Lions Sign McLeod
Jan 15th
League One side Millwall have finally solved their striking-crisis by bringing in Charlton player Izale McLeod.
The forward, who has failed to impress since arriving from MK Dons for £1.1m in 2007, will join the Lions side until the end of the season.
The former Derby, Colchester and MK Dons star, scored an impressive 60 times in 120 games before making his move down to South London side Charlton Athletic.
The deal could end speculation regarding onloan striker Tresor Kandol’s future following discussions between his parent club Leeds United and Kenny Jackett.
I’m sure all Lions fans will welcome the signing of McLeod, who I believe is the type of player we’ve needed to partner Gary Alexander for a long time.
Championship Predicitions
Aug 9th
We asked some of our Football League fans to fill out a serious of predicitions and they are as follows, if you would like to do the same then you can join in at our forums by clicking here.
True Saint [Southampton Fan]
Who will win the League?
Birmingham
Who will get relegated?
Swansea, Doncaster and Sheffield Wednesday
Who will be top goalscorer?
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake
Biggest Suprise?
QPR
Who will be player of the year?
James Beattie
Biggest Disappointment?
Norwich
Tresor [Birmingham Fan]
Who will win the League? Hate to be so optimistic, but as backed up by all bookies and pundits, we have the strongest squad in the League, and I will disappointed not to win it. I realise that it’s not that easy, as Steve likes to remind me, but seriously, look at our firepower and depth.
Who will get relegated? Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday + any from Barnsley, Doncaster and Saints
Who will be top goalscorer? – Not one of our lot, we have too many for consistancy, Beattie is abit injury prone, so I’ll go for Earnshaw or most likely Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
Biggest Suprise? Burnley or Coventry, Two quality squads, I expect both to finish top 8.
Who will be player of the year? Heart says Seb Larsson, Head says Sylvan Ebanks-Blake or Kightly.
Biggest Disappointment? QPR, I still think top 8 is a sure thing, but the hype means anything less than top 3 will be a disappointment; although to be fair to them, their fans know that the hype is a little too much. Also I think Coppell is losing it, and despite this being the same team that ran away with it 3 years ago, there is a different air around Reading
Hatch [Ipswich Fan]
Who will win the League?
Reading – They seem to have kept most their squad apart from Shorey.
Who will get relegated?
Doncaster, Southampton, Watford
Who will be top goalscorer?
Ebanks-Blake or Doyle
Biggest Suprise?
I reckon Coventry could be up there with a quick succesion of free transfers this week including the once prolific Clinton Morrison. The likes of East and West wood, Doyle and Tabb could be enough to push Cov towards those top two places.
Who will be player of the year?
I can see it being a Coventry player – Jay Tabb is peaking. Akos Buszaky could impress too.
Biggest Disappointment?
I can see Derby having a hard time and suffering a similar fate as Charlton and Sheffield Utd from last season. They will probably finish mid-table or worse.
Larry [West Ham Fan]
Who will win the League?
….can’t really see much further then Birmingham
Who will get relegated?
…Blackpool, Doncaster, not sure about who else
Who will be top goalscorer?
kevin phillips
Biggest Suprise?
Swansea
Biggest Disappointment?
again I think Charlton and Sheffield Utd

Season Preview – Charlton Fan
Aug 8th
Are you pleased with your summer transfers?
No. So far we have sold our 2 best centre backs and brought in 1 who isn’t as good as the 2 sold! Hudson is a defensive leader, but he has no pace, and from the couple of pre-season games, needs another solid defender next to him, but we have sold all our best ones. As for Stuart Fleetwood, he couldn’t cut in with Cardiff at this level. sunk down to the Blue Square where he was top scorer, and now we give him a second chance. One i don’t think will pay off!
Who would you still realisitically like to sign?
We need another centre back, so Sam Sodje. He was on loan last season, has been told by Reading its time to leave, so come on Pards, snap him up. Also Pards is interested in Cranie from Portsmouth, so why not get him on loan? Other than that, we need a centre midfielder and a winger. Why not a cheaky bid for Davis at Portsmouth, or Etheringham at West Ham or Ben Watson from Palarse. We could also try for Man Utd or Arsenal youngsters on loan. Lee Martin from Utd, or Song from Arsenal?
What is your teams main strength?
Charlton’s strength this season is simply belief. We now have players who are believing in themselves and the club. They have looked confident in pre-season, and its now time to take that onto a competitive stage. Other than that, we have alot of youth players coming through, and for once they are charlton supporters and not spuds or spammers!
Who is the weak link in your team?
Amady Faye. Do i say more? [Signed for Stoke today]
As for in our starting 11, probably the right back, Yassin Moutaouakil. He is great going forward, fantastic pace, and good tackling. but he can’t jump or head. we conceeded too many last year when teams spotted this and targetted him.
Where do you think you will finish the season?
Hopefully play-offs. Not sure if we can go up, but our squad is capable for the play-offs. Only problem is, so are half the squads in this divisions!
Is your manager the right man for the job?
Yes. He may be a little dodgy in the transfer market, buthes a leader and loved by fans. He talks sence and says what the fans wants to here. and you dont find crap excuses coming out of his mouth!
One to watch?
Jojoy Shelvey. He’s only 16 and made his first team debut last season. He won’t last the whole season as he’s still young, but he will make a big impression on the league. If we don’t go up though, expect prem clubs to come sniffing.
What would be the highlight of your season?
2 wins over palarse again! Just to see the looks on Neil Warnock and Simon ‘Tangoman’ Jordans face!
