Not sure what to expect from Reading. Sounds like they played well against Birmingham but struggled against Wrexham. Hoping to nick a 1-0 win

Charlton to beat Reading please

Wrexham beat Reading 3-0 and Lincoln beat Mansfield 4-1 with less possession than 36%. This league brings a good clash of styles between possession based football and direct football and often the latter is more effective. Charlton the last few seasons have often dominated the ball, passed it...

Really poor take, if you watched the game you'd understand how meaningless those stats were. Bolton had a lot of the possession but did nothing with it, Mannion made 3 saves all of which were pea rollers straight at him and our defending restricted you to speculative shots outside the box. We...

Allan Campbell coming in from Luton on loan. Should be a really good player at this level. Didn't do too well on loan at Millwall last season but should thrive in Jones' team rather than at Millwall where Joe Edwards implemented a passing possession based game. I'm not used to having this depth...

Definitely our best performance of the season so far, against an underwhelming Bolton side. May not be the prettiest on the eye but pressed really well and solid at the back. To be able to bring on Aneke and Godden against a tiring defence shows how much our squad depth has improved this season...

Charlton win against Bolton please

Ness was really good when he first started playing for us but got injured and wasn't the same again. Hopefully works out for him as there's a lot of potential there

Bolton should be a pretty good test for both sides. Despite 2 wins out of 2 we've not looked brilliant either game and I understand Bolton are similar with a draw against Wrexham and a goal gifted to the by Orient. I think this game has 0-0 written all over it, which I will take but would really...

We've had Marosi on trial for our u21s. Club legend for gifting Pratley a goal in the Playoffs when he was at Doncaster. Not one I'd be delighted with. We were looking for an experienced number one for Mannion to learn off but I'd rather have Manion number one than Marosi.

Too early to tell for sure but looking like the story of our season will be that we are difficult to beat, whilst banking on the odd chance going forward. 2 clean sheets out of 2 after only keeping 5 all season last year. Neither team were great but the more the game went on the more I felt...

We seemed to give up after your goal which was a real shame as we started quite well. I'm not entirely sure who are the fringe players and who are the expected starters but your defence struggled quite a bit with our press until we dropped the intensity of it after the goal. You can tell there's...

After ok but not great displays against Wigan and Birmingham, Orient will be a good test to see if we have improved on last season or whether we are destined for midtable mediocrity again. I think Orient are a good side but hope at home we have a bit more attacking intent than we showed at...

Charlton to beat Orient, joker

We were pretty poor overall tonight, missed a penalty and Birmingham scored a 30 yarder. They were the better side but didn’t look particularly great. Both sides look like they're still gelling as a team, Hansson for Birmingham did look really good though

Sounds like Nathan Jones doesn't take cup competitions too seriously which is a shame as we've had so little to get excited about the last 20 years that the odd run in the cup have been highlights. That being said we actually have quite good squad depth so could still field a half decent team...

That was pretty much the story of our season. Create absolutely nothing but May will get a goal out of nothing.

Forgot to update my predictions but I do expect Birmingham to win the league. My main concern for them would be Alfie May, he will get them goals but I'm not sure he's a League One title winning striker. Maybe a bit counter intuitive but I feel to get Alfie to thrive you have to play in a...

I watched the Bromley game and they were superb, looked comfortable and were the much better side. It may just be a first game boost, but they shouldn't have any difficulty staying up based on that performance.

Not much in it but a good win for us. We looked very good defensively which is a big improvement given we only got 4 clean sheets last season. We were also woeful away last year. Still cautious as we had a similar performance and game last season in our opening game and our attack and midfield...
