Match Day Thread Wednesday home 18/10/25

I'm looking forward to this one, I have a few Wednesday mates and these would always be a cracking booze in the past.
I have always liked Wednesday, a cracking ground and from the mid 80's there has been a healthy exchange of players to either side. Who can ever forget Peter Shirtliff
Anyway, our home record is strong, as is our defence, if ever there was a game that needs Kelman to put the ball in the net then it is this Saturday. Defensively this lot are shocking, particularly at home.
Anything but a win will be very disappointing.

 

Our record against bottom 6 teams is 7 points from a possible 9.
If it does not become 10 from a possible 12 there should be questions asked.

We're doing OK but our second tier status is a long way from being assured. We need to be winning this one.
If Kelman and/or TC don't score or assist it will be a poor show for them.

 

It’s a funny old game - always a banana skin when you start to expect to win or want questions asked if we don’t - with this one we need to push from the start and keep the pressure on - I’m sure they’re thinking the same - if we have another poor first 20 minutes it’ll be a tough one

 

Thank you Greavsie.

 

November’s fixtures look daunting - I think beating a decimated team of Wednesday kids at home is a must.

 

John Pender, Bob Bolder, Lawrie Madden, John Pearson, Paolo di Canio.

 

MacKenzie, Watson, Williams.

 

I always liked Jim Melrose. Very underrated player.

 

Didn't play for Wednesday.

Granted that he was immense for us.

 

He’s active on Charlton social media these days and is very fond of the club.

 

Sorry I was being thick, I didn’t realise you were talking about ex Sheff Wed players. Doh.
I once played in a Charity Football match that was refereed by Lawrie Madden. Commentator was Jimmy Saviles brother. It was against an Undertakers eleven.

 

I hope they didn't get the measure of you...

 

They came on the pitch carrying a coffin.

 

Nathan Jones’ Press Conference today.

I hope he is asked about Godden.

A couple of weeks ago Matty told fans at the club’s Golf day that he was two weeks from playing again …those two weeks are up.

I know this is Charlton, where a nosebleed often sees a player go missing for six months, but the initial “out for 6 weeks” explanation in early August no longer washes.

 

He has had further problems with his knee. Had fluid drained from it a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think we will see him for a while.

 

It's our only home game of the month, what with the international break and our run of 5 away games out of 7, and I've got withdrawal symptoms. Wednesday have sold out their allocation and according to CL are planning a protest against their owner. NJ doesn't give much away about players' fitness so don’t expect to learn much about how the Jamaicans are. I hope to have a swift half in the Rose of Denmark first.

 

The landlord has been hanging on for you £2.25 all week.

please God we are not starting Kelman & Campbell again up front, it’s time to try something different.

 

Good info, if not good news.

 

Such is the need for points on the board I’m expecting a win. Nothing is guaranteed of course but I expect Jones to target games like this and really go for it. Am l expecting too much from NJ?
I’m going for a 2-1 win….hanging on at the death!

 

Wednesday players not paid & their long serving backroom staff leaving, I feel sorry for them.
