Totally agree, I struggle to see another side in the league who has significantly improved their squad. Not surprised 442 predicted us to slide, bear in mind we've got worse in every season in the past 6? 7? Fairly shocking stat. Just can't wait for us to prove everyone wrong, 2 league wins and a nice 4-3 home defeat to Reading so we can get out of our traditional nemesis cup with some dignity would suit me fine.
No, that was the 3 seasons ago, the first season at L1 level we finished 4th from memory, with Norwich and Leeds getting automatic, and Millwall beating Swindon in the playoff final. Swindon were that season's surprise package, a bit like Bournemouth last season. http://www.wednesdayite.com/voice/blogs/693-owls-blog-rivals-in-focus-2011-12-part-1.html This a blog by a Wednesday fan, the summary on Charlton seems fair Prediction: Given their transfer activity, they will certainly be challenging for promotion. Play-offs a minimum.
Not long now boys. Two more days at the madhouse we call work and then we are able watch the brand spanking new Charlton team! I can't wait. Regardless of what we are predicted to do this season. Im just hoping for a good result come saturday, then build from there. In a ideal world a start like our first season in L1 would not go a miss but in hope that it lasts a bit longer and when we do hit a bad patch it no more than a hiccup!
But you missed the most salient point ....... we got one more goal than you and until your team learns how to do that - your'e gonna struggle! to play badly and win is half the battle - just think yourself lucky we took it easy on you!
FourFourTwo must start writing the next season's predictions as soon as the season before finishes. They are so far off the pace. A good magazine, not as good as WSC, but their pre-season preview is useless. A few years ago they produced a report, with the help of Colemans, to suggest what clubs had the best catering. Not surprisingly, Norwich came top (Colemans!) with Cambridge in second. Apparently Norwich's meat pies were the tops. I had one the day we beat them 4-0 away and Super Clive had just joined up. Where did they source their meat from? An earwig farm? Yuck.
