  • Thought this would be tough when the fixture list came out.  Not so sure, now.
  • 2-0 Charlton

    Just saw this, hopefully positive for us.




    Oh to be a fan base that doesn’t rate a player that’s apparently worth £32m !!!! That’s more than our squad I would think 
    not even Ramsays left leg!

    I know they haven’t been great but let’s not forget they have been a premiership team more often than not the last few years whereas we have been league one ! They will click eventually let’s hope it’s not this week.

    happy with another draw here 
    Agree, apart from the fact it is the Premiere League! But your concerns are valid, they still have a nucleus of top tier players, however still struggling with the rigours of the Championship. It is an interesting conundrum, heard in many pub discussions, how is the mindset of the players, do they still think they are better than the majority of Championship players, and consequently don't put in the required effort to match second tier teams, or is it the hunger of the players and management in the league below to put one over the relegated teams with parachute payments.
    In the end it comes down to fine margins, the start we have had, home support and advantage, the managieral nouse of Nathan.
    I'm going for a close game, 0-0 again or a close 1-0 win for the Addicks.

    2-1 Addicks. Fast start from us and Kelman scores first half, then they pen us in a bit. We bring on our finishers and Leaburn or Knibbs bags one on the break assisted by Tanto. Then they score and it's backs against the wall until the final whistle. Kaminski to make at least one worldy save to earn us the three points.
    Thanks so much. Hardly worth watching now I know what is going to happen. You might at least have had the decency to head your post with a large SPOILER warning for us ordinary mortals who are not gifted with second sight.  :s
    If you're going to make a prediction, do it properly! And knowing what is going to happen doesn't put people off watching porn, and this will be every bit as exciting so I would still watch if I was you!

    Another clean sheet????? Someone has to score against us at some point lol

    which is why I’m going for a draw 1-1 as we aren’t firing in attack yet to score 2 I don’t think given the opposition 
  • Mavididi will need to be watched.

    Might be stretching it a bit to score that many...😉

  • Can we wheel Yann out of retirement for a one-off? He was always particularly special vs Leicester.
  • Would love to see miles get a start

    It seems really toxic there at the moment. Great time to be playing them. Saw their fans complaining about players walking straight off the pitch after their away defeat to Preston. They're on the players and manager's backs. 
  • Fancy a win this weekend - maybe 2-0 to us. Another clean sheet, Kelman and Leaburn.
  • Fatawu is the one that worries me up against Edwards. He is fucking rapid

    Subject of a £28m bid from Sunderland, so may have his sights elsewhere, which would be handy..

    This is why it’s the perfect time to play them, still getting used to winning, half the squad want to go or can’t be bothered and the rest are young and inexperienced so should hopefully be able to be shepherded by our excellent defence
  • I can't call this. Every game is an intriguing test of our newly upgraded squad.

    On another note - why do we all follow the Charlton to Leicester in particular, as well as over land and sea?

    Fatawu also had a fall out with fans after he called some of them out for not backing them following Preston on Insta. In terms of teams on paper Leicester could easily pump us 4-0. But based where both clubs are in terms of environment we have every chance of coming away from this game as a win but would definitely take a draw. 
  • 1-0 to us. Zach Mitchell comes on and scores with the last header of the game. 
  • …and we go top of the league 
  • Oh by the way 1-0. Last minute goal. Leaburn.
  • Great time to be playing a team like Leicester, loads of players will be trying to get out of the club before the end of August, and may be 'playing a little less than full capacity'. The likes of Winks, Faes, Madivi, Fatawa and even James Justin won't want to be hanging around in the Championship with a WC at the end of the season (not including Winks and Justin in this scenario obviously). Once the window is closed I expect them to settle down, and stabilise, but these next ten days will doubtless see a lot of movement through the 'Out Door', and not many coming the other way.
  • 2-0 to Charlton.
