Come on you reds!!! Popped along to the Valley last night to see Charlton take on Norwich City, the first 20 minutes were the best footie I had seen Charlton play in a long time, Alex Varney looked very good, making some good runs, and with some match fitness he will be a major threat, was impressed with Jose Semedo, Andy Reid, and Lloyd Sam go better as the game progressed, Charlton looked much better for most of the game and should have had the game sewn up by midway in the second half, but we had to wait for Andy Reids penalty brace in the last 5 minutes. For much of the second half it looked that despite the domination we would only get a point, McKleod came on for the tiring Varney and immediately troubled the Norwich defence with is pace, so much that they conceded both penalties trying to deal with his pace.
Danny Mills was his usual self, he got Darren Huckerby going in his own special way, in the closing moments Dion Dublin playing at the back was for some reason in the vicinity of Danny Mills and lost his rag a tad and received his marching orders for allowing himself to get wound up by Mills. I cannot wait to see Danny Mills on the right and Ben Thatcher on the left squaring up to any unfortunate winger who goes near them, should be a few cards flying around with those two in the team.
On the way home tonight I spotted Andy Reid in a South London Street entering his newly aquired house, managed to have a brief chat with the soon to be legend..nice fella with a cracking left foot, and a rarity one of the few players to live in the Borough his club plays in, unlike the majority of Charlton players who seem to settle in the Wilmington area.
