With the atmosphere of a home checkatrade game, Charlton are back in action after 105 days with a league fixture versus relegation buddies, Hull City. With 9 league games to go this is a fixture they cannot afford to lose if they want to stay in the Championship next season. Team News: A fully fit squad to pick from minus the 3 who have decided not to play anymore for the club this season, Solly, Davis and Taylor.
This match will lack even the atmosphere of a Checkatrade game. It will lack even the atmosphere of a game on a recreation ground on a Sunday morning, with 12 blokes and a dog watching. This whole business of forcing a finish to the season in the Championship has been contrived just to allow promotion & relegation without legal challenges, to prop up the Premier League. It has nothing to do with boosting fans' morale or serving the integrity of football. And the price may well be the lives of footballers or their loved ones. If one relative of a Championship footballer dies from Coronavirus caught during one of these matches and brought back to their household, that will be unforgivable. I would rather see CAFC relegated than have that on my conscience. Good luck to Lee Bowyer and the team, but this whole business is wrong. Also, I don't think we will avoid relegation anyway.
My match prediction: 2-1 home win for Hull City. Bonne or the Nabster to get our goal, probably an equaliser early in the 2nd half (or 3rd quarter if they are doing the drinks break thing in the Championship). My predictions are usually wrong. I hope nobody comes back to London with the virus. Chances are that somebody, somewhere will catch it at one of the games up & down the country. Stay safe everyone, whatever you are doing today
Agreed. However, whilst I want them to lose every game(unless they are playing palice) I do not have too many issues with them.
