It may be Valentine's Day, but there appears to be no love lost between Charlton Athletic supporters and the current manager of the team, the approriately named Guy Luzon. There is much disquiet at the moment regarding Duchâtelet and his whole Belgium business model. Things could get ugly today, both on and off the pitch. I personally won't be going today, travelling from the Isle of Wight to The Valley is a huge commitment of time and money, and to be honest the poor quality of football offered this season has meant many disappointments - and still not seen the Addicks win.

However, by hook or by crook, we must stay in the Championship. Today's match will be essential, win and this could give sufficient momentum to finish a credible mid table. Lose and the downward spiral continues, it is possible if Brighton and Millwall win well, and we lose badly we could be in the bottom three by this evening. I suspect this match will end up as a disappointing draw, to add to our ridiculous tally of drawn matches this season.
