Don't Panic, Don't Panic!

Now then, where shall we start? Susie, why don't we have a quick word about Charlton? They put out a team of 12-year-olds, but, you know, it was still quite nice to have what used to be, you know, that routine win.

What did you make of the performance?

Well, it was a little bit of a shock to hear Glory, Glory, Charlton, what's fair at the end, wasn't it? God, I haven't heard that for ages.

The first half was a bit... sighing a bit at half-time.

But then, wasn't it lovely just to get some goals and just to look dominant? You know, we could have been playing against Dunstan's Browneers.

You know, I wouldn't have cared.

We managed to get some goals and Savio, as he is now, came on and just did the business and looked like he was up and at them, which, frankly, is what we all want

them to do, isn't it? Absolutely.

Well, yeah, and it was a very impressive cameo, Julie.

A good goal, and we thought he'd got a second, but it has, of course, the great Ben Davis had actually deliberately flicked that in.

Anything else about that game? I mean, we have Mikey Moore, of course, the great Mikey scoring an absolute banger.

And then for about, oh, I don't know, 20 minutes after that or 25 minutes going into the second half, he looked like the mean Yamal, but he's now been shipped off to Cologne.

yeah well we know this is this is a terrible personal tragedy for you simon quite honestly um and we may yet rue the day but i was it was nice that he got a girl wasn't it and it was lovely to see savio's cameo appearance and absolutely typical that that he immediately retired injured for what was going to be the big encounter i'm with i'm with sue on this that it is so it was just so nice to to have goals and a win even though it was the league cup and even though you know we're not allowed to have nice things because the uh draw was rapidly made and i guess we might come to that at some point soon but you know if we're gonna draw another opponent of course it's got to be liverpool

Yeah, I mean, why not draw a team we never beat? Kev, I mentioned this stat right at the top.

We've lost 21 of our last 39 home league games.

It almost beggars belief.

I mean, the fact that we've all been there to watch this shit, perhaps it isn't that surprising.

But, you know, I think we had sort of, even though Charlton were... a bit shit and, you know, as I said, it's kind of a youth team.

We still thought, great, you know, there's enthusiasm, there's excitement about going into the Newcastle game.

Marmoosh was making his debut.

Odd selection on the right-hand side.

What did you make of

RDZ's setup? I thought it was all right.

I mean, I think...

Clearly, there are those couple, two or three gaps where we're just struggling to fill them with players who are really comfortable.
