Charlton to beat drop

With their usual positive outlook some Charlton fans are proclaiming that we are already relegated before a ball is kicked.   However, last season Four Four Two magazine said we would be relegated.  This year they are forecasting survival in 21st place.

FFT's verdict is: 'Solid defensive foundations plus a capacity for surprising one-off results thanks to an underdog spirit after Nathan Jones could be enough io beat the drop - but a touch more open play creativity is needed.'

Fan Natasha Everitt forecasts a 17th place finish 'which is fine by me.  Rome wasn't built in a day.'

Everitt says that the main change she would make at the club is to stop signing injury prone players.  The opposition player she'd like at The Valley is Swansea's Chilean keeper Lawrence Vigouroux.   Let's hope he's not like the Chilean player I saw playing for Catholica in Santiago who when he scored the only goal of the game took his shirt off to reveal a tattoo of Christ on the cross covering his back.

She hopes that 19-year old Micah Mbick will recover from his injury to offer a fantastic attacking option.
