PR disaster

Charlton Athletic 1 Exeter City 3
I”ll leave our mascot experience for another post because it puts the club in such a positive light I don’t want this one to ruin it!

Equally the people behind the idea, funding and hard graft that encouraged almost 25,000 people into The Valley yesterday once again made me extremely proud to be a Charlton fan and everything I have witnessed and heard about the new owners so far has impressed me greatly.

Shame about the players then.

It was a truly disappointing performance bearing in mind the effort everyone else with some affection for the club had made but those of us long enough in the tooth know how we all too often are let down.

Monkey hanged

Hartlepool United 2 Charlton Athletic 1

I tried very hard to ignore New York Addick’s unenthusiastic but veracious post after the win against Peterborough on Saturday. I have a tendency for my heart to rule my head, and I think a lot of us are in the same boat when it comes to Charlton at present. However tonight’s display- according to the radio anyhow – was nothing short of dismal.

It was painful listening to the Player commentary and for only a few minutes did we ever sound like we had any control of the game, and frustratingly it was at that point that Eccleston scored and a better team would have gone on to be easy winners, but we reverted back to type and continued to lack unison and ideas and it wasn’t a surprise that we fell behind again.

The radio commentator didn’t help my mood and I lost count of how many times he said that this was the 5th game on the trot that we had fallen behind! Mind you co-commentator Craig Hignett proffered some good observations but only helped to highlight our shortcomings.

One half wonders

Charlton Athletic 3 Peterborough United 2
Does it really matter if we only play for 45 minutes? Chris Powell’s 4th win following a stunning 2nd half performance, that followed a dismal first 45.

I’ll try not to dwell on the first half for too long but we sounded second all over the pitch and constantly compounded our problems by keep giving the ball away. Doherty and particularly Dailly sounded every day their combined age of 68 as Mackail Smith and Tomlin gave them a torrid time and we were lucky to be just one down at the break which was met with frustration from the stands and some boos.

The biggest cheer of the first half came when the referee went over like he’d been shot by a sniper from the East Stand, and then followed by the loudest applause when he left the field on a stretcher. The club should consider producing an end of season referreeing highlights DVD such are the kerfuffles we have had down at The Valley this season.

Huish little Bradley

Yeovil Town 0 Charlton Athletic 1
Some nail biting moments in the 2nd half but another very welcome 3 points as the Chris Powell revolution gathers some speed.

Whilst the goals were flying in in the Premier League, one would do us at a very windy Huish Park, only the 2nd defeat in 9 for The Glovers. The first half sounded dyer, although it is hard to blame Alex! But the 2nd half was a lot better. BWP missed what appeared a sitter, but he would get another chance.

Just after the hour a good break involving Anyinsah and Wright-Phillips saw us win a corner and from that BWP smacked home a close range header. At times we were hanging on, Fry almost scored an own goal that would have been replayed forever and it was nerve-wracking stuff but we held on despite another long period of injury time.

Bournemouth, Southampton, Oldham and MK were all pegged back late to draw, others won but the win took us back into the play-off places.

Addicks at Huish Park: Exiled Addick.
CA fact: Chris Powell became the first ever Charlton Athletic manager in it’s history to win his first three matches.

Those men referee’s huh?

Charlton Athletic 1 Colchester United 0
This afternoon I was tucked away in a big conference room underground searching for both daylight and a Blackberry signal. I was doing a half decent job (I think) of paying attention to what was going on in front of me on stage but surreptitiously I was refreshing my Twitter Blackberry feed furiously to see what was going on at The Valley.

Perfect

Charlton Athletic 2 Plymouth Argyle 0
A perfect start then to Chris Powell’s reign as Charlton manager. I think at this stage of the re-birth it wasn’t about the performance yesterday but more the result and the players showing some positive signs of better things ahead.

Chris now has another week to work with the players and the coaching staff to further put his personal stamp on things, such as set-places, which by all accounts continue to be awful. I liked Dave’s comment commending Simon Francis for his accuracy. As a former full-back I’m expecting Powell can improve the distribution from out wide.

