    A derby so you just never know but if we press them like we did Birmingham they wont be able to cope so Im going a decent 3-1 victory

    Hope Pratley starts. Can't see him handling our press well.

    If the potential to win a game against league one giants and local rivals Leyton Orient doesn’t whet your appetite then Charlton aren’t the club for you (or you are in fact sane and are bored shitless of all the waffle and guff trying to dress up the fact that we aren’t  a shit third tier football club with a previously rich history of having fuck all to do with this shithouse league )

    with the amazing thought progress of the Kasparov Charlton press enough to squeeze the life out of any opponemts a dominant dull 1-0 victory will keep the Valley freak show faithful happy and baying for more

    I'm looking forward to this one. On paper, we must pick up 3 points in these games and put teams to the sword. I feel like we're a team that if we score first we could win a game 3-0 but I don't feel confident of a comeback if we go 1-0 down.

    Always a positive to play a side where the goalkeeper is dodgy. Hope Jones is telling them to shoot on sight and put him under lots of early pressure.

    Bit of a grind but another 1-0 win will do.

    Would be more confident if Godden was playing but I think we will win 2-1. (Two clean sheets in a row is probably asking too much!)

    After months of indifference, feeling a bit meh about Charlton and wondering why I got another ST, suddenly I can't wait for when Saturday comes, along with all the old optimism. 3-1 Charlton - Gas, TC & Coventry. COYR

    Referring to Louis as our "Press"...as in " Pratley getting narky with LM's questions in the after match interviews".

    Don't worry, Chunes.

    Some of my posts invariably end up on stony ground.

    Must be an age thingy.

    3 points please and an encouraging ending to the transfer window, not the usual wet empty fart ending...

    2-0

    Alarm bells and tanking expectations, after two games, one of which we won.

    Madness. 

    Thankfully it’s a 3-0 home win tomorrow. 
    What are your thoughts on Saturday's game though? 😉

    I'm going bold with 4-1 Charlton. Gassman, Mitchell, Berry & Aneke with the goals for us

    With all the negative comments about their keeper he’s bound to have an outstanding game against us.
    Hopefully a 2-0 home win

    Orient came into this season feeling bullish and a 2-1 defeat to Bolton won’t have quelled that feeling in their fanbase - especially when they see they’ve got last season’s 16th placed team up next.

    We’ve played three decent teams back to back (if you include Pompey) and only given up a single wonder goal. Another clean sheet would be excellent but you can never bank on them because as Tuesday showed, sometimes there isn’t much you can do about it.

    I’ll put my optimistic pants on and go with a 1-0 or 2-1 home win. Ask me tomorrow and I might say 1-1 draw.
    I think that observation is a tad optimistic.

    The Portsmouth game was a friendly, the Portsmouth we played was a shadow of the Portsmouth that left Elland Road with a point showing they weren’t at full speed against us.

    Birmingham made 8 changes for the cup game and still won at a canter 

    Wigan was a good result despite the goal assist coming from a Wigan player 

    Compared to last season we look a lot stronger at the back but just as weak in midfield and a lot weaker up front

    Definitely didn't win at a canter. If we took the chances in 1st half we would have been comfortable. They hardly troubled us to the point where Mannion only made 1 save I believe. 

    This is a team that will get better as the season progresses.

    Have a bad feeling about this game, fear it will be 2-0 to them.

    I think your angle is more than a tad pessimistic.

    Not sure what evidence you have of the Portsmouth team that played us being a shadow of the team at Elland Road. The majority of the starting eleven, including 4 of the back 5, started both games.

    Charlton made nearly as many changes as Birmingham did & on another night we would've scored the penalty and gone on to win that game.

    Glad you're able to give the team some credit for going to one of the best home teams in the division and coming away with three points.

    Two wins out of two wins would be a fantastic start so that’s why I’m going for a draw . What with our lack of bite up front and the fact that we are Charlton and are unlikely to do things that easily . 1-1 ( Dougherty)

    Orient is a well coached side with a strong defense and good central midfielders.  However the three players who led their attack last year haven’t returned having been replaced by DJ  and Kelman neither of which have proven to be high level scorers(although Kelman has looked good so far).  This has 0-0 draw written all over it with a Pratley red card in the 88th minute

    You do know we sold Dougherty to Stoke years ago 🤣
