Pompey hopes

Michael Appleton said before Sunday's match against Cray Valley Paper Mills that he wanted Charlton to be a paragraph in the papers on Monday, not a leading story.   As it happens, The Times devoted two short paragraphs to Charlton, but made a major splash of Portsmouth's defeat at Chesterfield where they played their first team..

CAS Trust preview here.  It mentions Colby Bishop who was available at a snip from Leamington some years ago: https://www.castrust.org/2023/11/portsmouth-three-points-as-usual-please/

Coming into Saturday's game, Pompey have some injury worries: https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/portsmouth-hit-with-double-injury-set-back-ahead-of-charlton-clash-but-welcome-encouraging-news-over-skipper-4404495

We have had a good record at Fratton Park in recent years against a background of general mediocrity, but these good runs eventually come to an end.  Much depends on our defence.

2,153 Addicks will be in the away end,

Congratulations to Alfie May on becoming League One Player of the Month, the first time we have had this accolade for three years which speaks volumes.  Interview with him here: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/exclusive-interview-with-league-ones-player-of-the-month-for-october-charlton-athletic-striker-alfie-may/
