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.

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.
