Interview with Andy Reid.
An interview with Ireland International Andy Reid is now available the official website.
He arrived in SE7 without any pre-season games under his belt having suffered a knee injury, and as a result has been forced to get fit in the team, much like his former teammate Murphy had done following his move to Charlton.
Reid said: "I'm delighted that I've been given the opportunity to get fit in first-team competitive games - and I've been lucky enough to get 70 minutes in a European Championship qualifier with the Republic of Ireland as well which also helped massively.
"It's not easy to go in and play competitive Premier League football against some of the best players in the world but I'd rather do that than spend afternoons running around the training ground. And I feel that with every game I play I'm getting a lot fitter and I feel like I'm influencing the games more and more.

Charlton v Watford.
After a disappointing 2-1 loss to Fulham on Monday night. Saturdays game against Watford is a must win for Charlton. The fans are desperately waiting for the Addicks to kick start their season and move away from that bottom position of the table. A series of injuries had plagued the team and now with a healthy squad, a win at the valley is a must.

Fulham v Charlton
Tonights game against Fulham is a must win for Ian Dowies men. The team is nearly back to full squad after several of the players that have been out due to injury set to feature.
Betfair are offering about 4.5 / 1 on a Charlton win and I think this is a good bet. Charlton have a lot to play for tonight. Only 3 points collected and currently sitting at the bottom of the table doesn’t do the fans or the team any confidence.
CHARLTON CASUALTY LIST
Andy Reid returned from injury for the last match against Arsenal and since then there has been more positive news from the club's treatment room:
Returning: Souleymane Diawara (hamstring), Omar Pouso (hamstring) & Jerome Thomas (foot)
Still out: Cory Gibbs (knee), Gonzalo Sorondo (back) & Djimi Traore (leg)
Out: Kevin Lisbie (shoulder)
Reading from Fulhams web site Chris Coleman is sure up for this match and some quotes from his interview.
"More pleasure to beat Charlton than Man United"
"Like playing a wounded animal" referring to Charltons current form.
We are hoping for a win tonight and that would take us up from the bottom three.
15 Newcastle 8 -5 7
16 Sheff Utd 8 -6 6
17 Wigan 7 -4 5
18 West Ham 8 -6 5
19 Watford 8 -6 4
20 Charlton 7 -8 3

A big thanks to Charlton Athletic Football club for allowing us purchase tickets for this weekends game at the Valley. While it was a defeat for the home team it did end up been a great football game. Both sides played well and instilled confidence in the home fans that Charlton can play well against the better teams.
The table shows us at the bottom but what it doesn’t show is that we have played the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and an inform Portsmouth and Aston Villa. While this is no excuse for any manager, this with a list of injuries can count for a lot.
Saturdays game will be forever marked in football history for a dramatic second goal from Robben van Persie that sealed Charlton’s fate along with putting his name on the record sheets for an excellent goal.
Some notable moments from the game:
1st half saw Jimmy Floyd pass a nice cross along the goal to Darren Bent who put Charlton on the score sheet. It looked off side from where I was sitting but this referee wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed for this game.
Arsenal always looked like they were going to score. Scrappy defensive work from the home team saw van Persie put his name on the score sheet after 32minutes.
49 minutes on the clock saw Van Persie take his volley from mid air. What a shot and what a pleasure to be in the stand to see it.
The referee: The referee on this game had a poor performance, he wasn’t on Charltons side and equally wasn’t for Arsenal either. The crowd were very frustrated by his choices and he didn’t allow the game flow naturally. A handball by Gallas in the second half went un noticed at the same time some hard tackles by Charlton equally went by the way side.
Hasselbaink messed up big at the end when he missed a total sitter heading the ball wide. From looking at the replay on tv, if he left the ball alone, Bent was behind him and could have slotted it in.
The table looks something like the following. It looks bad for the Addicks but hoping that this is the worst of it over by now.
