Ten years ago: Oldham at home
Today Charlton face Chelsea at The Valley in a second versus first clash. Ten years ago a crowd of 8,926 saw them take on Oldham in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. The good start to the season had faltered with a goallless draw away at Tranmere and 2-0 defeat by the Blades at Bramall Lane. Charlton had slipped back to 9th in the table.
My notes state, 'Charlton started well enough but Oldham scored in the 8th minute and after that Charlton lacked confidence for the rest of the half. Stuart had a particularly poor game and was taken off in the second half. Leaburn mised an open goal. Fortunately, he got a goal in the second half and Charlton then played more aggressively. 1-1 was a fair result.' Leaburn had to have seven stitches inserted in a scalp wound following a clash of heads.
Curbs lamented the lack of goals in recent matches: 'We have enjoyed long periods of domination in all our matches so far this season but we have got to be much more ruthless and brave and have more desire to get people into the box to get those goals. I am not putting presure on any department of the team, but most people look at the forward line to deliver goals, but I feel that other departments have to take their share of the blame and have got to start contributing in this area.'
The featured player was Paul Sturgess who revealed that he had 7 GCSEs and a BTech in Sports Management. These may have come in handy, as he was last heard of in the Conference and then disappeared from view.
