Ahead of today’s match, we have done a Q&A with a Charlton Athletic supporter, so thank you to Danny for answering our questions!
How long have you supported Charlton Athletic?
Since 2011!
Where did you finish last season?
13th.
What do you think of your manager?
An extremely knowledgeable coach, I like him but remains to be seen if he can get it working on the pitch.
What are your hopes and expectations for the 2022/23 season?
Before pre-season, a top-six finish. But with the way we’ve prepared for the season, I’d be surprised if we topped 13th!
One(s) to watch?
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, an explosive winger on loan from Crystal Palace who has been extremely impressive.
Which teams do you think will finish in the top six in League One?
Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich, Plymouth, Barnsley, Bolton, Peterborough and Derby will all expect to be up there! I also think that Oxford, Wycombe and MK Dons will start climbing the table soon.
Which teams do you think will finish in the bottom four in League One?
It’s hard to see it changing even this early on, but wouldn’t surprise me if Charlton were dragged right down into it!
What are your thoughts on Lincoln City?
A hard-working side that I thought have had some decent players over the last few years, Jack Diamond is a very astute signing!
What do you think the score will be?
3-1 Lincoln, we can’t keep clean sheets, but we do seem to score every game.
