A game that is certain to be dominated by over sentimental tributes to a Charlton legend now plying his trade at Southend. Personally, I was never a fan of Harry Lennon.
If Charlton don't beat Southend it will say as much about how far this Club has fallen as it will about an ex-Charlton manager who now is trying to build something better at another Club where he had a long playing career.
What was the phrase ...”embarrassing mate” But not as embarrassing as allowing false Aussie takeover sh1t to run riot all Summer ..
Not going. I'll follow this on updates on CL. Given how RD treated Chris Powell, and given that SCP is the only manager in recent times to have achieved any sort of success with us, I'd certainly give him a huge ovation. I don't believe in going back to ex managers - it almost never works, but it terms of what he achieved and the climate he had to deal with, he's a hero. Back to the present, and I'll go for a 2-2 draw. If the new lad Cullen can finally get the ball to our forwards, we might even nick a win, but this is a battle of mid table clubs, so a middling draw seems most likely.
Okay, if the last couple of games are anything to go by, I'll have plrenty of time to hunt around between the two
Our two late loan signings have put me in a positive mood about today's game. I predict a 1-2 away win Up the Addicks!
I have a feeling Cullen might start today, with Ward coming off the bench. Hats off to Lee Bowyer for managing to squeeze the pips of what looked like a tiny transfer budget.
