Not that I
went, but a surprising night was had by all at The Valley yesterday evening.
Completely
against the grain of recent history, not only did we field a relatively strong
team, but we beat lower league opposition convincingly, AND they only had ten
men. Which for Charlton usually means a
lot of huff and puff and very much an uphill struggle.
It strikes
me that there is a real ‘get the job done’ ethos about the squad at the moment.
And performances and results like this can only help cement the new look squad
into an efficient unit sooner rather than later.
I’ve been
really looking forward to Saturday, even more so now. Can’t wait to take a look
at the newly spruced up Valley, grab a pie and mash for my lunch (as opposed to
the hit and miss jumbo sausage in a roll behind the West Stand) and enjoy a decent
pint of beer, that apparently will be served much quicker than over recent
seasons.
Full preview
to follow later this week.
I wouldn't get too excited about the speed of getting your pint!
ReplyDeleteThe food has improved almost as much as the performance of the team in a cup match!
Thanks for the heads up re. the wait. Just as long as it's better than the nasty John Smiths or Fosters they've been slopping out for us over the last few seasons I'll be happy. I might even leave the car at home and go beyond the usual pint and get there early and enjoy the new enhanced matchday experience. Cheers.
