I have been suffering with the post- Yeovil sniffles for 24 hours and full-blown man flu is in the offing. Hopefully it will turn out to be Swine Flu which will make the epic Yeovil trip even more memorable. Before that, however, I will be at the Valley tomorrow night for what is promising to be another strong Charlton performance and a convincing result that the elements can't deny us. There is a...

We're back at the Valley tomorrow folks where we are unbeaten. We are facing a red hot MK Dons side but they will be without three key players which might even things out a bit in terms of our poor recent form. As long as the boo-boys stay silent and our players realise that all they have left now is the grind of league action, I believe we can get a result here to steady the ship. Our players are...

Good to see Leeds United finally beaten this season, if only narrowly at home by a reserve Liverpool side in the League Cup last night. I watched most of the game and have to say that Leeds are very well organised and played with the confidence you would expect from a side that has gone unbeaten all season. They will now need to pick themselves up and get motivated for a hard trip to MK Dons whilst...

With an obvious minor exception, the nations football fans were united today in delight at the prospect of Chelsea not being allowed to buy anymore players for 18 months! That's the FIFA penalty handed down for the tapping up of Lens youngerster Gael Kakuta. It's all the more delicious when you know that Chelsea's spending power makes them believe, like most people with too much money, that the ordinary...

Well, well, well, the Charlton Athletic promotion assault couldn't have started any better could it. Four wins from four and the first half against Wycombe aside, exceptional performances haven't been forthcoming. The latest triumph against Walsall on Saturday was deserved, though it was achieved more through determination than quality, emphasised by the hat-wearing Miguel Llera's scrambled goal. Parky's...

Tim Breacker was surprisingly appointed as Phil Parkinson's Assistant this afternoon . The ex-full back spent 7 years at Luton and 9 at West Ham and has been out of work after being released from his Assistant Manager's role at Leicester after Nigel Pearson took over a year ago from Ian Holloway. Breacker was a lively attacking full back during his playing career with a decent cross if I remember....

Charlton were beaten for the first time this season when they went down 3-1 at Forest Green Rovers. Rovers coasted to a two-nil half-time lead against a strong Charlton line-up of Randolph, Wagstaff, Basey, Aaron Brown (triallist from Lincoln), Fortune, Semedo, Stavrinou, Spring, Fleetwood, McLeod and Dickson. Brown had to be withdrawn within the opening 30 minutes as he was suffering from a virus,...
