Plenty of cause for optimism on saturday, but no points, so we need to pick it up again on tuesday against Plymouth. Very rarely an easy match, and they've started strongly again this year in a tight league. For us, the question about whether Stockley will be fit to go (that he started saturday while feeling 'under the weather probably says a great deal about the one area of the pitch where nearly every Charlton fan thinks we should strengthen), and if not who starts. Leaburn looks a great promise, but he shouldn't be starting games against this level of opponent on a regular basis just yet, while Aneke was apparently back in training last week but didn't even make the bench saturday. I'd like to see Rak-Sakyi at least om the bench or if not out wide, but I guess we will see. But we could do with a win to keep ourselves motoring along.
Funny old game, we got 3 points against Derby when we could have been buried in the first half, got zilch against Massives when we could have won the game in the first hour. Rak-Sakyi should feature at some point, he knows where the net is, same with Henry, Lavelle is our only defender who ever scores, and he looked very solid against QPR, so if we're going to do something about our lack of goalthreat throughout the team these 3 must be in contention. Looking forward to it.
Either way, I agree we should be looking for no fewer than 4 points from these two Valley games. That would put us on 8 from 5 played, probably upper mid-table.
I imagine its highly likely he'll be on the bench this evening. Will Chuks Aneke be on the bench as well?
Aaaaand 2-0. Plymouth down to 10, which looked harsh to be honest. Stockley causing lots of problems.
3-0 up at half time and now against 10 men... Surely even Charlton can't mess this up in the second half! UP THE ADDICKS!
