Outbreak of gloom among the Addickted
The Charlton moaners were surprisingly quiet after the victory over Sunderland, no doubt finding it difficult to offer the team a few words of praise. But Charlton fans are notoriously pessimistic (or perhaps realistic) and it doesn't take much to sink them into a new mood of gloom. This time it's been Wigan's narrow defeat by a lacklustre Chelski side.
There are, of course, no easy matches in the Premiership as the Baggies reminded us this season. However, when I last checked the rules, you have to score goals to win a match. And what was evident is that Wigan's finishing is woefully wasteful. Effort and determination can only get you so far in the Premiership: you need skill as well, particularly when it comes to the few chances you get to score. (But I see from The Times this morning they are after Dean Ashton which would make them a more serious threat).
Their defence did look good, especially their keeper, so there is always a risk of a 0-0. However, given the spirit and skill we showed on Saturday, I think that we have every chance of taking three points. Of course, it has already been pointed out the last time we were top of the league at the beginning of the season we were relegated.
We'll take a closer look at Wigan later in the week.
BTW, can anyone explain this? The Non League Paper yesterday gave directions to Welling's ground, stating that you could get there by tube by using Gallions Reach tube station (3.9 miles). Have I missed something?