From the commentary it did sound like both Francis and Fry did a fair amount of overlapping (I’d be interested to hear if that was correct). This would be something influenced by Powell I would presume.

Spoils shared in Sheffield thriller

Sheffield Wednesday 2 Charlton Athletic 2
If whatever Chris Powell said to the players before the game is an indication of what is to come, then bring it on! Charlton came flying out of the blocks yesterday at Hillsborough and were two-up before I’d even settled down for the commentary. No disrespect to Keefy but perhaps Sir Chris should have given the players another pep-talk at half-time!

Peacock and Damian Matthew do deserve a lot of credit for how they set us up though with Waggy playing behind Anyinsah, they both really hurt Wednesday in the first half and there sounded better performances from Francis, Elliot and Semedo to name just three.

It sounded like an enthralling game on the radio and I would have taken a draw before kick off. We owned the first half and our counter-attacking was reminiscent of our better away performances at Peterborough and Swindon. I look forward also, to seeing Robbie’s penalty save in the highlights.

Woeful

Charlton Athletic 2 Swindon Town 4
The last time Swindon visited The Valley Addicks fans ended the evening distraught but with at least a sense of pride. There was no pride this evening, just despair.

From start to finish this was a woeful display. For the umpteenth time this season we were lacking in ideas and any kind of creativity. With our first meaningful attack Johnnie Jackson scored again, this time from a lucky deflection and we were fortunate to see the goal stand. TV replays showed a handball and an offiside. But it did and it was a great opportunity to push on.

But we didn’t, Swindon continued to dominate while we just launched long balls forward and the midfield ran around in circles trying to work out Parky’s 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 system and Swindon fully deserved their 41st minute equaliser.

At the break Michael Slater would have been hoping along with 14,000 others that Parky would demonstrate some managerial skills. He didn’t.

Fight back

Colchester United 3 Charlton Athletic 3
I didn’t manage to get over to Colchester on Saturday (about an hour from where we were staying with friends), but sat in front of the BBC’s Football League Show last night to watch some highlights of what must have easily been the best game in the division yesterday and they gave us a couple of flipping minutes. They didn’t even show Benno’s disallowed goal. What a joke programme that is.

Anyway onto the game…. once again we just don’t have enough about us to dominate games against 11 or 10 players, a problem that both Brighton and Southampton don’t seem to have. However to come from behind 3 times showed a lot of character and it has been rare this season that Addicks have had cause to complain about lack of fight within the side. Whether come May this alone will be enough only time will tell.

Charlton fans, eh?

Brighton & Hove Albion 1 Charlton Athletic 1
My brother and I before the game: If we get a point we”ll be very happy.
My brother and I after 10 minutes: They are there for the taking. We need to just wrap this up.
My brother and I at half-time: Bloody typical. That is so us!
My brother and I at full time: What a load of rubbish. We should be winning these games.

Charlton fans eh?

Pools panel

Unsurprisingly tomorrow’s game at Hartlepool is one of 11 games called off in the country due to snow and frost. Pools have been on a good run, so maybe a long journey to the north-east is best avoided.

It wasn’t long ago that we were proclaiming that the players had played too many games, but by the time we take on Southampton on Boxing Day we would have had just 3 games in 30 days. In the previous 30 days, when we were knackered remember, we played 9 games and didn’t lose one.

Come Boxing Day we wouldn’t have scored in the league for over a month – Paul Benson’s tap in at home to Bristol Rovers the last. Anyway a more important statistic is that we will now have three games to re-arrange in the new year and our cup run will only add more congestion. That was a joke.

Charlton in defeat to bottom team shocker

Charlton Athletic 0 Walsall 1
Not for the first time this season we were woeful in front of our own fans, the only thing different this time was that we lost. No wonder The Valley crowds are falling. It seems that to get into the promotion spirit you have to travel the length and breadth of the country.

Mind you, if you have been following Charlton long enough, i.e. for more than 8 weeks then today’s result was no surprise at all. The bottom team without an away win since August and an away goal since mid-October only had to turn up, especially as our players didn’t.

