Most schools are back next week though. Yeah I was disappointed with the attendance. Hopefully we'll see a few more home fans for the next 3 home games in September.

Clyde1998 The attendance yesterday was 14,778 with 2,684 away fans, so a very similar home crowd to the Wigan game.

We were doing better at the back end of last season. I wonder how many are staying away out of frustration that Dai is still our owner. Get the takeover done and continue our decent start and we can be pushing 15k home fans most weeks (so 16k - 17k) overall depending upon away attendance.

Seems to have largely revered to our pre-March average (12,110 on Saturdays/Bank Holidays) and that includes Burton and Leyton Orient, which I think both had some kids/schools offer attached to them which boosted the numbers to over 13k.

For the four before Blackpool, we got around 14k home fans - although there was that 'mini-season ticket' that helped things.

There's probably an element of people deciding against going until the takeover happens for certain.

South Coast Royal It was a strange game in some ways with so few chances created by either side.
Charlton let us play in the first half and it was a pleasure to watch but we didn't, for all the possession create anything.

In the second half Charlton had much more of the ball but we created 3 chances and scored from 2 of them after far less possession than in the first half.

Well played Perreira,for all our good work it could still have been 2-2 but for his brilliant saves.

As with the Wigan game, a warm day and much promise of our ground becoming a fortress again-long may it continue but we will have to toughen up a bit for away games if we are going to make an impression at the higher end of the table.

2 downers from yesterday, Dorsett continues to look out of position (not his fault as he is playing there because there is nobody else and we don't want a right-footer there)and Kelvin didn't do much, otherwise top performances all round.


In Kelvins defence their right back was good. And did his best to keep Kelvin under wraps. I imagine that's what Jones asked him to do.

I too thought he could have done a bit more running-into-spaces, but ultimatly think he was man marked.

Very decent performance against a side who will be in the top 10 at the very minimum - they aren't pretty but they will be effective.

One thing you can see is that having the Academy play a very similar way to the first team is bearing fruit - Akande took a couple of games to find the level but you can tell he knows his job already and looks more than capable of filling the Azeez shaped gap we have.

We still need a few more bodies, should the takeover ever happen, just to cover for injuries but there is a definite core there of 15 or 16 players who are capable of competing at the right end of the table.
