Just watched the highlights it was a poor Charlton team with a load of trialists and junior players.

However Zaha seemed to play with a smile on his face. It could mean of course he is confident of getting his move to a big club or maybe he is happy because of Eze joining and taking some of the pressure of him.

It must be frustrating when you are a talent to be in a battling side where everyone expects you to produce the magic there must be times when you think "c'mon what about one of you guys".

If the big move doesn't happen and we sign a decent striker I can see him staying and being happy.

I watched the whole game, and I have to say that I thought Wilf was pretty average. And there wasn't much smiling in evidence until we took advantage of Charlton's en masse substitutions.

I thought we played ok in the first half against the stronger of Charlton's teams, but just couldn't finish.

I saw the whole game too and the first half was same old same old as far as the finishing went. However, it was good to see the attacking mindset that we had. I tend to agree re Wilf despite his goal and assist. For me, he made too many selfish or wrong decisions when other players were in great positions. Had he looked up more in the first half and got rid of the ball more quickly we could have scored more IMO. He did seem to link well with Eze some of the time but he missed a number of Eze's good runs or positional moves.

Didn't see the whole game, but watched the highlights. Eze seems lively - looking forward to seeing him and Wilf turn on the style. Hoping we can pick up a couple more good quality younger players - get some energy injected into last year's team of grandpas.

That team of grandpas were safe after 31 games. Ask the fans of Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford if they would object to having a team of grandpas that achieved safety
with seven games still to play!!

But it was the most dire, dull, boring and uninspiring season of football to watch EVER!

So I am all for the introduction of some new, young, quality players as suggested by lagoseagle.

Correction, we were in reality safe with 10 games to go - beating Brighton put us on 36 points which was in itself enough to keep us up

Why we only play local rivals for pre-season - they seem more interested in trying to injure our players than playing football.

Most likely due to COVID-19 and the potential for areas closing down with little notice. We are playing Brondby next Saturday though.

Always great to get a win over Charlton and all the better if it is an easy win which it was over our regional rivals. That should keep a number of work colleagues quiet.