Birthday wishes

I felt better about myself this morning. When I looked in the mirror after another restless night’s sleep. Tired after another night out, suitcases under my eyes and more chins than a Chinese Yellow Pages I still looked a hell of a lot younger than birthday boy Parky, 43 today. Happy birthday Phil.

According to the local news Rochdale got covered in snow today and Saturday’s game must be suspect. With four games in eleven days coming up (including two televised) a postponement will not be welcome. Meanwhile the SLP is suggesting that Semedo and Racon will be offered new contracts. The Frenchman was widely expected to be sold in January to any suitors before the season started but from what I understand he is playing his best football of his Addicks career right now.

What I did miss last week was the loan deadline. The most surprising move in my mind, which appeared to go almost unnoticed was high flying Bournemouth selling their top scorer Josh McQuoid to Millwall. He’s on loan at the New Den until January when they will sign him permanently. McQuoid has scored 12 goals this season for the Cherries and with the FA still enforcing their transfer embargo on them, even the impressive Eddie Howe may have his work cut out keeping them challenging.

Mikkel and dimed

Charlton Athletic 1 Bristol Rovers 1
I have to admit I was quite worried about last night’s game. It had all the makings for me of an upset so in the end I was pleased to take a draw.

It was a frustating afternoon for me. A busy work day spent mostly out of the office meant I was unable to follow the game except for some concealed glances at my Blackberry. However upon reading the reports it sounded like a decent performance and we had plenty of chances to take all three points. So I look at it that Rovers grabbed the unexpected point that Yeovil should have done on Saturday. It can work that way and the Gasheads will be rightly pleased with their week’s work on the road.

Chances of an appeal? Sweet FA

Charlton Athletic 3 Yeovil Town 2
An exciting game at The Valley on Saturday ended with another 3 points after Johnnie Jackson hammered home a 85th minute penalty, after Akpo Sodje was hauled down in the box. Well tickled down anyway.

Paul Huntington was sent off for that challenge (2nd yellow), the same man who ran 60-yards to convince referee Whitestone to send off Christian Dailly for an alleged elbow. I have to say the video clip looks like he led with his arm, even if was lacking intent. I hope the club can find another angle if they are to pursue the FA with an appeal because the FA have a habit of turning their noses up at us. In our favour is that both Yeovil player Sam Williams and manager and ex-Welling United defender Terry Skiverton said it was a clash of heads after the game.

Five star

Peterborough United 1 Charlton Athletic 5
Yesterday I spent the duration of the game sat poolside in the autumn sun sipping on a rum swizzle catching up with an old friend from Chicago. Across the glistening and heated pool was Castle Harbour and lush rolling hills and palm trees.

It’s easy to take Bermuda’s beauty for granted, and I often do, and it’s not very often that I wish I was in Peterborough instead but believe me I would have given anything yesterday to swap my lazy afternoon for standing behind the goal at London Road to witness with my own eyes what 1,358 other Addicks did, everyone of whom will justifiably be talking about this day for a long, long time.

Elementary my dear Benson

Swindon Town 0 Charlton Athletic 3
I was on the plane for the whole length of the game last night travelling back to Bermuda from Gatwick. The brilliant new Sherlock Holmes BBC series had taken my mind off what might be happening at the County Ground but once we touched down a fair few scenario’s played in my mind in the time it took to turn the mobile on and for it to obtain a signal but as Twitter burst into life the first few messages at the top of the page told me all I needed to know!

Thanks also to those of you that sent me the final result directly. But what a fantastic result and on paper probably the best one of the season and fine revenge too, after the heartbreak of the play-off’s.

And you were saying?

Charlton Athletic 1 Sheffield Wednesday 0
So my first visit to The Valley this season and I really don’t know what all the fuss was about!!

