Latest score: Charlton 0 West Ham 0
1: Here we go Come on you Irons!
2: West Ham have lined-up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Cullen and Oxford holding and Samuelsen, Payet & Valencia in front of them supporting Sakho.
6: Payet and Sakho are already linking up well, they might make an awesome partnership in the Premier League this season
12: Sakho almost through on goal but was fouled by Bauer outside the box. Referee fails to see the offence so no free kick given.
16: James Tomkins receives lengthy treatment on the pitch following a clash
19: Tomkins is finally back on his feet following the incident and should be okay to carry on
27: Both Oxford and Tomkins are doing their job in stopping Charlton dictating the game but little up front from the Hammers
40: Payet goes down looking for a penalty after playing a one-two with Sakho inside the box. Booked by ref for diving.
45: Half Time: Charlton 0 West Ham 0
46: We’re underway and just one change . Charlton thrown on Ahearne-Grant for Charles-Cook.
47: Sakho shot finds side netting after he is played in by Payet.
50: That man Payet charges at the Addicks defence Payet plays a ball to Cullen whose shot is wide of an upright.
54: Huge chance for Charlton as Watt gets in behind and heads for goal but fires wide with only Randolph to beat. Should have scored. Phew!
55: Sakho’s deflected effort flies for corner which is non productive
59: Henry on for Tomkins

61: Sakho effort turned over the top by Pope – corner cleared.
63: Samuelsen and Valencia off – Jaanai Gordon and Amos Nasha on.
65: Cullen fires in a shot but hits side netting.
73 Former Iron Diarra opts to chest rather than head a corner in rather than heads and Randolph blocks and Irons lucky to escape.
77:Charlton subs Lennon and Holmes-Dennis on for Gudmundsson and Diarra.
80: Nathan Mavila replaces Sakho.
82: Holmes-Dennis tests Randolph who does well to push behind.
90: Jordan Brown on for Payet
Full time: Charlton 0 Irons 0 in a match of few chances
Thats a good line up, better than Thursdays team .. and I can see goal scorers in this line up.. I said before kick off last Thursday that I couldnt see where the goals were coming from but this looks much more exciting 🙂
Nice looking side full of talent and could be a very exciting afternoon for the fans,
Agree with Dainon can see plenty of goals in this selection,
Pre-season canter round the pitch,lol,looking forward to thursday though.These pre-seasons like today & tuesday bore me tbh.Gives the wetpants formation & tactics gurus a runout though i guess 😉
Good to see Gobyac has taken over the wetpants comments with his usual slagging of everything,lmao.Good to see he doesnt just spread his **** on here,lmao 😉
How is the second half doing?
Only just got home,0-0,not knocking many in this preseason it appears.Saving them all for thursday,lol.Why are you surprised that Fob should be spreading his knowledge.If he wasnt something would be wrong,lol 😉
Too busy today,no time for watching live feeds on the official site,watching it change over like a moron.Hmmm,seems like a lacklustre,typical sort of pre-season game.No surprise i guess.
Floppysac the man who spouts so called wisdom but actually spouts nothing at all, a manager in his own mind who loves to preach an opinion but can’t or won’t listen to others..
Happy with the clean sheet!! Gotta respect the point also 😉
l got to say its still a much better pre season than the last on the whole. So much better
For all these early games, there is still little indication on how this team will line-up or perform against Arsenal in a couple of weeks. About the only certainty I can see is Adrian in goal.
