    It’s a pre season game lads. Jesus some have started bed wetting already 
    So what do expect from Charlton preseason v Gillingham preseason. Which manager is going to be the happier would you say. 
    I’m with @TheHerminator in this. It’s a pre season match. A new formation is being tried with youngsters like fullah being given a start. I would hope the manager is as interested in how younger players and newer players are bedding in as well as the score.

    Feels like we can’t much from these games when you’d hope we still have at least 3/4 starters still to sign.

    Hopefully things start moving on the transfer front this week.

    It is not the score that matters but the player performances. And would expect are players to perform/look better than Gillingham. Gillinhams

    Am I missing something? The only thing close to 'bedwetting' on here is people moaning about the stream.

    There's about 2 comments on the game and the rest on Kelman getting injured.

    Interestingly Tanto has switched to the right, Redmond "Trialist" to the left

    So ridiculous comms still calling him "trialist" literally everyone knows who it is

    Clearly they are keeping Redmond, 'cause if not they are keeping him from getting a spot elsewhere...

    Yeah, they've obviously been told they have to, but I'm saying that is ridiculous

    Looked like a shoulder knock/injury, taken off as a precaution really

    Must win game this.

    If we don't, I can see us getting relegated this year, dropping down the leagues and going out of business.

    Say we are going up, say we are going up. Isn’t that how it works? If we lose we are destined for League One, if we win its promotion?

    Nearly 2-0, would’ve been a OG from a TC cross

    Is it just me or is the pitch quite slow?

    That’s why we keep Burke despite his injury record. Big goals like these

    The first 60 side played against a regular Gills side, the last 30 side is up against kids, so you'd expect our last 30 side to look better.

    That's probably our most important goal since we returned to The Valley.