The team was gelled, rarely did they resort to the hoof, in the first half we passed the ball like Brazil, Lee Martin’s late touchline manoeuvre was straight out of the Samba textbook, in the 2nd half we defended like George Graham’s Arsenal, Benson ran his socks off, Anyinsah was his perfect foil, the pairing of Semedo and Racon worked together better than sausage and mash, the two old boys at the back must have been playing in a time machine, Matt Fry will be in West Ham’s first team by Christmas, Simon Francis for England, Waggy is the best youth product since Billy Bonds, Robbie Elliot never even owned a pink shirt, Emma from BBC Radio London has lied to me all along and if Parky is not the next England manager I will eat one of the many pints of beer that I consumed during the day.

Other Addicks at The Valley: Drinking During the Game; Addickted to Football; Charlton Casual; Mike’s Meanderings; Stickleback.
CA fact: On Academy Day Waggy was our 4,999th goalscorer.

Sweet music

Carlisle United 3 Charlton Athletic 4
Christ on a bike. What did we make of that?

My other half was poorly yesterday, so I stepped in taking the little ‘un to Music Together class. Sniffly-other-half shooed me out of the door at just after kick-off observing that she was doing me a favour after “how miserable you were last week!”

Adam from Charlton Life joined me at the music class. If you’re wondering we did have our kids with us too, we weren’t that desperate to be away from the commentary.

Around 3

6 points from the top and 6 points from the relegation zone the Addicks are sandwiched in a middle block of 11 teams separated by just one win.

Brighton sit on top despite drawing their last two games with 22 points. A year ago that would have seen them in 5th, five points behind the leader, which is proof enough that this season the league is much wider open. Gus Poyet has created a buzz around the club this season, hence the 3,400 Seagulls who will travel up to SE7 on Saturday. Like us though goals haven’t come easy for them, that tag goes to Peterborough and Bournemouth who are the division’s joint top scorers with 23.

Bournemouth have impressed under Eddie Howe after losing to us on the opening day. Despite selling Brett Pitman (struggling at Bristol City) Josh McQuoid and Marc Pugh have got 10 league goals between them and the Cherries have already played five of the top seven.

Carlisle are nicely tucked in 2nd and have the best defensive record in the division. Winger Matty Robson starred in the weekend’s win over Notts County and he will now be joined in attack by Leeds’ Mike Grella on loan for a month. Jason Price has moved to Bradford for the same period.

Argyle sweaters

Plymouth Argyle 2 Charlton Athletic 2
This game followed an all to familiar pattern of many others this season. We conceded early (4 minutes) and then seemingly we had no idea how to get back into the match until out of the blue Benson scored his 2nd goal in a red shirt from a Robbie Elliot goal kick.

Second half was a different story. We dominated proceedings with substitute Lee Martin and Kyel Reid a real threat on the wings. I was in the kitchen cooking egging the Addicks on as Clive Walker kept on telling us that it was only a matter of time.

Then as if on cue Yannick Bolasie rifled home from distance and it looked like another defeat on the road. But credit to the team as we grabbed a deserved draw when Gary Doherty, who playing as an extra striker, nodded on a Semedo cross for Benson to tap in.

I will take a draw and we remain just a point from the play-off’s in a very open division.

Buzz off

Brentford 2 Charlton Athletic 1

Well I’m kind of getting into my 3rd Division mojo, I reckon we could be living down here for a few years yet. Days like today do nothing to prove to me that Phil Parkinson has what it takes to get us out of this division.

It doesn’t matter what your ambitions are, but not beating the bottom team three times in a matter of a few weeks is not inspiring.

I really thought after Benson’s late winner on Tuesday that today with the benefit of a short trip and good backing we wouldn’t only win but win well. The first half performance by all accounts was nothing short of abysmal.

10 games in (12 including cups) and we have yet to play well this season but implausibly still find ourselves a point off the play-off places. This is a poor division and we belong in it.

Addicks deserving of at least a beer in each one of Griffin Park’s pubs: Drinking During the Game; Doctor Kish.
CA fact: We have now not won at Griffin Park since 1980.

