Charlton at the Ricoh

Optimism was high before the game. A point would probably see us safe, if we won and Forest got a point then Charlton would be relegated. All to play for.

Unfortunately, no-one had told the Charlton fans, who had hired a coach to get to the Ricoh. Just the one coach mind....



Team news, Boozy and Mrs Doyle in midfield, Ddddddddan Fox left side of midfield, with Super Kev on the other side. More Reasons and Wheels on my house up front.



It was sunny, and there was a holiday spirit in the air. Unfortunately this was on the pitch, rather than in the stands. Two things quickly became apparent.

Firstly, the team were already on the beach. Listless, lifeless and lacking in commitment, effort and enthusiasm.

Secondly, Charlton were awful. Sounds like stating the obvious given their position at the bottom of the league, but they were still worse than expected.

The third thing soon became obvious as well. No-one was going to score. Ever.

Nothing really happened. Can't really remember any highlights until Citizen came on for his debut. He looked good, pacy, direct and not afraid to take on a defender. We like him a lot, looks promising, and one for the future.

That's about it really, looking forward to Forest away, which has to be better than this, with a bit of atmosphere. This was truly awful.
