First look at new signings

Charlton (first half): Elliot; Warren, Wiggins, Taylor, Mambo; Wagstaff, Stevens, Bover Izquierdo, Jackson; Hayes, Popo.

Charlton (second half): Sullivan; Solly, Andersen, Morrison, Doherty; Green, Hollands, Pritchard, Davisson; Benson, Williams.

An encouraging start  to our pre season friendly program.

I know Welling United isn’t exactly top or testing opposition, but the reality is they are only 3 divisions below us in the pyramid. And hopefully after nearly going out of existence last year are on the way up.

What struck me from the highlights that were available on ‘Wings TV’ via YouTube, was despite it only being a friendly, there looked to be a confident and winning mentality on display from our new signings – which can only be a good thing and should crossover to those who have remained from last season’s unsuccessful squad.

Williams took his goal well, and who knows perhaps he will turn out to be one of those peaches that are accidentally unearthed. If Powell does fancy him, then we’ll have to act quickly as he is being strongly linked with Colchester United.

I’m looking forward to slightly more testing opposition later this week in Bristol City and Cardiff. According to the News Shopper there are still more signings to come, so it will be interesting to see if/ who appears prior to Fridays game.
