Another wonderful fact full week for us to peeerrrr ruse, don't know how you find the time Chuckles to do this, and teach the kids at school how to nail a piece of wood to another piece of wood with a screw.

Ha ha. Its easier to set up the new match when finishing the previous one as I can reuse bits to save typing out again and pasting the links etc. The facts come later when I get chance to look at them. They come eventually (earlier than normal this week)!

That’s a really good point.Charlton have quality all over their squad.I think they had won their last 6 as well,so will definitely take a point.Bonham made a great penalty save,which stopped them taking the lead.Graham scored one for us in the second half,and then they brought on Aneke to chase an equaliser which he then did.

A point to add to the away win at Crewe two weeks ago,and hopefully we can change our recent form against Wimbledon at home on Tuesday night.