The opposition view

Charlton Athletic 1 Franchise FC 0
Phew. As I have often done, I switched to the away commentary team on CAFC Player once I heard Emma open up her gob on the Charlton link, and I have to say I enjoyed listening to two blokes, slightly biased but knowledgeable and to hear them give an unblemished perspective on our individual players and team.

Charlton Athletic 2 Dagenham & Redbridge 2
I don’t know what Lennie Lawrence and Robert Lee thought at the end of Saturday’s game but at least they won’t have to go again on Tuesday. And I worry that a lot of other Addicks will be thinking the same this morning as a dark realism descends upon us. That stark realism is that for the first time in four centuries this could be our level for a few years.

Precipice

I dreamt last night that I was at the game tomorrow, and in the excitement I got lost confusing the Covered End with the Jimmy Seed Stand. Strange, but I was excited, I was, it’s a London derby after all.

Dagenham & Redbridge are surely the most merged football club in the country with the Daggers roots being in Ilford, Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Redbridge and Dagenham. Quite different from next Tuesday’s opponents who had their identity stolen and not combined.

As others have more eloquently said our season so far sits on a precipice. If we look down then it has been a season lacking in creativity, goals and continuity. If you look upwards then the season smells of a promising work in progress with no serious barricades in our way.

Rovers and out

Tranmere Rovers 1 Charlton Athletic 1
I got home too late from hospital to listen in to the game. From reading reports it sounded like we got off to a blistering start but couldn’t keep up the pace in the 2nd half and a point was probably fair.

How much we should read into this result after our 4-0 win at Prenton Park at around the same time last season I don’t know. What I do know is it’s proving more and more difficult for me to pass comment on team performances and our prospects for the season as unusually by this stage I haven’t even seen the boys play yet.

So I try not to be a fraud and take my leads from friends and other bloggers but then again hardly any one player is getting a run in the team at the moment and PP is making on average 4 to 5 changes a game. PP calls it “picking teams horses for courses.” I call it not knowing your best team and for me we still look like we are in an extended pre-season.

Notts undone

Charlton Athletic 1 Notts County 0
I was driving to a friends lake house in Indiana yesterday trying to sneek quick looks at my phone and it sounded a shocker, especially first half. Someone once said a win is a win but new team or no new team, we have to play better.

Goals and chances are becoming thin on the ground. Parky chased Paul Benson all over the east end during the summer, but the ex-Dagger has yet to score this season. I wonder if it is time to move Lee Martin back up front and bring our top scorer Scott Wagstaff back into the fold? Certainly that would give us more mobility.

Devon cream puffs

Exeter City 1 Charlton Atheltic 0
Addicks beforehand were suggesting that a draw would be a decent result yesterday, so I wonder if there would’ve been as much derision if we hadn’t lost to an injury time penalty, one which according to the Radio London commentator never was. Television evidence mind you points to another rush of blood to Miguel Llera’s head.

Despite the invaluable service CAFC Player and Radio London provides, listening to radio commentary will never replicate actually being there especially on days like yesterday when Radio London insisted on switching constantly to action at other games, such as the pearler between Hayes & Yeading v Histon!

As a boy I used to listen under the bed clothes to BBC Radio 2’s midweek sports specials and my young imagination would craft flawless images of the game being relayed from my small radio, but I learnt very young that there is nothing like being there.

Nonetheless the Radio London commentator did not need to be Peter Jones or Bryon Butler for me to decipher that it wasn’t much of a display by Phil Parkinson’s newly ensembled side at St James Park. Lacking in creativity and attacking prowess once again we never got to grips with the game and a point would have been more than we deserved.

Why Pardew went

I think I have mentioned this before but I have an old mate close to goings on at Southampton, close both financially and emotionally so after various snippets of information over the summer it was no surprise to me when I heard on the radio of Pardew’s sacking early this morning.

Everyone’s outright favourites, the Saints have had a sketchy, if hardly disastrous start to their Div 3 campaign but the timing of the dismissal of Pardew (his 3rd in 4 years) after their 4-0 stuffing of Bristol Rovers the weekend is odd to say the least.

