • Eeesh... Hospital pass from Edun, to AMB... Almost gifts Cheltenham, but goes for a GK

    Not sure what happened there, but sounds like a dodgy back pass from Edun to AMB, and nearly intercepted dangerously in our box.

    Let off there as Goodwin gets a toe on Edun's ball back to AMB - goes out for goal kick
  • Pass CBT sometimes, can't do it all on your own all the time...
