1-1 weird goal.

i think we've got a bit more about us this season, well i hope so anyway.

chance for lambert - 1st min! poor touch though.

Doubt there will be just yet. everyone has played spot on so far. I fully expect Papa to come on somepoint in the 2nd half, possibly for Mills (depending on how his fitness is)

HT - 1-0 , so far - so good. Sounds like pards has called it spot on so far and the players know what their jobs are - our shape has nullified charltons threat according to the commentary. 2nd half we also have the ''impact'' for Papa too....i hope we keep the same mentality though, because we've really kept charlton at bay with us having the best of the attacking play.

the threat from charlton seems to come on the break, down the flanks (i think that shows how much we're pressing in their half though)

Lallanana!!!! 1-0

it's not ''that'' bad once you get used to it. doesn't compare with the old Jimmy case / Will cope though. You always knew what was going on with them.

big pressure from Saints atm - another corner

Good bit of play from saints morgan doing what he can do - sprays it out wide to mills, he plays it across the box and charlton clear - corner. (which was cleared by charlton)

Good move again by charlton, after they screwed up the corner, they came back at us with a 1 - touch move and shelvy hits over the bar.

Corner charlton

Portsmouth 0 - 1 Bolton

...didn't come to anything

corner saints really good start

doesn't work for me, just sits there...not making any connection at all oh well, nm. Solent it is!

FFS should have been 1-0 to saints cleared off the line, then saved by their GK.

not a scam - they regularly have matches available for Uk viewers. But i logged in to check and we're not a listed match...

for Saga, I think it's possibly down to the international traveling he's had - probably only got back friday. waste of time too - as he didn't even feature on the bench for polands two games.

For me - yep.

Maybe a bigger chance....? ''Charlton midfield duo Nicky Bailey and Therry Racon are concerns for Saturday's home clash with Southampton (3pm), Phil Parkinson has revealed.Racon picked up his hamstring problem in last weekend's 2-0 win over Brentford, while Bailey suffered the knee complaint in training on Tuesday, and both may be forced to sit out the fixture with Alan Pardew's Saints.The absence of either of the pair would see Parkinson forced to change his starting XI for the first time this season after naming the same side for the opening six league fixtures of the new campaign.Of the two players, Bailey is thought to be the most doubtful, but Parkinson insists he has other options available to him should the flame-haired star miss out''

0-6, i'm ITK.

If you look upon Burleys tenure overall, it’s a really hard one to judge – a bit of a mixed bag really. When he first came here I don’t believe I saw any disapproving voices – he was a pretty good choice in the opinions of almost all fans. We did fall towards the relegation zone when he first came here and we played some god awful performances (Ipswich at home stands out as one of the worst ever). – But we improved and we won 5 of the last 6 games and finished top half comfortably in the end. The pre-season was all change, with ‘’let’s go wilde’’ and the crew coming in – should they have given GB as much money as they did? IMO no – it heaped pressure on everyone at the club because if we failed and didnt attract further investment (which was a hollow promise in the first place), the consequences could have been catastrophic (which unfortunately, we've found out) He did spend alot of money on wages and transfer fees – and in all honesty, you’d have expected a better return in league position that year. What he did get us doing was scoring loads of goals, you knew that we’d score in every game we went into (we scored the 2nd most goals away from home than any team in England – so his coaching worked so well in that aspect). We were probably unlucky not to get to the final based upon our performance v Derby, but you cannot help looking back now and thinking we should have done so much better with the outlay. Sadly his second season was set to fail from word go, he wasn’t able to keep the team together and wasn’t able to really replace anyone with the same level of quality. He started to panic (£1.2m on Thomas summed it up – that was a travesty). I think GB knew he couldn’t keep us going upwards with the current structure in the club, don’t forget we also lost Snodin who was a huge success here – it kind of cut GB’s right arm off, so I was not surprised to see him move on – but you cannot look back on his entire reign and say it was a complete failure, it was a mixed bag – some good, some bad , but ultimately destined to fail once we couldn’t attract any further investment.

It was never in doubt
