Added incentive

As the Addicks go for a record start to a league campaign today at Tranny, there was an added incentive after the Millwall v Brighton match at the New Den last night. I fully expect Millwall to finish in the top 6 this season after a strong showing under Kenny Jacket last year and for me they are the benchmark side for us to stay above if we are to be in with a chance of promotion (as well as the obvious satisfaction of finishing above them for the millionth season in succession).

The incentive then, is to be a whole 8 points clear of them after only five games, a lead which would enable us to have a wobble and remain in the frame. They will be disappointed with a 1-1 draw against lowly Brighton in a game which they should have won.

With second-placed Leeds travelling to third-placed Colchester and fourth-placed Bristol Rovers at Wycombe Wanderers, the coast is clear for us to breakaway at the top and establish a lead over our early rivals if we can get a grip on the game at Prenton Park and take the points.

COME ON YOU REDS!
