If it gets us promoted I love it, if it doesn't I hate it.WestStandPete said:Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but what do we think about VAR being used in the final ? I’m not a fan personally. Most decisions seem to take an eternity to reach & even then not come to a correct decision. I can see a penalty being given in the game, particularly with all the holding & grappling that goes on at corners. Hopefully that goes our way but this game could turn on a dodgy VAR decision.7 -
Going to post something similar to this tomorrow (a guess who game on Charlton players) but I'm switching it up a bit.
If anyone wants to watch something Charlton related, I asked 11 different Charlton groups/individuals to help build an all-time Charlton fantasy XI, thoughts?

Cracking post but “a slip, missed chance, an off day and it’s done” doesn’t do much for the heart!conleylad said:this is my first post apart from saying i will wear the 1947 cup final shirt. my father took me first time to the valley in 1953 and since then i have experienced the highs and lows of followingthe addicks and you know some of the lows have been accute in the last few years . I saw the 7-6 huddersfield game but also cried all the way home when we lost 4-3 to blackburn in 57 i think it was, only needing a draw to go straight back to league 1 as it was then. Im very nervous about sunday but that comes from seasons of disappointment , what I will say is I think that what the manager has brought is hope , hope for a brighter tomorrow irrespective of sundays result for the club /team/supporters. Play offs area lottery , a slip a missed chance an off day and its done . I will continue to follow the reds robins addicks whahtever, whilst there is still breath in me . Really really hope and pray for our win ., none of this " I just want to enjoy the day. I want us to win " for all our sakes1 -
Because we were shit in the playoffs and that’s all they watched all season. It means nothing.ElliotCAFC said:I'm surprised how quite so many "Pundits" are saying we're a boring team who will do anything to suck all quality out of the game and nick a 1-0. As if we're prime Wycombe under Gareth Ainsworth.No one is watching our games more than us, and we know we are a good side.13 -
That bloke on Taylor is old enough to have seen Mendonca, Hunt, Bent, Di Canio.Braziliance said:Going to post something similar to this tomorrow (a guess who game on Charlton players) but I'm switching it up a bit.

I can’t deal with the Song and Coquelin picks.
Probably could have done with asking some older fans too.3 -
Only 2 more sleeps.

An Appleton signing, at least he left us one good memory. Gilly is such a well rounded personality, little seems to ruffle himking addick said:7 -

I dreamt about a penalty shoot out last night... But I couldn't actually see them being taken, I just heard the crowd reaction. We were 2-1 up and the cheer for the Orient second sounded like our lot cheering and it had been saved, but then someone said they had scored... then I woke up.1

You can't leave us up in the air like that mate, get back to sleep and finish Orient off ...🤷♂️Algarveaddick said:I dreamt about a penalty shoot out last night...

So many factors in a playoff final that it’s hard to predict the outcome. I am taking some confidence that so many times this season (post-Crawley debacle) we have found a way to win.Nerves are definitely building now! Whatever happens on Sunday, NJ and the team deserve huge credit for the turnaround and will be able to look forward to next season (hopefully in the Championship!)2

So we can take it as read that it will be pissing down all day then...🙄Sheepie1985 said:Weather Update for Sunday - currently forecasting intermittent sunshine with a small chance of shower around 11am1 -
Saw a headline “ Charlton mistake in January gives Orient the edge “ thinking what the hell that about and it was us selling Edmonds- Green to them !!!!!!5

Yeah, even Josh Parker was unable to trouble their keeper.golfaddick said:
The 2019 match wasn't pretty either. Apart from the goals there wasn't too much goal mouth action. Phillip's saved one early on (finger-tip save round the post) and Lyle Taylor had a dipping volley yards over the bar. Apart from routine catches from corners that was about it.fenaddick said:Don’t think this will be a pretty game. Orient have the ability to play nice stuff but NJ will want to turn this into a physical battle as we have stronger, fitter and bigger players. Orient will need to go into the last 15 mins at least 1/2 up if they are to win. Our CBs should get some chances from set pieces if our delivery is good enough and the idea of REG having to deal with either TC or Godden and then Aneke gives me some confidence.
Orient do have pace, notably Agyei but he tends to play on the right where we are defensively solid.
I’m slightly worried about our CBs giving away a penalty at a set piece. They aren’t as blatant as Beckles have been but they do love a wrestle. Gillesphey used to do this all over the pitch but part of his upturn in form has come from him going for the ball and not the man.
I think we’ll just about have too much for them but if we score it will either be in the first or last 15 mins. The 60 in between could be incredibly painful to watch.3 -

Hope to see a photo of you wearing the ‘47 shirt in one of the post match threads. 👍1 -

It's not true that most of time the decision is wrong. You just get to hear about it more if it's controversially wrong. Agree about the delays though, and common sense is often removed. A drip of sweat hanging off the end of someone's nose shouldn't make them offside for example.WestStandPete said:Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but what do we think about VAR being used in the final ?

Edit. As previously posted, I don't mind it being used on Sunday.0 -
Pretty well the fault of Wycombe. Proof that it’s down to them? Compare the 0-4 game to the first leg. They clearly set out to stop us playing. The last 15 minutes showed what can happen when we do get into our rhythm.cafcsinger said:To be fair we are a pretty tough watch generally speaking. The two games against Wycombe were proof of that.The home leg wasn’t a terrible game. It wasn’t sparkling, but under the circumstances we played okay when they let us.6 -
I think the final will be different, although finals are often cagey so I’m not expecting much, but Orient will at least try and play football against us which will make for a better gameJamesSeed said:

Out of our whole squad the only player I would be proper nervous about seeing come on is A.Micthell, he's got a Naby Sarr moment in him, and not an amazing cross field ball...

Hopefully that'll be the kind of BeckenSarr moment that he shew in the game against Burton where he broke up the Albion attack, turned and brought the ball upfield before playing a very good ball out to Watson on the right wing, who then provided a peach of a through ball for Sniffer Dog's first goal.Kinsella87 said:Out of our whole squad the only player I would be proper nervous about seeing come on is A.Micthell, he's got a Naby Sarr moment in him, and not an amazing cross field ball...
Or the moment in the second half of the same game when he headed home ConCov's pin-point cross.
Just for once, how about we focus on the good things that our players bring to the side instead of calling out a Mitchell mistake, TC not being effective recently, Anderson not being suited to our midfield and hopeless on the ball etc.9 -
The nerves have ramped up even more today2

At the moment I don’t feel nervous, I can’t help but think it’s because I never expected us to be in the playoff final given where we were in December.
That being said, tomorrow/Sunday morning, I am sure it will ramp up!4 -
Picking an all time Charlton team is only possible if you also talk to the older folks, like my Dad who’s 93. Once they are gone, we’ll have to rely on books or videos of them speaking because the bits of video evidence are scratchy.The Red Robin said:

If someone even suggested Lyle Taylor or Coquelin then you may as well ask Benny Hill or Ken Dodd.4 -
