Charlton vs Aston Villa Pre season Match Thread

Re: Jack's bit of trivia I think the two teams are Liverpool and Northampton Town.

York City

They're non-league.

My only concern with these friendlies is the opposition have barely carried a threat so we haven’t been tested at all at the back.

I'm sure we'll get tested next week.

Davis in a nutshell today. Some lovely touches in the build up, created 2 goals dropping off. But zero goal threat - one one occasion a ball was whipped in, he was right in the mix and he didn’t even jump.

Where are the keys for the champions league bus?

The cross from El Ghazi? Even the Jolly Green Giant wouldn't have got his head on that one.

I think he’s going to do a Luca Toni and start finding his scoring touch in his mid twenties. His overall game is solid, so can be built on.

Did someone forget to tell SJM it was a friendly?

[levico]

I’m rarely impressed by anything these days and I know that these were inferior opposition but Deano really does have his own style. There were times in this match when we were playing as if something really significant depended on the outcome.
It’ll be much more of a challenge in the PL but with this attitude you can’t help be think that we may be back for good this time.

[Legion]

We'll be fine.

[Toronto Villa]

Watch and repeat. Watch and repeat.

I know you can look at the standard of the opposition, but we have got something about us. The way we can go from the game seemingly meandering pointlessly to hold, turn, touch, touch, touch, goal in the blink of an eye is wonderful. I feel a '77 coming on. Let's just not bollocks it up away from home this time, eh, Villa?

Freddie looks excellent.

[levico]

On this basis, if SJM maintains this level of commitment, he is going to be a very very big name in the PL.

Keeping him may be a problem at season end.

No it won’t as the top 4 will be worrying about keeping their own players from the mighty Aston Villa!
