The end of the previous season had been less than inspiring but the unprecedented changes to the playing staff at the Valley had lead me towards cautious optimism.
I said that I'd be pretty happy with a Play Off place and the end of season lottery.
As it turned out, my prediction fell way short of reality and Charlton strolled towards the title with 2 games to spare.
So, our summer has started a little earlier than I expected/hoped for.
No Play Offs.
I must admit it did feel odd waking up on Saturday without even a thought about the mighty reds and how they'd be faring.
The team are on 'vacation' in Las Vegas so I doubt there'll be any transfer news for a while.
I intend to enjoy the hiatus.
