Team of the week
at 09:26 22 Sep 2026

Hopefully he’ll learn safety first from that and take the corner on the chin. Can see why he might have tried to leave it to Edward’s in the moment. Had a great game other than that though.
Talking about the 2nd goal btw

He who shall not be named..
at 12:47 18 Sep 2026

It's only a distraction (or hunt) by a bunch of silly ol' c*888 online, here and whatever right wing run social media hate platform they engage with. I don't know anybody in the stands who buys into all this crap. Some are distracted by the words of some who should know better, but the reality is most fans would love to see him fit and in the team. Sadly, he's been injured again this first part of the season, nothing more. And all this nonsense about him being lazy...he looks nothing but lively when he's on the pitch and presses hard when we're playing that way. I can't wait to see him out on the pitch again.

The one that looks on - look at their feet only and you'll see that it's clearly off. Idiots in the studio going on about maybe he was leaning off. Nonsense - his feet are clearly further forward, so his lean definitely puts him off.

Charlton and the Wheelies Match Thread

They were sitting in and it needed a clever intricate moment from a tricky player, rather than pointless crosses. None of our tricky players, Chair, Saito, Poku were involved tonight. We constantly looked to go forward and moved the ball well between the lines. We just didn’t have the player who could create a bit of magic at the end of it. Regardless of where they finish in the league, prior to Saturday they’ve troubled the opposition they’d come across in their first 4 games. None of that today. Take the point and move on

Wearing the black kit on Saturday
at 14:15 4 Sep 2026

I usually despise black kits, but up close I think this one looks alright, and put the Saito Japanese writing on the back, as per the current offer, and I think it'll look mustard (in my karate class).
If I could wear a black kit I'd do it

Hope he’s got the hang of these 3 game weeks, and is simply thinking ahead to the two in a row. We all know you get what you can for the first two and worry about the third when you get there.
As much as I don’t like to see us resting our best centre half (he is by some distance!) it’s probably wise given 2, out of the last 3 seasons

After he scored and added to his 6 goals from last year whilst not being at his best. Maybe we get a big kick n run into a dead end type

Madsen hamstring
at 19:51 25 Apr 2026

If he’s still here this thread will be about Varane next year. I got pelters for saying Madson was a good player. Varane has had a tough season, but he’s a good player. Finds it easier to hit a 60 yd cross pitch ball than 10 yds, but he will come good, if here. I’ll leave it there

With his injury issues this past 2 seasons and our current team woes, maybe they’ve simply had to ease him back to fitness so that he doesn’t break down again, and thus he’s not been able to train properly until recent weeks. The medical team not taking any chances tells me he’s still pretty fragile. I think any attitude talk is very wide of the mark.

When they got that final corner on the right, I thought Vale was gonna steal up and put it on Jimmy's head

Noticed this right away. He doesn’t get there because he’s adjusting his feet. On my glance at the time he seems to be still backing towards his goal when the fella takes on the early strike. My main criticism at the time was did he need to be still backing off that far at that point. Closer you are to the ball the lesser the angle, and 3 yds off his line felt like excessive backing off given he’s over 25 yds out with a defender facing him up. I’ll back him all the way though.

Morgan's Passing

Everything positive from the middle came through him. Continually takes the ball with his left on the half turn and plays a pass with his right, and does it with ease. An abundance of energy, too. He just needs to not force it sometimes, but I think with his recent run he’s settling more and starting to do that less. He went from a player starting or always getting some game time every week last season to not making the bench this, so it’s understandable he’s keen to impress when he gets a window. He’s already had to deal with failure once…but he’s a great player and I’m glad Stephan is starting to be impressed by him and knows where to play him. His touchline instructions when putting him on against boro were essentially drop in and give the defenders an angle to get it to you. He did that then and he was great at it throughout the first half yesterday. And that ball you talk of with the outside of his boot with backspin so that it held up for mbengue was what I pay money to watch football for as much, if not more than winning, knowing the limitations of the team I chose to support. Absolutely sublime

You clearly missed all the challenges in and around our box in the first half. He completely muscled players off the ball and carried it away at least 3 times in the first half when others were watching on.

Feel free to keep to the ill informed narrative that he’s no good though

Varane was one of our best players on Sunday. Bar one awful pass he was as solid as be. He and Edwards were the only ones who could walk off that pitch with their heads held high.
They will target our right, as Middlesborough did, as did Saints. Virtually all goals coming from that side in both games. Mbengue (who I really like) is definitely not a full back. Complacent against players who are quick and looking to play balls around the full backs. + if he goes up the pitch and looses it he seems to think it's acceptable to jog back without urgency for the counter. He also gets isolated as Vale just hasn't got a clue how to defend/cover, he's simply not been coached it up until now.

So ..... team for Saturday ?
at 09:18 27 Feb 2026

He seems to have stopped trying too hard to impress in the recent games, and looked more like the player we watched and were impressed by last year.

Seeing Kolli listed here and not discussed post Southampton. He wasn't awful in a first half we controlled from the 15th min til Madson's injury around the 40th min. My gut is he was feeling something, or injured, so was pulled off.
Might not see him tomorrow...
