Notts County v Charlton Preview

So our first away game of the campaign is nearly upon us.

County have made 8 new signings pre season (all free transfers) and released 7 players.

They will be buoyed by a great first day win away to Carlisle followed by an epic local derby in which they only missed out on penalties yo neighbours Forest.

We will be fresher, not having had to play Reading in midweek, which I think will go in our favour.  It's always difficult to predict anything this early in the season.  I recall Derek Hales scoring a hat trick in an opening day away fixture at Cardiff back in the eighties, I listened to the updates on LBC and at the end of the day as a fledgling Addick was convinced that this was going to be our season.  We went on to scrape enough points together to stay up.

I think, despite still gelling together as a team, we will have too much quality for County and should squeeze a 1-0 win out of the game.
