Still getting over the first encounter, KEVIN NOLAN watched the Cray Valley replay, which took place next to a roundabout where he used to attend Eltham Amateur Boxing Club’s outstanding boxing/dinner shows. It now houses a McDonald’s drive-through – and also a drive-thru. Since their magnificent performance against Charlton on Bonfire Night, Cray Valley PM […]

Kevin Nolan’s FA Cup Valley View: Charlton Athletic 1-1 Cray Valley PM
The first ever Greenwich borough derby in the FA Cup should have been a foregone conclusion, shouldn’t it? It might have been if the Addicks had put out a proper first team against eighth-tier Cray Valley Paper Mills, writes KEVIN NOLAN. The managerial mantra is, by now, time honoured.

Charlton fans who missed their side’s defeat on Tuesday got a wake-up call at The Valley yesterday. KEVIN NOLAN picks apart the Addicks’ second loss in a row.

Kevin Nolan’s Valley View: Charlton Athletic 4-1 Exeter City
A welcome win under the lights had Addicks fans starting, warily, to look up the league table rather than down. KEVIN NOLAN reports from The Valley.

Kevin Nolan’s Valley View: Charlton Athletic 3-1 Wycombe Wanderers
Michael Appleton’s first match at The Valley as Addicks manager ended with a welcome win over Wycombe. KEVIN NOLAN reports.

Kevin Nolan’s Valley View: Charlton Athletic 2-1 Fleetwood Town
A turbulent week at The Valley after Dean Holden’s sacking ended with an important win against Fleetwood Town, writes KEVIN NOLAN. Jason Pearce’s first game as Charlton’s interim manager was tetchy, rumbustious and ultra-competitive. A bit like the man himself, then, and none the worse for that. He even got himself booked, which you might […]