There isn’t much doubt that Pards’ ego is as big as Hampshire but whilst his mind games and convincing turn of phrase got him his own way at The Valley Pardew came up against a fierce adversery in Saints’ CEO Nicola Cortese.

Yorkshire Puds

Huddersfield Town 3 Charlton Athletic 1
Not a wholly unsurprising defeat for us today in West Yorkshire. The omens weren’t good when my son and I tuned in and found out that 20-year old Ross Worner was in goal, with Robbie Elliot complaining of back spasms filling a place on the visitor’s bench.

It has been a daunting start to Worner’s Addicks’ career and despite sounding as if we were having a decent first half the ex-Woking keeper rushed out of his goal twice in two late first half minutes, once conceding and then just about avoiding to give a penalty away, only to see the resulting corner fly past him from a header.

Half-time and a game pretty much over that for 40 minutes we appeared to have the upper hand in. In the second half we just didn’t appear to have enough about us to get back into the game and unsettle a seemingly nervous crowd. Even Abbott had a golden opportunity to give us an exciting last 10 minutes seconds before Roberts got Huddersfield’s killer 3rd, but fluffed it after doing all of the hard work.

11 Dickov’s

Charlton Athletic 1 Oldham Athletic 1
Tough game yesterday. Oldham played like they were a team of Paul Dickov’s by all accounts and five minutes added on time belied the amount of time-wasting and ineffectual refereeing there was.

I was encouraged by the home support in those final minutes though, an apparent recognition that the team never laid down and that we should no longer expect to role over every team we play. Parky claimed that Oldham were easily the best team we have played and the Latics could well end up being last season’s Colchester United, in the first half of the season at least.

Solly good show

Leyton Orient 1 Charlton Athletic 3
A Charlton performance to warm your heart tonight in East London. After a decent first half with the ball being played along the floor more than is normally expected in Div 3, we held a 1-0 lead but after the break the O’s cranked up the pressure and ex-Addick Scott McGleish scored against us again and then within minutes for the second league game in a row we were reduced to 10 men.

Dailly’s second yellow was clumsy and with 30 minutes left I was sat at my desk thinking a point would be a good result. However Doherty and particularly Llera showed great resolve heading and kicking every cross away whilst in front of them Racon and McCormack formed a human shield.

Abbott ran his socks off and Martin was a clever outlet but it was Scott Wagstaff, disappointing in the two games so far who caused the damage with a finish that Super Clive would have been proud off to put us surprisingly back in front. Then a fantastic burst of pace down the right by Waggy deep into injury time ended with an inviting cross to be met by a jubilant Chris Solly to end proceedings.

Cherries picked

Charlton Athletic 1 AFC Bournemouth 0
One tries to temper the hope the first Saturday of the season brings. Last season Norwich and Swindon were great examples of how much the first game means in the whole context of the season but nonetheless getting that first win on the board is always important and that is exactly what we did this afternoon.

From the commentary The Valley faithful sounded right behind the new-look team and Akpo got the goal that our early pressure deserved. Kyel Reid tormented Bournemouth first half before understandably running out of steam in the second. Sodje himself impressed, and came in for some good praise on the radio.

Picking the top 10

I dragged myself into the eve of the new season by looking through the League One teams and tried to assess their individual chances and from that picked 10 teams that I believe will challenge for promotion.

The bookies have done what they always do and picked the certs or the obvious names but outside of the Premier League there will always be surprise packages and unknown players who come out of the shadows to have standout seasons.

Saying that it is hard to look beyond Southampton, but we know Alan Pardew’s weaknesses more than most. He has a huge squad, which is his want, and he won’t be able to resist swapping players in and out and no doubt will add further signings and loans in January. The points deduction last season alleviated a lot of expectation and pressure, that will not be true this time around and in fact rumours are constantly doing the rounds of the Solent that Pardew is on thin ice. Also will Ricky Lambert maintain his goalscoring consistency? He hasn’t always been so prolific, which explains why he plays in the third tier at 28.
